1. Cut a 40mm diameter hole through the bench top. Ensure the thickness of the
bench top does not exceed 30mm.

2. Remove the rubber seal washer and brass lock nut.

3. Fit the ‘o’ ring sealing washers (provided in a separate bag) over the tail pipes and
push it up to fit against the underside of the sink faucet.

4. Secure the ‘hot’ hose into the left hand of the two shorter pipes when viewed from
the front. Secure the ‘cold’ hose into the right hand of the two shorter pipes when
viewed from the front.

5. Place the mixer body and hoses through the hole cut in the bench top. (NB: The
hoses will need to be placed through the holes one at a time).

6. Place the rubber seal washer over the hoses to form a seal on the underside of the
bench.

7. Secure the faucet in place using the brass backnut, against the underside of the
bench.

8. Screw the pull out spray handpiece into the conical end of the spray hose, ensuring
firm seal is made with the sealing washer within the hose’s conical end fitting.

9. Place the smaller threaded end of the pull out spray hose through the faucet spout
opening. Push the hose down the spout and through the faucet body until it exits
out the bottom of the faucet next to the hot and cold hoses. Continue pushing the
hose through the faucet body until the pull out spray handpiece engages in the
spout opening.

10. Screw the spray hose connection into the remaining pipe connection, ensuring the
small rubber sealing washer provided in the bag is fitted in the remaining pipe
connection to form a water tight seal.

11. Attach the lead weight to the spray hose using the screws provided. The screws are
used to assemlbe the two halves of the lead weight around the hose. The optimum
position for the lead weight is at the bottom of the front loop of the spray hose

12. Flush pipework thoroughly.

13. Connect the hoses to their respective water supplies (see over page). Two rubber
washers are provided for the flexible hose supply connections. Machined nipple
ends are required to ensure a seal to the flexible hose nuts and the rubber washers.
