Important Information
IMPORTANT
- Read this guide before proceeding with the installation.

- Make sure all the parts shown in the Service Parts Diagram section are included and in good condition.
- Respect all local plumbing and building codes.
- Do not store cleaning products in an enclosed space such as under a kitchen sink counter or the vanity of a bathroom sink. Emanation from cleaning products can have devastating effects on plumbing fixtures and accessories such as flexible hoses. These products should be stored in a cool and ventilated space.
WARNING
- When connecting the supply lines, make sure they are not bound or twisted. This may cause water restriction or damage.
- In order to prevent water contamination, do not remove any components from this faucet. The faucet contains a backflow protection device.

- Before taking the faucet out of the packaging, cover the drain of the sink so no parts are lost.
- Make sure all the parts are included and not damaged (see the service parts diagram). If there is a problem, report it immediately to the seller.
- Check to make sure the water supply and drainage lines are not damaged. Replace if necessary.
- Make sure there is sufficient clearance to properly use the handle of the faucet.
- When replacing a faucet, turn off the water. After turning off the water, turn the faucet on to release the water pressure.
- Do not use petroleum-based products with the exception of plumber’s putty.
Kalia reserves the right to make any design changes without notice. Use the installation manual supplied with the product. Kalia is not responsible for problems caused by an installation not executed in accordance with the directions given in this guide.

Necessary Tools and Materials
Step 1
Unscrew and remove the retainer nut, the mounting flat washer and the mounting rubber washer (fig 1.1).
To make it easier, remove the hand sprayer hose from these pieces first.
Insert hoses and the threaded tube in the hole (fig 1.2).
Step 2
- To use only if needed.
Partially tighten the mounting screws on the retainer nut (fig. 2.1).
Slide the mounting rubber washer and mounting flat washer in the faucet threaded tube (fig. 2.2).
Tighten the retainer nut until you feel a slight pressure. Then lightly unscrew the retainer nut and tighten the mounting screws evenly.
Step 3
Connect and firmly tighten the supply hoses of the faucet using an adjustable wrench. The blue supply hose must be connected to the cold male connection and the red one to the hot male connection. (fig. 3.1)
Comment: if the faucet installation requires that you coil the supply hoses, maintain a loop of 3” (7.6 mm) diameter.
Step 4
Turn on the water.
Pivoting the handle of the faucet, purge the hot and cold water for 30 seconds
(fig 4.1).
Step 5
Connect the hand sprayer hose to the output hose (fig 5.1). Install the weight
on the hand sprayer hose at approximately 4” (10.2 cm) from the bottom of the
loop (fig 5.2).
Step 6
Check the play and length of the hand sprayer hose you want for proper usage
(fig 6.1). To do so, a quarter turn is required to pull down the hand sprayer
(fig 6.2).
Reposition the weight will increase or decrease the length of the hand sprayer hose.
Step 7
If the hand sprayer does not fit in correctly with the spout or if the hand
sprayer hose is jammed (fig 7.1), reposition the weight (see step 5).
Step 8
Turn on the water and look for leaks (fig. 8.1)
If applicable, refer to the troubleshooting guide.
Your installation is now complete !
