Installation and Service Instructions
Installation
Caution: Be sure to turn off hot and cold water supplies
before installing or servicing faucet.
1.
Loosely install the anchor bar (KN-23), spacer (KN-26) and
nut (L-36) on the mounting bolts and place gasket on base
of faucet. Push faucet supplies and anchor bolt/spacer/nut
assemblies with gasket through holes in sink. Secure faucet
to sink by tightening nuts from underside. (If sink or coun-
ter surface is uneven, use putty or sealant to make proper
seal under base.)
2. Connect hot supply to left tube and cold supply to right
tube using appropriate connectors.
3. Pop-up drain installation:
a) Remove pop-up plug, tail piece and flange from the drain
body. Make sure that locknut is threaded all the way
down onto the body with flat friction washer in middle
and beveled washer on top.
b) Apply plumbers putty or sealant to bottom of flange.
c) Install drain body through drain opening in lavatory
and screw flange onto the drain body making sure that
the threads are completely engaged for proper sealing
and strength of the connection. Apply joint compound
to all threaded parts to insure proper seal. Apply putty or
teflon tape to tail piece before attaching to drain body.
d) Tighten locknut to compress the beveled flange evenly
across the bottom of the drain opening taking care not to
over tighten the locknut, causing damage to the lavatory.
e) Remove one of two ball washers from inside the
threaded cavity. Insert pop-up plug and pivot rod into
body. Add one ball washer (the second ball washer
should remain inside the body) to the outside of the ball.
Tighten the retaining nut until the ball is seated on the
internal and external ball washers.
Note: The pop-up plug can be installed either in the remov-
able or non-removable position, depending on the location
of the hole located in the guide at the bottom of the plug.
f) Slide the pivot rod through one side of the spring clip,
then the appropriate adjustment hole and then other
side of the spring clip.
g) Insert lift rod through faucet housing and the top of the
lift strap and secure it in place by tightening the screw.
Note: To ensure proper operation of lift rod and pop-
up, some adjustment of the linkage may be required.
There are two possible adjustment points: 1) lift strap to
lift rod and 2) lift strap to pivot rod.
4. It is very important to thoroughly flush the supply lines to
prevent foreign matter, i.e. copper chips, sand, stones, etc.
from damaging the sealing surfaces of cartridge.
