This document provides installation, usage, and maintenance instructions for an AquaVista Bathroom Faucet with Pop-Up Drain Assembly.

Function Description:

The AquaVista Bathroom Faucet is a two-handle faucet designed for use in residential bathrooms. It includes a pop-up drain assembly for convenient basin drainage. The faucet is available in three finishes: polished chrome (15-B42WP-CH-AV), brushed nickel (15-B42WP-BN-AV), and polished brass (15-B42WP-PB-AV). The two lever handles control the flow of hot and cold water, with the degree of handle opening determining the water flow volume. Rotating the right handle forward provides cold water, while rotating the left handle forward provides hot water. Returning the handles to their original position stops the water flow.

Important Technical Specifications:

• Max. Flow Rate: 1.2 GPM (4.54 LPM) at 60 PSI.
• Compliance: ASME A112.18.1/CSA B125, NSF 61-9, IAPMO R&T compliant.
• Lead Content: Manufactured to include no more than 0.25% weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces.
• Cartridges: Washerless cartridges.
• Finishes: Polished chrome, brushed nickel, or polished brass.
• Total Weight: 1.95 lbs.
• Rough-in Dimensions:
  • Overall width: 9-1/4 inches.
  • Faucet body height (from counter to top of spout): 5-3/4 inches.
  • Spout reach: 4-1/4 inches.
  • Handle spacing (center-to-center): 4 inches.
  • Supply line connection: 1/2"-14NPSM-2A.
  • Minimum mounting hole diameter: 1-1/4 inches.

Usage Features:

The faucet features a two-handle design for precise control over water temperature and flow. The pop-up drain assembly is integrated into the system, allowing for easy opening and closing of the drain. The lift rod, located on the faucet body, controls the pop-up stopper. The installation process is detailed, including steps for securing the faucet to the sink, connecting water supply lines, and assembling the pop-up drain. The manual emphasizes hand-tightening connector nuts to avoid overtightening, which can reduce system integrity. Prior to initial use, it is recommended to remove the aerator, turn on both hot and cold water for at least one minute to flush out any debris, and then reattach the aerator.

Maintenance Features:

Routine cleaning is recommended using a soft cloth to prevent dulling of the finish. Abrasive cleaners, steel wool, and harsh chemicals should be avoided as they can damage the finish and void the warranty. The troubleshooting section provides solutions for common issues:

• Faucet leaks underneath handle: This can be caused by a loose bonnet or a dirty/twisted O-ring on the cartridge. Solutions include tightening the bonnet, inspecting and cleaning O-rings, or replacing the cartridge if damaged.
• Water does not completely shut off: This usually indicates a dirty, stuck, or broken rubber valve seat. The solution involves shutting off water, removing the cartridge assembly, inspecting and cleaning the rubber valve seat (ensuring the spring is correctly placed), or replacing the cartridge if worn/broken.
• Faucet leaks around aerator: This can be due to an incorrectly fitted, dirty, or improperly installed rubber packing inside the aerator. The fix involves removing the aerator, inspecting the rubber packing for flatness, and re-screwing the aerator tightly.
• Improper water pattern: This is typically caused by a dirty aerator or improperly installed small parts within it. The solution is to remove the aerator, gently flush out debris, and reinstall the small parts correctly according to the exploded diagram.

Replacement parts are available and can be ordered by contacting customer service. The manual includes a detailed list of replacement parts with their corresponding part numbers for each finish, such as handle hot/cold, screw, index buttons, bonnet, washer, bolt and cartridge, washer and spring, aerator assembly, mounting nut, lift knob and rod assembly, and pop-up drain assembly.

Safety Information:

• Always wear safety glasses when cutting or soldering water supply lines.
• Remove seats, cartridges, and washers before soldering joints to prevent voiding the warranty.
• Cover the drain during installation to prevent losing small parts.
• Turn off hot and cold water lines and release built-up pressure from the old faucet before beginning installation.

Warranty:

The product comes with a limited lifetime warranty to the original consumer purchaser, covering defects in material and workmanship under normal residential use. The distributor will provide repair parts or replace defective products. Damage from non-genuine parts, installation error, misuse, negligence, faulty maintenance, or non-compliance with local building codes is not covered. The warranty excludes labor charges, indirect/incidental/consequential damages, and is in lieu of all other warranties. Liability is limited to the purchase price of the defective product.
