Care and Maintenance of Your Faucet
Your KINGSTON faucet has been finished to the most strict standards; however, due to the high content of minerals in the water, your finish may appear dull and tarnished after time. These are some do's and don'ts to maintain the luster on your faucet for many years to come.
DO
- Use a silicon based caulking when installing.
- Clean your faucet with only a mild soap and water solution.
- Dry your faucet after using it.
- Give it a coat of Carnauba Wax periodically.
DON'T
- Use plumbers putty when installing the faucet.
- Use any abrasive cleaning agents.
Restoring Dull Finishes
It may seem like a very simple and short list but it is that simple to maintain your faucet, looking shiny and new. If your faucet is already looking somewhat dull and tarnished, before replacing it, try cleaning it with a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. You may need to soak some rags and wrap around those stubborn areas. Leave overnight and rinse completely in the morning. Apply Carnauba wax once you have removed the mineral deposits.

Installation Instructions
Twin Handles Wall Mount Faucet
Before Beginning Installation
- Flush plumbing lines to clear any debris.
- Shut off both supply lines after flushing.
Tools Needed
- Adjustable Wrench
- Teflon Tape
- Silicone Sealant
- 10mm Allen Wrench
- Screwdriver
Installation Steps
Step 1: Secure Valve Body
Properly secure valve body to wood bracing using copper straps. Ensure the distance between the back of the valve body and the finish wall surface is 2-5/8" to 3-1/4".
Step 2: Connect Valve Assembly to Supply Lines
Connect valve assembly to 1/2" IPS supply lines. The union adaptors on this valve are threaded for 1/2" NPT male threaded fittings.
Warning: To avoid structural damages, do not use gas fittings or fittings of any other size.
Apply Teflon tape to the 1/2" NPT threads of the supply line and thread the union adaptor onto the supply line with a 10 mm Allen wrench.
Warning: Do Not over tighten the union adaptor. It will cause improper stress inside material and lead to fracture over time.
Then tighten up the Hex nut with wrench.
Warning: Do Not Over Tighten.
Step 3: Install Spout
After inserting the spout flange, apply Teflon tape to the spout and thread the spout onto the valve body. Turn the spout clockwise by hand to connect with the valve body. Make sure it is tightly connected, then adjust slightly to ensure the spout outlet is facing down. Apply silicone based caulking to the back of the flange and press against the wall.
Step 4: Attach Handle Flanges and Bonnet Nuts
After applying silicone based caulking to the back of the handle flanges, insert onto the valve body and push completely to the wall. Thread the bonnet nut onto the valve assembly.
Step 5: Install Handles
For Lever Handles:
Turn both the stems to their close positions. The stem on the cold side should be turned clockwise, and the stem on the hot side counter-clockwise. Then insert lever handles onto stems and make sure both cold/hot handles are aligned and horizontal. Tighten up the screws to secure the handle on stems.
For Cross Handles:
Insert cross handles and secure the screws onto the valve stem. Insert valve cap and press firmly.
Step 6: Test for Leaks and Functionality
Remove aerator and turn on both hot and cold valves. This will clear any debris left in the line. Reinstall aerator. Turn on/off both handles to open and close water at least 1 minute and make sure no water leakage on the valve body or any connection.
Installation Warnings
Warning!!!
- Do not over-tighten nut during installation.
- Over-tightening may crack the valve and cause severe leak.
