2. Install the Supplies

CAUTION: Risk of restricted waterflow and product
damage. Use extreme care to avoid kinking and twisting the

supply hoses. The supply hoses must not be taut after
installation.

NOTE: If the sink installation requires that you coil the supply hoses
to obtain a good connection, maintain an inside coil diameter of at
least 3″ (7.6 cm).

Carefully position the hot and cold water supplies so they will
not interfere with other hoses or items below the mounting
surface.

Connect the supply hoses to the supply stops. Left is hot, right is
cold.

Tighten all connections.
