Bathroom Faucet Assembly
- 1). Apply a bead of silicone caulk to the sink in the location that the faucet is to be installed.
- 2). Insert the gasket included with the faucet onto the tailpieces on the bottom of the sink.
- 3). Insert the tailpieces into the holes of the sink.
- 4). Install the basin nuts on the bottom of the tail pieces from underneath the sink. Alternate between the two tail pieces, turning each nut one revolution by hand to ensure that the faucet is installed evenly. Leave the nuts loose and then adjust the faucet to center it over the sink.
- 5). Tighten the basin nuts completely using the basin wrench until snug.
- 6). Install the faucet handles if necessary. To install, screw the handles into the base, or align the screw holes on the handles with the screw holes on the faucet and secure using the mounting screws included with the assembly.
- 7). Wrap the two tail pieces clockwise with plumber's tape.
- 8). Connect the hot water supply line to the hot water tailpiece and tighten using an adjustable wrench.
- 9). Connect the cold water supply line to the cold water tailpiece and tighten using an adjustable wrench.
