E. Set the punch and turn the nut with a wrench to cut the hole. Follow Greenlee instrucons.
Drilling a porcelain clad steel or cast-iron sink:
Cauon: Be careful when the drill is about to penetrate the base metal of the sink. Reduce the

A. Posion the faucet for customer convenience and then secure the faucet on the sink.
B. Assemble the faucet with all of the components (See Figure 12, for typical air-gap and non air-
gap faucet) pre-assembling both drain lines to the air-gap faucet.
C. Feed the assembled faucet and tubing through the hole in the sink and fasten it from under the
