Step 4. Install the Sink Faucet
Too
ls required for this step: An electric drill, a 5/8” carbide bit, a small adjustable wrench, a center
punch, a pencil, a rat-tail file.
Your dealer will be able to supply a variety of designer faucets and finishes to suit your
particular installation, if you wish. Included in your system is a premier quality chrome
faucet that is compatible to most kitchen installations.
1. Examine the sink. If it has an existing hole for mounting a faucet, skip to Step 4. (6).
2. Locate and mark the spot you wish to install the faucet. Make sure it does not interfere
with operation of the main faucet and that there is clearance for plumbing and mounting
hardware directly below it under the sink or countertop. If you have a stainless sink, go to
Step 4. (5)
3. If you have a co
ncrete sink with a thickness of less than 1”, the faucet can be mounted
directly to sink. If the thickness exceeds 1”, the faucet must be mounted directly on the
countertop or a faucet with an extended shank must be used.
Tool substitution: Use a 5/8”
masonry bit to drill the concrete sink.
4. If you have a porcelain enamel or ceramic sink, it is strongly recommended that a
professional install the faucet to avoid chipping and damaging the sink finish.
5. Mark the spot chosen for the faucet hole with the pencil. Use the center punch to slightly
indent the spot (the center punch is unnecessary for concrete sinks). Use the 5/8” bit and
drill the hole. Use the rat-tail file to smooth any burrs or rough edges on the hole.
6. The sink faucet may now be assembled to the sink or countertop using the assembly
procedure shown in Figure 2.
7. Thread the faucet tube adapter on the faucet shank until snug, but DO NOT OVER
TIGHTEN. Do not attach the tube at this time.

If you have a V360 RO system, proceed to step 5. For all other V360 systems, proceed to step 7.
