Safety Tips
If you solder the joints during installation of the faucet, the seats,
cartridges, and washers must be removed before using a ame
or the warranty will be voided on these parts.
Protect your eyes with safety glasses when cutting or soldering
water supply lines.
Cover the sink drain to avoid losing parts.
Things You May Need
Installations may vary depending on how the previous faucet was
installed. Supplies necessary for the installation of your faucet are
not all included; however, they are available wherever plumbing
supplies are sold.
Maintenance
Your new trim kit is designed for years of trouble-free
performance.
Keep it looking new by cleaning it periodically with a soft cloth.
Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, and harsh chemicals as
these will dull the nish and void your warranty.
Important Points
Prior to beginning installation, turn o the hot and cold water
lines, then turn on the old faucet to release built-up pressure.
When installing your new faucet, turn the connector nuts nger
tight, then use one wrench to hold the tting and a second
wrench to tighten the nut. Connections that are too tight will
reduce the integrity of the system.
Wrap all threaded connections with PTFE pipe tape available
at your local hardware or plumbing supply store. Always wrap
in a clock-wise direction.
