Recommended Installation by a Professional Plumbing Contractor

Note: The use of petroleum base plumbers putty on our products will nullify the warranty.
We recommend the use of clear silicone sealing materials. Use plumbers tape or equivalent
to seal all threaded joints. If mounting faucet to a stainless steel rim, an under-mounting sup­port, (e.g. wood, appropriate size x 1/2” thick), should be utilized.
Recommended deck hole Ø1.25. Drill holes in mounting surface, center spacing for bridge
faucet to be between 8” - 9-11/16” and the side spray hole to be a minimum of 4-3/4” away
from the nearest mounting hole of faucet.

1. Place bridge faucet body through holes on mounting surface and secure into place with flange
nuts. See Fig. 1.

2. Thread quick connect adapter, with o-ring inserted, onto the base of each shank. See Fig. 1.

3. Attach the diverter assembly to quick connect adapters - one side at a time (cold block to
the cold side of faucet) as follows: Reference Fig. 2

a. Engage stem connector on to broached stem extention, located inside shank. See
Detail A.

b. Rotate to align exterior hex of upper and lower adapters and mate together so there
is NO GAP

between the two. See Detail B.

c. Check the alignment of the clip groove of upper adapter and the side slots of lower
adapter. Secure position by pushing clips though slot and into groove. See Fig. 2.

4. Place the side spray escutcheon with shank through mounting surface and secure into place
with flange nut. See Fig. 3.

5. Drop side spray hose through escutcheon and thread onto diverter assembly. Do not use
the adapter provided with spray assembly. See Fig. 3.

6. Attach hot and cold water supply hoses (1/2-14NPS, not included) to appropriate valve, (uti­lizing cone washers, friction rings and nuts supplied.) See Fig. 4.

7. Adjust handle alignment as required by, removing set screws on handle base. Lift handle from
stem, rotate to proper alignment and lower back onto stem. Secure into place with setscrews.

8. Remove aerator from spout, turn on water supply, and flush valves until water is clear. Check
for leaks and make any final adjustments required. Re-attach aerator to the spout.

Important:

1. If the cold block of the diverter assembly is installed on the hot side of the faucet, the faucet
will have no flow.

2. Faucet can operate without side spray by replacing the side spray connection to cold block
with 1/4-18 NPMS or 1/4-18 NPT thread cap.
