5.3 Faucet Installation
- Install Faucet Spout: Place the main faucet spout through the center hole of the sink. Secure it from underneath the sink using the provided washer and mounting nut. Ensure the spout is oriented correctly.
- Install Handles: Insert the hot and cold handles into the left and right holes, respectively. Secure them from underneath with the corresponding washers and nuts. The 'H' marking typically indicates hot (left) and 'C' for cold (right), or as per local plumbing codes.
- Connect Supply Lines: Attach the two cUPC certified supply lines to the hot and cold water inlets on the faucet handles. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench for a snug fit, being careful not to overtighten.
- Connect to Water Supply: Connect the other ends of the supply lines to your hot and cold water shut-off valves. Ensure the hot line connects to the hot valve and the cold line to the cold valve.
- Install Pop-up Drain: Follow the instructions provided with the pop-up drain assembly. Apply plumber's putty or silicone sealant around the drain flange before inserting it into the sink drain hole. Secure the drain body from underneath the sink.
- Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for leaks. If leaks occur, tighten the connections slightly until they stop.
6. Operating Instructions
Your Senhozi SE-0028-BK faucet features a two-handle design for precise control over water temperature and flow.
- Water Flow: Turn the handles counter-clockwise to increase water flow and clockwise to decrease it.
- Temperature Control: The left handle controls hot water, and the right handle controls cold water. Adjust both handles simultaneously to achieve your desired water temperature.
- Waterfall Spout: The wide-mouth spout delivers a laminar waterfall stream.

7.1 Cleaning the Faucet
- Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for matte black finishes.
