This document describes the PROFLO Two-handle wall mount service sink faucet, Model PF1119, providing installation, usage, and maintenance instructions in English, Spanish, and French.
The PROFLO PF1119 is a two-handle wall-mount service sink faucet designed for utility and service applications. It features two handles for controlling hot and cold water flow, allowing for precise temperature adjustment. The wall-mount design ensures a clean and efficient installation, freeing up counter space around the sink. The faucet includes an integral stop assembly, which allows for individual shut-off of water flow to the faucet for maintenance without affecting the main water supply. It also incorporates a vacuum breaker assembly, which is a critical safety feature designed to prevent back-siphonage of contaminated water into the potable water supply, ensuring compliance with plumbing codes and protecting public health.
The faucet is designed for wall mounting, with specific dimensions for the water supply lines. The distance between the two outlets of the water supply lines should be 8 inches (203 mm). This measurement is crucial for proper installation and is achieved using two eccentric subassemblies (No. 10 in the installation diagrams) that allow for adjustment to meet the 8-inch distance. The faucet includes ceramic cartridge assemblies (No. 7 in the parts list) for durable and reliable operation of the handles. The overall assembly includes a spout (No. 3), coupling assembly (No. 5), and rubber washers (No. 6) for secure connections. The vacuum breaker cover kit (No. 1) and vacuum breaker assembly (No. 2) are integral components for backflow prevention. Hot and cold lever handle kits (No. 9 and No. 10 in the parts list, respectively) are provided for operation.
Installation: The installation process begins with ensuring the water supply is shut off. The distance between the water supply lines must be measured and adjusted to 8 inches using the eccentric subassemblies. The faucet components are then assembled in a specific sequence, starting with connecting the eccentric subassemblies to the water supply lines, followed by the main body of the faucet. The handles and spout are attached last. The manual emphasizes the importance of not overtightening connections to prevent damage. After installation, the water supply is turned on, and the faucet is checked for leaks.
Adjusting Built-in Stops: The faucet features built-in stops that allow for flow adjustment. To adjust, a screwdriver is inserted into the stop at the base of No. 1 on each side. Turning clockwise closes the stop, reducing water flow, while turning counter-clockwise opens the stop, increasing flow. This feature is useful for balancing water pressure or for maintenance without fully shutting off the main water supply.
Safety Precautions: The manual explicitly states "Do not use pipe wrenches" during installation, indicating that standard adjustable wrenches or pliers are sufficient and pipe wrenches could damage the finish or components. It also provides a "CAUTION-TIPS FOR REMOVAL OF OLD FAUCET" section, advising users to always turn off the water supply and open the faucet handles to relieve pressure before removing an existing faucet or replacing parts. This is a critical safety measure to prevent water damage and injury.
Care Instructions: To preserve the finish of the faucet, the manual recommends applying a non-abrasive wax, such as car wax. This helps protect the metallic surfaces from wear and corrosion. Any cleaners used on the faucet should be rinsed off immediately to prevent damage to the finish. The use of abrasive cleaners is strictly discouraged, as they can scratch or dull the surface. However, it notes that "soft abrasives are acceptable on platinum and LifeShine finishes," implying that the PF1119 may not have these specific finishes or that users should exercise caution.
Component Replacement: The detailed exploded view diagram and parts list (page 5) facilitate easy identification and ordering of replacement parts. This allows for straightforward maintenance and repair, extending the lifespan of the faucet. Key replaceable components include the ceramic cartridge assembly, rubber washer, spout, and handle kits. The integral stop assembly also allows for isolated maintenance of the faucet without impacting the entire plumbing system. The vacuum breaker assembly is also a replaceable component, ensuring the continued effectiveness of the backflow prevention mechanism.
