Do you have a question about the Danze D304658 and is the answer not in the manual?

This document describes the Danze Two Handle Mini-Widespread Lavatory Faucet, a fixture designed for bathroom sinks. The manual provides comprehensive instructions for installation, usage, maintenance, and troubleshooting, ensuring a long-lasting and trouble-free experience.

Function Description

The Danze Two Handle Mini-Widespread Lavatory Faucet is a water delivery system for bathroom sinks, featuring two handles for controlling hot and cold water flow and a central spout. Its mini-widespread design allows for flexible installation with separate hot and cold water handles and a spout. The faucet is designed to provide a steady stream of water for washing hands and other lavatory tasks.

Important Technical Specifications

The faucet includes several components for its operation and installation:

Spout: The main water outlet.
Handles: Two separate handles for hot and cold water control.
Mounting Hardware: Includes a rubber washer, metal washer, and lock nut for secure installation to the sink.
Water Supply Hoses: Flexible hoses connect the faucet to the hot and cold water supply lines.
Quick Connect Hose Assembly: Facilitates easy connection between the faucet body and the spray hose (if applicable).
Cartridge: Ceramic cartridge for controlling water flow and temperature.
Aerator: Located at the end of the spout, it mixes air with water to produce a smooth, splash-free stream.
Drain Assembly: A separate component, the Danze Touch Down Drain, is also detailed, available in metal (50/50) and plastic versions. This drain allows for water to be retained or released from the sink basin.

The manual specifies the use of a 1-1/2" diameter mounting hole in the deck for installation. The faucet is designed for standard plumbing connections.

Usage Features

Installation: The installation process is detailed in several steps, emphasizing safety and proper connection:

Preparation: Shut off the main water supply before installation. Clear the area under the sink.
Faucet Body Installation: Apply silicone sealant around the base of the spout trim ring and insert the spout into the 1-1/2" diameter mounting hole. Secure it from underneath with the rubber washer, metal washer, and lock nut.
Handle Installation: Insert the hot and cold handles into their respective holes, securing them with the provided hardware. Ensure the handles are horizontally aligned when completely closed.
Water Supply Connections: Connect the hot and cold water supply hoses to the faucet body. Apply pipe tape to the threaded connections.
Quick Connect Hose Assembly: For models with a spray hose, connect the quick connect hose assembly to the faucet body. Ensure a "click" is heard for a secure connection.
Water Inlet Connections: Connect the water supply hoses to the water inlet ports, tightening with a wrench. Apply pipe tape to the threads.
Flush Debris: After installation, remove the aerator and open the hot and cold water supplies to flush any debris from the faucet. Close the handles and reassemble the aerator.

Drain Assembly Installation (Danze Touch Down Drain): The drain assembly involves several steps:

Disassembly: Remove the rubber washer and lock nut from the drain assembly.
Drain Body Installation: Apply silicone sealant beneath the lip of the drain body and place it in the opening of the sink. Press down firmly to secure the drain collar. For plastic versions, ensure the tapered seal is placed correctly.
Secure Drain: Tighten the rubber washer and lock nut onto the drain collar from underneath the sink.

Operation: Once installed, the faucet is operated by turning the hot and cold water handles to control the flow and temperature of water. The drain is operated by pressing down on the stopper to close it and pressing again to open it.

Maintenance Features

General Maintenance:

Cleaning: The faucet is designed for years of trouble-free performance. Keep it looking new by cleaning it periodically with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, and harsh chemicals as these will dull the finish and void the warranty.
Leak Prevention: Regularly check for leaks under the sink.

Ceramic Cartridge Replacement: If the faucet experiences issues such as continuous dripping or difficulty controlling water flow, the ceramic cartridge may need replacement.

Preparation: Shut off the main water supply before cleaning the adapter.
Remove Handle: Remove the handle assembly.
Remove Sleeve Wrench: Use the sleeve wrench (special tool available from Danze customer service) to remove the cartridge from the valve body.
Install New Cartridge: Install the new cartridge into the valve body, following the reverse steps of removal.

Troubleshooting: The manual includes a troubleshooting guide for common issues:

Leaks underneath handle:
- Cause: Lock nut or trim cap has come loose.
- Action: Tighten the lock nut or trim cap.
Water will not shut off completely:
- Cause: Dirty or worn out plastic washer in the cartridge, or damaged/dirty ceramic cartridge.
- Action: Remove handle and cartridge to check if ceramic disk is permanently damaged or dirty. Re-install cartridge or replace it.
