GETTING STARTED
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
We recommend consulting a professional if you are
unfamiliar with installing plumbing fixtures. Signature
Hardware accepts no liability for any damage to the
faucet, plumbing, sink, counter top, or for personal injury
during installation.
Observe all local plumbing and building codes.
Unpack and inspect the faucet for shipping damage. If
any damage is found, contact our Customer Relations
team at 1-866-855-2284.
Ensure that you have gathered all the required
materials that are needed for the installation.
For these instructions, it is assumed that the old
faucet has been completely removed and any
necessary repairs or modifications to the water
supply have been completed.

3. Insert the faucet into its prepared mounting hole.
1. Ensure that the water supply below your sink is
completely shut off by turning the shutoff valves all the
way to the right.
Tip: Place a small bucket below your workspace to
catch any water that may drip during the installation
process.
2. Remove the lock nuts from the threaded mounting
posts, then attach the mounting posts to the faucet
body. Tighten firmly using a Phillip’s screwdriver.

5. Apply plumber’s tape or thread sealant to the
threading on each of the faucet’s water lines, then
connect them to the main water supply. Use an
adjustable wrench to tighten, but be careful not to
overtighten. Ensure that you are connecting the hot
and cold lines appropriately.

6. Proceed to the drain installation. Once complete,
remove the aerator from the spout and turn the faucet
on for approximately 60 seconds to remove any dust or
loose sediment from the water lines. Ensure that there
are no leaks, and that both hot and cold water are
running properly. Turn the water off and reattach the
aerator.
5. Once installation is complete, turn the main water
supply back on from underneath your sink. Check for
any leaks underneath.

of your sink’s drain hole.

tighten until secure, then finish tightening with a basin
wrench once the drain is properly aligned.
Important: Be careful not to overtighten, which could
crack a porcelain sink or stone countertop.
5. From under your counter, slide the tapered rubber
gasket followed by the plastic friction washer onto the
tailpiece until they meet your sink or countertop. Be
sure that the tapered side of the rubber washer is
facing up.
