WIDESPREAD FAUCET INSTALLATION
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
We recommend consulting a professional if you are
unfamiliar with installing plumbing fixtures.
Observe all local plumbing and building codes.
GETTING STARTED
Ensure that you have gathered all the required
materials that are needed for the installation.
For these instructions, it is assumed that the old
faucet has been completely removed and any
necessary repairs or modifications to the water
supply have been completed.
INSTALLATION
1. Ensure that the water supply below your sink is
completely shut off by turning the shutoff valves all the
way to the right.
Tip: Place a small bucket below your workspace to
catch any water that may drip during the installation
process.
OFF
2. Remove the T-connector, lock nut, and rubber
washer from the spout body. Set the spout into the
center faucet hole.

spout and secure using the lock nut. Hand tighten the
lock nut, then use a basin wrench to finish tightening.

waasher from the valve stem labeled ‘cold.’ Insert the
stem into the faucet hole on the right.
5. From under the counter, slide the rubber washer back
onto the valve stem followed by the metal washer.
Secure to the counter by hand- tightening the lock nut.
Finish securing by tightening the screws on the lock nut
