DRILLING THE HOLE FOR THE FAUCET
NOTE: Safety glasses should be worn to protect your eyes while drilling the faucet hole.

  2. Carefully select the faucet location making sure it will have a neat water fall pattern and that the faucet stud will be accessible from below once the hole is completed.
  3. For Porcelain Sink: Before starting the drill motor. apply firm downward pressure on the bit until a crunching occurs. This will help keep the drill bit from moving.
  4. For Stainless Steel Sink: Before using a½” carbide drill bit. an indent should be made with a center punch to keep the drill bit from moving. A small pilot holewill also aid the½” drill bit.
  5. For best results. keep steady firm pressure during the start of the hole.
