Installation Tips

How to connect fittings?

1.    Fully insert tubing into fitting until the existing mask is not visible or sudden “click” is felt.

 If not fully inserted, no seal will be created and leakage will occur.

How to disconnect?

1.    Remove the blue clip from the fitting.(optional is some case)

2.    Use your thumb and index fitting to press down the lock sleeve.

3.    Use your other hand to pull the tubing out.

Do Not pull tubing directly. As it would damage fitting and cause leakage.

How to Drill a Hole into Your Sink/Countertop for Faucet?

If you have an existing 1" hole on your sink/countertop, no need to drill.

1.    Choose a diamond core bit for granite or a carbide drill bit for stainless steel. Do NOT use hammer drill on natural stone, glass, ceramic. Be careful when drilling through porcelain sink. (bit size: 1 inch, 1”)

2.    Mark your 1 inch diameter drill location on your sink/countertop with a marker pen.

3.    First slowly apply force with the drill bit edge at 45 degrees to the sink/countertop until the drill bit makes significant penetration.

4.    Then simultaneously drill and rotate the drill bit perpendicularly to the sink/countertop until fully break through.

5.    Once break through, swirl the drill to ensure even circular hole.

Also search on YouTube for visualized step by step instruction.
