Chicago Faucets Deck Mounted Faucets Installation Instructions

Overview

Chicago Faucets deck mounted faucets feature cast brass bodies and precision cartridges for years of reliable operation. Metering models with adjustable cycle time offer true water savings.

Notice to the Installer

• Read this entire instruction sheet before installing to ensure proper installation.
• Installation must comply with local codes and ordinances.
• For fittings installed with pre-rinse or glass filler valves, check valves must be installed to prevent crossflow.

Pressurized plumbing fixtures shall be installed in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations. The supply piping to these devices shall be securely anchored to the building structure to prevent installed device from unnecessary movement when operated by the user. Care shall be exercised when installing the device to prevent marring the exposed surface.

NOTE: The information in this manual is subject to change without notice.

Please leave this manual with the facility manager after completing the faucet installation. This document contains information necessary for routine maintenance and servicing.

NOTE: Before installation, turn off water supplies to existing faucet and remove faucet if replacing. Clean faucet basin and clear away debris. Flush all supply lines before connecting to faucet. Failure to do so can result in debris clogging the inlets and/or cartridges.

Supplemental Bubbler Installation Instructions for 748-665CP, 748-665FHCP, 748-244CP and 748-244FHCP

Installation with Anti-Rotational Pins (Figure A)

1. Choose two holes in bubbler base that correspond with the deck/sink drilling and tap each anti-rotational pin with a hammer until seated. There should be approximately 1/8" length of pin exposed when fully seated.
2. Drill 3/16" diameter holes on 1-9/32" centers and 1/4" deep in the deck/sink for anti-rotational pins if mounting holes are not provided.
3. Attach Bubbler to deck using the anti-rotational washer provided.

Flow Adjustments (Figure B)

1. The projection of water flow can be adjusted by using the 1/8" hex wrench provided. Insert hex wrench and rotate control clockwise or counterclockwise until the desired flow is achieved.

Note: Bubblers have been designed to utilize the 722-013K inlet flow control. To ensure proper performance, it is imperative that the 722-013K be installed with each bubbler.

Timing Adjustment on an MVP Metering Cartridge

1. With cartridge and handle installed in body and water supply turned on, purge cartridge of air by pushing handle completely down 4-8 times repeatedly, then check timing cycle.
2. To change cycle time, remove index button, then handle using a 3/32" hex wrench. (Figure C)
3. Using your fingers, change height of adjustment nut by 1/4 turn only. Turn adjustment nut clockwise to increase cycle time or counter-clockwise to decrease cycle time. (Figure D)
4. If filter and lower valve cartridge have been removed from fitting, replace them by inserting filter first.
5. If gasket has been removed from the actuator assembly, replace it by inserting into bottom of actuator assembly.
6. Assemble actuator assembly to body and tighten to 12-15 ft-lbs torque.
7. Replace handle and verify desired cycle time. NOTE: TIMING MUST BE CHECKED WITH HANDLE IN PLACE.
8. If additional adjustment is necessary, repeat steps 3 through 7 until desired cycle time is achieved.
9. Attach handle and tighten set screw with a 3/32" hex wrench. If index button is included, snap into handle.

Note: Some new installations might produce a slight closing noise. This is normally the result of air trapped in the cartridge. The noise will dissipate over time.

Timing Adjustment on Push-Button (NAIAD) & Tip-Tap Self-Closing Cartridges

1. Turn off water supply.
2. Remove cartridge from valve body with 1-1/4" flat hex wrench. Use care to prevent damage to cap hex nut.
3. Locate timing hex nut on bottom of dashpot. Turn hex nut clockwise to increase cycle time or counter-clockwise to decrease cycle time (Figure E). NOTE: Turn in 90 degree increments for each adjustment cycle. Fill the dashpot with water, slide it over the bottom of the cartridge, and place both back into the faucet body.
4. Place cartridge into faucet body and fully tighten cap nut with wrench to 15-25 ft-lbs torque. Turn on water and verify cycle time by depressing cartridge fully.

NOTE: Insure that cap gasket is in place within cap before assembly into valve body.

NOTE: Cartridges with 'SLO' designation include an external timing adjustment via a set screw in the top of the handle. Using a 7/64" hex wrench, turn the set screw clockwise to decrease cycle time or counter-clockwise to increase cycle time. (Figure E)

Timing Adjustment on a Push-Tilt Self-Closing Cartridge

For Push-Tilt cartridges, the timing adjustment procedure is identical to Push-Button Self-Closing Cartridges, except for an external timing adjustment feature that is integral to Push-Tilt handles. This adjustment can be used for minor cycle time changes without the need to remove the cartridge from the body.

For external adjustment, lift handle slightly to expose 1/16" hex socket set screw (Figure F). Turn adjustment set screw clockwise to increase cycle time or counter-clockwise to decrease cycle time. If greater timing adjustment is required, follow the instructions for adjusting the timing on a Push-Button Self-Closing Cartridge.

Care and Maintenance

All Chicago Faucets fittings are designed and engineered to meet or exceed industry performance standards. Care should be taken when cleaning this product. Do not use abrasive cleaners, chemicals or solvents as they can result in surface damage. Use mild soap with warm water for cleaning and protecting the surface of Chicago Faucets fittings.
