Spout Installation

Diagram Description: Illustrates the spout installation process. It shows screws (1), mounting nut (2), gasket (3), and washer (4). The diagram guides the user to thread screws into the mounting nut, position the spout assembly on the sink, align the gasket, and secure with the mounting nut and washer. An option for using silicone sealant on uneven surfaces is noted.

Instructions:

1. Thread screws (1) approximately 4 complete turns into mounting nut (2).
2. Position spout assembly on sink, in the center of the mounting hole.
3. Ensure gasket (3) is properly aligned in the cavity of the base.
4. Optional: If the surface is uneven, use silicone sealant under the gasket.
5. Secure spout with mounting nut (2) and washer (4).
6. After hand-tightening the mounting nut, tighten screws (1) until snug.

Valve Assembly Installation

Diagram Description: Shows the installation of the valve assembly. It includes gasket (1), base (2), valve assembly (3), mounting bracket (4), nut (5), and wrench (6). The diagram depicts sliding the gasket over the valve assembly tubes, feeding the tubes through the sink hole, seating the valve assembly, and securing it with the bracket and nut.

Instructions:

1. Slide gasket (1) up over tubes of valve assembly and place in groove in base (2).
2. Feed tubes down through the hole in the sink, ensuring the gasket is properly seated.
3. Place valve assembly (3) in the center of the mounting hole.
4. Secure valve assembly to the sink with mounting bracket (4) and nut (5) using the supplied wrench (6).

Hose Installation

Diagram Description: Details the hose installation. Diagram A shows hose guide (1), hose end (2), spout tip (3), and hose weight (4). It illustrates inserting the hose guide, passing the hose up through the spout, and attaching the hose weight. Diagram B shows pushing the hose end (1) onto the hose (2), attaching a clip (3), and pulling down to ensure connection.

Instructions:

1. Part A: Insert hose guide (1) into hose end (2). Pass hose (2) up through the tip of spout (3). Let the hose protrude from the spout to prevent it from being pulled in, or briefly attach the sprayer. Remove hose guide (1). Slide hose weight (4) over the end of hose (2).
2. Part B: Push hose end (1) onto hose (2). Attach clip (3) over hoses. Pull down moderately to ensure the connection is made.

Soap Dispenser Installation

Diagram Description: Shows the installation of the soap dispenser. It includes nut and gasket (1), dispenser body (2), gasket (3), bottle (4), and pump and head (5). The diagram illustrates inserting the dispenser body through the sink hole, securing it, screwing on the bottle, and inserting the pump and head.

Instructions:

1. Remove nut and gasket (1).
2. Insert body (2) and gasket (3) through the selected hole in the sink. Ensure gasket (3) is properly seated.
3. Secure body to sink with nut and gasket (1).
4. From under the sink, screw the bottle (4) onto the body assembly shank.
5. Insert pump and head (5) into body (2).
6. Note: To fill, lift the head and pump assembly out of the bottle and pour not more than 8 oz. into the bottle. Avoid removing the bottle each time as this weakens the neck. Periodically, pull the pump and head assembly out to soak and pump warm water through to remove soap build-up.

Water Line Connections

Diagram Description: Depicts the connection of water supply lines. It shows faucet fittings (1), tubing (2), metal nut (3), and supply valve connection (4). The diagram indicates connecting the red tube for hot water and the blue tube for cold water, looping excess tubing, and securing the metal nut to the supply valve connection.

Instructions:

1. Ensure all fittings and end connections are free of debris. Faucet fittings (1) are 3/8" compression, with ends colored red for hot and blue for cold.
2. Loop tubing (2) if it is too long. Recommended tubing minimum bend diameter is 8".
3. Secure metal nut (3) on faucet tube to supply valve connection (4) and hand tighten, then tighten one additional turn with wrench. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Repeat for other tube.
4. ⚠️ WARNING: Do not use pipe dope or other sealants on water line connections.

Custom Fit Connections

Diagram Description: Illustrates custom fitting PEX supply tubing. It shows the tube (1), nut (2), plastic sleeve (3), and outlet fitting (4). The diagrams also show correct and incorrect installation methods for the plastic sleeve and tube, emphasizing a straight cut and proper sleeve orientation.

Instructions:

1. Identify desired length of tube (1). Leave 1" - 2" of extra length for easier installation. Ensure the cut is straight and burr-free.
2. Slide nut (2) and plastic sleeve (3) onto the cut tube. Ensure the sleeve is oriented correctly.
3. Insert the tube into the outlet fitting (4). The tube should touch the bottom of the hole inside the fitting.
4. Slide the plastic sleeve down the tube until it engages the top of the fitting. NOTICE: Failure to use the plastic sleeve in the correct orientation can result in disconnection and possible water damage.
5. Slide the nut over the plastic sleeve. With a wrench, tighten the nut 2 turns past finger tight.

Potential Problems and Remedies:

• Tubing not cut perpendicular: Make an additional cut carefully, ensuring not to cut the tube too short.
• Tubing cut too short: Purchase a coupling union and a replacement supply line. Ensure the coupling union end mates with the faucet's standard 3/8" connection nuts and plastic sleeves.
• Plastic sleeve or connection nut lost: Purchase a replacement nut and/or plastic sleeve designed to seal with PEX tubing. NOTICE: Do not use a metal sleeve, RP51243 gasket, or ferrule instead of the supplied plastic sleeve, as it may not create a leak-free joint.

⚠️ WARNING: Do not use pipe dope or other sealants on water line connections.

Handle Installation

Diagram Description: Shows how to install the handle. It includes sleeve (1), bonnet (2), handle (3), stem (4), set screw (5), and button (6). The diagram illustrates threading the sleeve over the bonnet, placing the handle on the stem, securing it with the set screw, and installing the button.

Instructions:

1. Thread sleeve (1) over bonnet (2) and hand tighten.
2. Place handle (3) on stem (4) and secure with set screw (5).
3. Install button (6) into the set screw hole.

Flushing Water Lines

Diagram Description: Illustrates the process of flushing water lines after installation. It shows the hose assembly (1), faucet handle (2), and hot/cold water supplies (3). The diagram indicates pulling the hose out, turning the handle to the mixed position, turning on water supplies, and flushing for one minute.

Instructions:

1. Pull the hose assembly (1) out of the spout and hold the end down into the sink.
2. Turn faucet handle (2) to the full on mixed position.
3. Turn on hot and cold water supplies (3) and flush water lines for one minute.
4. IMPORTANT: This flushes away any debris that could cause damage to internal parts.
5. Hand tighten the hose nut (4) into the sprayer assembly (5).
6. Check all connections at arrows for leaks. Re-tighten if necessary, but do not overtighten.

Handle Limit Stop Adjustment (Optional)

Diagram Description: Shows the handle limit stop mechanism with two positions. Position 1 (left) allows full handle motion. Position 2 (right) allows half motion, limiting hot water. The diagrams show the handle and valve stem in different positions.

Instructions:

This faucet has an integrated handle limit stop with two positions:

• Position 1 (Left): Allows full handle motion (all cold to all hot). This is the factory default.
• Position 2 (Right): Allows half of the normal handle motion (all cold to mixed hot/cold). This position may help prevent scalding by limiting hot water.

To change positions:

1. Remove the handle.
2. Move the valve stem to the all cold position so water is on.
3. Change the position of the handle limit stop.
4. Turn off the water.
5. Reinstall the handle.
