Installer Tip

Shut off main water supply before installing new faucet

Step 1a: Installing the Easy Install Assembly (Without Escutcheon)

Shut off the water supply. Remove the old faucet. Clean the mounting surface. Check for the proper thickness of the sink. Insert the base (a) into sink. If your model does have a escutcheon, skip to step 1 b.
NOTE: “Front” on the base (a) must face the front of the sink. The two mounting plates (b) on the base (a) must be loose and movable during the installation of the base (a).

Step 1b: Installing the easy install assembly (With escutcheon)

Place the escutcheon (C) and the gasket (D) on the sink. Insert the base (a) into escutcheon (C). Note: “Front” on the base (a) must face the front of the sink. The two mounting plates (b) on the base (a) must be loose and movable during the installation of the base (a). If the sink is uneven, use silicone under the gasket (D).

Step 2: Installing the Easy Install Assembly

Press the base (a) and escutcheon (C) so that they can not move, then turn the screws with the provided hex wrench (J, HEX: 6.0mm) clockwise. When the mounting plates (b) make contact with the sink (1), continue to turn the screw with the provided hex wrench (J, HEX: 6.0mm) clockwise, until the base (a) is completely tightened and secured.

Step 3: Installing the Faucet

Insert the hose (1), supply lines (2) and quick connect hose (3) one by one through the hole of the base (a). Carefully insert the hoses into the base. Place the faucet assembly onto the base (a) as shown in the above figure. Secure the faucet assembly (B) by tightening the set screw with the provided hex wrench (I, Hex: 2.5 mm).

Step 4: Securing the Faucet Assembly

Install the weight clip (G) at the point of the hose marking “weight here”. Insert the weight (F) onto the weight clip (G) by sliding it down onto the weight clip (G).

Step 5: Connect Waterlines to Main Valve

Attach waterlines to angle stops and tighten until snug. Turn on angles stops and check for leaks (DO NOT TURN FAUCET ON)
NOTE: Please make sure filter washers are installed before connecting to the main valve.

Step 6: Flush Faucet

Pull the hose assembly out of the spout and remove the sprayer (A) by unscrewing it from the hose in a counterclockwise direction. Be sure to hold the end of the hose down into the sink and turn the faucet on to the warm position where it mixes hot and cold water. Flush the water lines for one minute. This flushes away any debris that could cause damage to internal parts. Check for leaks. Re-tighten any connections if necessary, but do not overtighten. Reinstall the sprayer (A) by hand tightening it back onto the sprayer hose. After installation is completed, turn on the hot and cold water supplies. Check for leaks.
NOTE: Please make sure washer is installed attaching sprayer to hose.
