2. Selecting the Faucet Location
NOTE: The drinking water faucet should be positioned with function,
convenience, and appearance in mind. An adequate at area is required to
allow faucet base to rest securely. The faucet ts through a 3/4-inch hole.
Most sinks have pre-drilled 13⁄8-inch or 1
1
⁄2-inch diameter holes that may be
used for faucet installation. If these pre-drilled holes cannot be used or are
in an inconvenient location, it will be necessary to drill a 3/4-inch hole in
the sink to accommodate
the faucet.
This procedure may generate dust which can cause severe
irritation if inhaled or comes in contact with the eyes. The use of safety
glasses and respirator for this procedure is recommended.

through countertop next to sink.
When drilling through a countertop, make sure the area below the
drilled area is free of wiring and piping. Make certain that you have ample
room to make the proper connections to the bottom of the faucet.
