Installation Steps

A. For Wall-Mounted Faucets

Step 1: Turn Off Water Supply
Shut off the hot and cold water valves and open nearby faucets to release residual pressure.

Step 2: Prepare Water Lines
Ensure that wall outlets for hot and cold water align with your faucet’s inlets. Make any plumbing adjustments before mounting.

Step 3: Install Mounting Hardware
Mark and drill holes on the wall. Use provided anchors or screws to mount the support plate.

Step 4: Connect Supply Lines
Wrap threaded pipe connections with plumber’s tape. Attach hot and cold lines securely to the faucet valve inlets.

Step 5: Mount the Faucet Body
Secure the faucet spout and handles onto the mounted base. Use a wrench to tighten connections, do not overtighten.

Step 6: Seal and Finish
Apply silicone sealant around base fittings for waterproof integrity. Let it cure as recommended.

Step 7: Turn On Water and Test
Open the main water valves. Check for leaks and test water temperature control.

B. For Counter-Mounted Faucets

Step 1: Turn Off Water Supply
Shut off both water valves under the sink. Open the faucet to drain any remaining water.

Step 2: Position Faucet and Handles
Insert the faucet spout and handle through the pre-drilled holes on the countertop or sink deck.

Step 3: Secure from Beneath
From below the sink, use mounting nuts and washers to hold the faucet components in place.

Step 4: Connect Water Supply Lines
Use plumber’s tape on all threaded joints. Attach the hot and cold lines to their respective valves using flexible connectors.

Step 5: Seal the Base
Apply plumber’s putty or silicone around the faucet base (if required) to prevent leaks.

Step 6: Turn On Water and Inspect
Restore water supply and test for steady flow, correct temperature, and tight seals.

Important Tips

• Always verify thread compatibility (BSP vs. NPT). Use an adapter where needed.
• If unsure about your plumbing system, consult a licensed plumber.
• Clean aerators periodically for optimal water flow.
• For outdoor wall applications, ensure frost protection in colder climates.
