FAUCET INSTALLATION
1. How to install a Single-hole Faucet ?
Turn off water supply and purge pipes
Apply Teflon tape clockwise to supply lines
Insert through mounting hole, secure with base nut (torque: 25-30 ft-lbs)
Connect hoses to shutoff valves before final tightening
Verify horizontal alignment with bubble level (tolerance: ±1°)
![单孔 处理]( "单孔 处理")
2. How to install a Centerset Faucet ? (4" spread)
Mount faucet body on pre-drilled deck plate
Install rubber gaskets between escutcheon and countertop
Thread mounting bolts upward through sink (hand-tight + ¼ turn max)
Critical: Align hot/cold valves per manufacturer orientation
![4 inch]( "4 inch")
3. How to install a Widespread Faucet? (8-16" spread)
Verify hole spacing with template (tolerance: ±1mm)
Install separate valve bodies using brass mounting nuts
Connect supply lines with braided stainless hoses
Adjust flexible lines to prevent kinking (min. bend radius: 2")
![3孔 处理]( "3孔 处理")
4. How to install a pull-out Faucet?
Feed hose through faucet body before mounting
Install weight ring on hose to prevent retraction failure
Secure magnetic docking collar with set screws
Test spray head retraction 10x pre-use

![drop in]( "drop in")
2. How to install a Undermount a Sink?
Apply silicone to substrate and sink rim
Support with 1"×1" blocking at 8" intervals

Pro Tip: For stainless sinks, use non-abrasive cleaners to prevent chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking (SCC).
All procedures reflect UPC 2021 and NKBA 2024 installation protocols. Critical torque values align with SMA Guidelines Revision 7.2.
