Before You Begin
B
The Faucet for Filtered Water
in this package is designed to fit a 9/16" hole. Most standard sinks come with 1-3/8" or 1-1/2" diameter water sprayer holes that can be used for
mounting the Faucet. If the pre-drilled holes cannot be used or are not in the desired position, a new hole must be drilled using either a 9/16" or 5/8" drill bit to accommodate the
Faucet for Filtered Water. The Faucet for Filtered Water base should be positioned securely on a flat surface with adequate space for proper function. Also consider convenience
and appearance of the Faucet before installation.
1
In order to prevent parts and materials from falling down the drain, line the sink with newspaper or a towel.
2
Apply masking tape to the area to be drilled in order to prevent scratching the sink surface or countertop if the drill bit slips during operation.
3
Using a center punch, mark the drill hole. Use the 1/4" drill bit to make a pilot hole. Then use the 9/16" or 5/8" drill bit to drill the final hole.
Drill completely through the sink or countertop and smooth the rough edges with a file.
4
Consult your local plumbing codes and install accordingly.

Safety glasses and a respirator are
recommended for this process, as it
may produce dust that can cause

stem. Slip the threaded Faucet for Filtered Water stem into the sink or countertop
hole. Make sure the Faucet for Filtered Water sits flat on top of the sink or
countertop surface.
3
From underneath the sink, slide the Metal Lock Washer
Water stem. Then screw the plastic Faucet Stem Nut
stem until it is flush with the Metal Lock Washer. Screw until it is slightly snug and
check to make sure the faucet spout is in the proper position. Using fingers, tighten
the nut to secure the Faucet for Filtered Water to the sink.
NOTE: Do not tighten the Faucet Stem Nut with pliers as it may strip the Faucet
stem threads.
STEP 2
Install the Kitchen Faucet Adapter
NOTE: The Kitchen Faucet Adapter is designed to fit 1/2" NPTF supply threads.
1
Locate the cold water shut-off valve under the sink. Turn off the cold water supply
to the sink.
NOTE: If uncertain about which line supplies the cold water, turn on the hot water
to the kitchen faucet. Allow the water to heat up and carefully feel the pipes under
the sink. The pipe that remains cool to the touch is the cold water supply.
2
Turn on the cold water on the kitchen sink to release pressure and allow water to
completely drain from the line.

DO NOT DRILL THROUGH AN ALL-PORCELAIN OR CAST IRON SINK. If installing on an all-porcelain or cast iron sink, the faucet must be
mounted in a pre-drilled sprayer hole or through the countertop next to the sink. If the countertop must be drilled, make certain that the
area below the drilling location is free of wiring and pipes. Also, make sure that there is sufficient room to make the proper connections
to the bottom of the faucet mount. DO NOT DRILL THROUGH COUNTER TOPS MORE THAN 1" IN THICKNESS OR COUNTERTOPS MADE
OF TILE, MARBLE, GRANITE OR SIMILAR SUBSTANCE. Consult with a plumber or the countertop manufacturer for assistance.
