Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Faucet: Attach the flexible hoses to the faucet body. Ensure a tight seal.
- Mount the Faucet: Insert the faucet's threaded shank through the hole in the countertop.
- Secure the Faucet: From underneath the countertop, slide the rubber washer, metal washer, and mounting nut onto the threaded shank. Tighten the nut securely with a wrench, ensuring the faucet is straight and stable.
- Connect Water Lines: Connect the hot and cold flexible hoses to the corresponding hot and cold water supply lines. Use an adjustable wrench to tighten connections, but do not overtighten.
- Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for leaks. If leaks are present, tighten the connections slightly until they stop.
- Flush the System: Remove the aerator from the spout and turn on both hot and cold water for a few minutes to flush out any debris from the lines. Turn off the water, reattach the aerator.
Operating Instructions
The Decaura faucet features a single lever handle for easy control:
- Water Flow: Lift the handle upwards to increase water flow. Push it downwards to decrease flow and turn off the water.
- Temperature Control: Move the handle to the left for hot water and to the right for cold water. The handle allows for precise mixing to achieve your desired temperature.
