-- STEP 2: INSTALL DRAIN ADAPTER --
J Note: Running the drain tubing directly to a floor
drain, sump, standpipe, laundry tub, etc., as shown
on page 18, is preferred. However, if that is not pos-
sible or practical, the included drain adapter installs
in the sink drain pipe, always above or ahead of the
p-trap (FIG. 4). Be sure to comply with your local
plumbing codes. Other drain pipe fittings, in addi-
tion to the adapter, may be needed.
J The drain adapter fits 1-1/2 sink drain pipe.
J The adapter installs directly onto the sink tailpiece
as typically shown in FIG. 4 and 5.
J Locate so drain tubing from the faucet (installed in
step 1, page 8) makes a straight run to the adapter,
without dips, loops, low spots or kinks.
Note: Consult a plumber if you are not familiar
with plumbing procedures.
1. Use a ferrule and nut to assemble the drain tubing
connector to the drain adapter (FIG. 5). Turn the con-
nector to about 45_ from the 12:00 position, as shown
(to 10:00 or 2:00 position as needed). Tighten the nut
securely.
2. Carefully disassemble the sink drain pipe and
clean the tailpiece to assure a leak-tight fit.
3. Install the drain adapter onto the sink tailpiece,
using a ferrule and nut. Snug the nut, but do not
tighten.
Note: If needed, to make fit, you can cut to shorten
the unthreaded end of the adapter. Do not cut too
shortso the adapter will make a leak-tightsealwith
the connecting fitting.
4. Assemble the p-trap to the drain adapter, and oth-
er drain pipe fittings as required (check codes) to
complete the drain run.
5.Tighten all connections,butdonotovertightenand

-- STEP 3: INSTALL FAUCET --
A. PREPARE MOUNTING HOLE
1. Select 1 of the following places for the faucet. Be
sure it will fit flat against the surface, and there is
space underneath for tubing (see FIG. 8, page 8).
' Use an existing sink top hole for a spray hose or
other faucet. A 1to 1-1/4diameter hole is need-
ed.
' Drill a new hole in the countertop next to the
sink.
' Drill a new hole in the sink top.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging a sink beyond re-
pair, consult a qualified plumber or installer for
guides to drill holes in porcelain or stainless steel.
2. If drilling is needed, make the 1to 1-1/4diame-
ter hole.
3. Place plumbers putty around the drilled hole(FIG.
6) to prevent water leakage around the base of the
faucet.
