4. Installation
This faucet is designed for 2 or 3-hole, 4-inch centerset installations. Ensure your sink's hole size is between 0.8-1.5 inches and the maximum countertop thickness is 1.06 inches.
- Prepare the Sink: Turn off the water supply to the sink. Clear the area under the sink and remove any old faucet components.
- Install the Faucet Body: Place the deck plate and faucet body onto the sink holes. Secure it from underneath the sink using the provided mounting hardware. Ensure the faucet is centered and stable.
- Connect Water Supply Lines: Attach the hot and cold water supply hoses to the corresponding inlets on the faucet body and then to your hot and cold water supply valves. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench for a quarter turn. Do not overtighten.
- Install the Pop-up Drain: Follow the instructions provided with the pop-up drain for proper installation into the sink drain opening. Ensure a watertight seal.
- Test for Leaks: Once all connections are secure, slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for any leaks. If leaks occur, tighten the connections as needed.

6. Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will help preserve the finish and functionality of your faucet.

- Water Spots: To prevent water spots, wipe the faucet dry after each use.
- Material: The faucet is constructed from durable SUS304 stainless steel, which offers good corrosion resistance.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low Water Pressure | Clogged aerator or partially closed water supply valves. | Clean the aerator at the spout. Ensure both hot and cold water supply valves are fully open. |
| Leaks from Faucet Base | Loose mounting nuts or worn O-rings. | Tighten mounting nuts under the sink. If problem persists, inspect and replace O-rings if necessary. |
| Leaks from Supply Hoses | Loose connections or defective hoses. | Ensure all hose connections are tight. If hoses are defective, replace them with new ones. |
| Water Temperature Issues | Incorrect handle adjustment or issues with water heater. | Adjust hot and cold handles. Check your water heater settings if hot water is consistently too cold. |
