This faucet ships with a (WHITE)1.8 GPM
flow restrictor installed. An optional
(BLACK) 2.2 GPM flow restrictor is also
included in the box.
Flow Rate Modification:
1. Disconnect the quick connect (2) and
unthread the (1-WHITE) flow restrictor
2. Replace with the 1.8 GPM restrictor
(1-WHITE) with the 2.2 GPM restrictor
(1-BLACK).
3. Reinstall the quick connect assembly.
Pull the hose assembly out of the spout and
remove the spray head (A) by unscrewing it
from the hose in a counterclockwise direction.
Be sure to hold the end of the hose down into
the sink and turn the faucet on to the warm
position where it mixes hot and cold water.
Flush the water lines for one minute. This
Fushesaway any debris that could cause
damage to internal parts. Check for leaks.
Re-tighten any connections if necessary, but
do not overtighten. Reinstall the spray head (A)
by hand tightening it back onto the spray
hose.
After installation is completed, turn on the
hot and cold water supplies. Check for leaks.
NOTE: In compliance with CEC standards, this faucet is designed with a 1.8 gpm flow
rate. At your discretion, you may modify the product with the included 2.2 gpm
restrictor. Please note that doing so will remove the capability of this product to meet
specific low-flow standards. Kraus is not liable for any alterations made to the product
post-sale, and highly advises that you consult with your local or statewide plumbing
enforcement agency prior to any modification.
