STEP 1: HOW TO PUNCH OUT FAUCET HOLES & INSTALL STEEL LEGS 

1. Place the laundry tub on a clean surface, such as a blanket or carboard, and turn the tub upside down to allow for the removal of the pre-formed knockouts. These will accommodate the faucet that is going to be installed. The hole plugs may be removed by a flathead screwdriver or a small chisel and a hammer (see Fig. 1).
   

2. While the tub is still upside down, insert the 4 steel legs into each corner socket (see Fig. 2).
   

3. Use a hammer and a block of wood to drive each leg into the tapered socket until it is secure **(see Fig. 3).

CAUTION:
**

  *  **DO NOT** strike the leg directly with the hammer. Place the block of wood against the leg, then strike the wood with the hammer. **  

**

  *  **DO NOT** insert the leg all the way into the tapered socket. It’s okay if there is a gap between the tub and the corner of the steel leg. Verify that each leg is locked securely in place by gently tugging the leg. **  

**

  *  **DO NOT** wiggle the leg back and forth, as this will loosen it from the tapered socket. **  

**

4. . Mount leveler to each leg. Note that there are two holes in the bottom of the leg at different locations. Select the proper hole that will allow access to the screwhead after the tub is in the desired location. Attach leveler with ¼ in. (0.63 cm.) bolt and nut and hand tighten it. DO NOT over-tighten it in this step (see Fig. 4).
   

5. Gently turn the tub back to the correct position after the steel legs are installed.

6. Position the laundry tub in your desired location. To adjust the level of the tub, move the levelers up or down. Tighten the nuts after adjusting the levelers to the desired level. Holes on the bottom of levelers are included for mounting the tub to the floor if desired (anchors not furnished).

MPORTANT: When installed correctly and the leg is secure, there WILL be a slight gap in the corner between the top of each leg and the bottom of the tub (image A).

Do NOT attempt to insert and force past this gap to make them flush. This WILL crack the tub (image B).

STEP 2: INSTALLING THE LAUNDRY FAUCET

1. Shut off the hot and cold water supply from the stop valves and remove the existing faucet and sink.

2. Apply a thin bead of silicone sealant to the underside of the Putty Plate and carefully slide the Faucet Shanks into sink hole and position the faucet into the desired area (see Fig. 5).
   

3. From underneath the sink, insert Mounting Nuts and tighten it carefully (see Fig. 6).
   

4. DO NOT CONNECT THE HOT & COLD SUPPLY LINES YET. SEE STEP 4 FOR CONNECTING SUPPLY LINES.

STEP 3: INSTALLING THE PLASTIC DRAINAGE

NOTE: When installing new plastic drainage, loosely tighten all pieces first to make sure of proper fit, then make final connections.

STEP BY STEP (see Fig. 7):

1. Slide Slip Nut 3 threads up onto the Tail- Piece 2 , and insert Flanged Washer 1 in top of Flanged Tail-Piece 2.

2. Tighten the top Tail-Piece2 to the Sink Strainer with Slip Nut 3.

3. Insert Slip Nut 3 threads down and Washer 4 in bottom end of the Tail-Piece 2.

4. Insert Slip Nut 3  threads down onto Wall Tube 5 , then insert Slip Nut and Washer (not provided) onto other end of Wall Tube 5.

5. Place flanged end of Wall Tube 5  into lower portion of J-Bend 6 and tighten with Slip Nut 3. If wall connection is standard 1 ½ in. threaded pipe, install wall tube directly into pipe and tighten Slip Nut and Washer (not provided).
   NOTE : If wall connection is to 1 ½ in. plastic pipe, a Conversion Adapter, purchased separately, will be required for proper installation (see Fig. 8).
   

6. Swing J-Bend6 to align with bottom of flanged Tail-Piece 2. Connect J-Bend 6  to Tail-Piece 2  and tighten it with Slip Nut 3. If tail-piece is too long, a hacksaw or tubing cutter may be used to trim away excess material.

STEP 4: CONNECTING SUPPLY LINES TO STOP VALVES

1. Install new water supply lines according to the manufacturer’s installation instructions. DO NOT reuse existing supply lines. (see Fig. 9).
   

2. Turn on the hot and cold water shut off valves.

3. CHECK FOR ANY LEAKS AT THESE CONNECTIONS BEFORE RUNING THE FAUCET. If leaks are found, tighten slightly until the leak stops.

4. Run the faucet for at least a minute, then run the water with side sprayer for another minute, this will flush out any sediment that may have been dislodged during installation.
   While the water is running, check for any leaks.

If leaks are found:

(A) Tighten slightly until the leak stops.
