▪ Install the faucet
Drill a hole on the countertop if there is not one available.
1. Choose a suitable location on the sink or countertop and install the faucet on a flat surface
as shown in the image below. You will need to drill an 1" hole (no larger than 1 1/2") if
your kitchen sink does not have an existing one.
► How to drill a 1" hole in your sink or counter-top
a. Depending on the type and thickness of countertop where the hole is going to be drilled on, you may
consider hiring an experienced professional to ensure the hole is drilled correctly.
b. Choose a half inch Diamond Core Bit for granite, and a titanium drill bit for steel. Do NOT use a
hammer drill on natural stone, glass, and ceramic.
c. An indent should be made with a punch on steel before drilling to help guide the bit.
d. Use caution when drilling on a Porcelain sink, as it could be easily chipped. Set drill speed on slow.
Press the bit downward firmly until breaking through the slippery surface. Some people found it is
easier to secure the bit by drilling through a piece of wood that is firmly pressed on the surface.
e. Use coolant to disperse heat. Choose water for granite, and oil for steel. Use the Water Suction Cup
to hold coolant inside and prevent the drill bit from slipping.
f. Starting at slowest speed, hold the drill firmly and vertically and prevent the drill bit from slipping
on the counter.
