FAUCET INSTALLATION

CAUTION

For 3-hole (4" centers) installation,
apply Putty to underside of Escutcheon (4)
and place over holes in lavatory sink with tab
towards back.

Feed faucet tubes through Rubber Ring (2)
and through hole in Escutcheon (4) or mounting
surface. Make sure Rubber Ring (2) is seated in
groove in base of Faucet (1). Escutcheon (4)
is optional on single hole lavatories.

From below, push Mounting Gasket (5) and
Mounting Washer (6) over Stud (3) and secure
with Nut (7), pushing Faucet (1) to back of sink,
so Stud (3) rests against sink hole. Before final
tightening, adjust Faucet (1) and Escutcheon (4)
so that they are centered.

Carefully bend and/or cut supply tubes and
connect left tube to HOT water and right
tube to COLD water supply using appropriate
connectors.

Turn off water at

main supply.
