Installation
Caution: Be sure to turn off hot and
cold water supplies before installing or
servicing faucet.
Step 1 If installing model with hose
and spray, install hose guide into hole
in sink (normally the far right hole on
four hole sink). From underneath sink
place washer then nut over hose guide
and secure to sink. Insert hose through
hose guide and up through middle hole
from le in sink. Place gasket on base of
escutcheon. From above sink attach hose
securely to nipple on base of faucet.
Step 2 Align faucet to sink by
matching underside arrow and letter
“F” on escutcheon with front of sink.
Without straightening copper supplies (if
equipped) insert through center hole of
sink. Secure faucet to sink by tightening
the anchor bar (KN-23), spacer (KN-
26) and nut (L-36) on the mounting
bolts from underside. (If sink surface
is uneven use putty or sealant to make
proper seal under base.)
Step 3 Carefully straighten copper
supplies (if equipped) to avoid kinking
tubing. Connect hot supply to le tube
and cold supply to right tube using
appropriate connectors.
Step 4 It is very important to
thoroughly ush the supply lines to
prevent foreign matter, i.e. copper chips,
sand, stones, etc. from damaging the
sealing surfaces of cartridge. Remove
aerator and turn valve handle on to full
cold position, open cold supply. Without
closing, turn handle to full hot and open
hot supply. Let water run in hot only and
cold only positions long enough to ush
supply lines thoroughly. If equipped with
a hose and spray, direct spray head into
sink and activate spray. Shut o faucet
and replace aerator. Check for leaks.
Step 5 e handle limit stop can
be set to limit handle turn to the hot
position. e limit mechanism is
factory set to allow full handle travel.
To adjust the limit stop, turn handle to
the full hot position and li handle to
open faucet approximately half way to
obtain a smooth ow for correct initial
temperature measurement.
Step 6 If when faucet is on and in full
hot position and water is too hot, shut
water o, remove plug button (KN-157),
loosen set screw (L-22) and remove
handle (KN-3RB or KN-3BRB), li
limit stop using a small at head screw
driver and rotate clockwise to lower
temperature. If water is not hot enough,
rotate counter clockwise (See Figure 1 on
reverse side). Aer correct temperature
is achieved, reattach handle, reversing
procedure above.
Cartridge Replacement (KN-4)
Step 1 Remove plug button (KN-157),
loosen set screw (L-22) and remove
handle (KN-3RB or KN-3BRB).
Step 2 Engage tabs in cartridge wrench
(LN-34) with slots in compression ring
(KN-2) and use screwdriver in wrench
holes or pliers on wrench and turn
counter clockwise until compression
ring engages with cap (KN-1). Continue
turning counter clockwise so that cap/
ring assembly is removed from the body
(KN-11).
Step 3 Remove cartridge and o-ring
seal (KN-4).
Step 4 Install new cartridge while
taking care to maintain position of the
o-ring seal at the base of the cartridge.
Match posts in base of cartridge with
alignment holes in adapter plate during
assembly.
Step 5 Reassemble faucet in reverse
fashion. Thread cap onto body firmly by
hand. Do not use a wrench which may
damage the finish. Tighten compression
ring (KN-2) finger tight using the wrench
(LN-34) then 1/4 to 1/2 turn further. Set
hot water limit stop in accordance with
installation step 6 above.
Diverter replacement (KN-169)
1. Follow cartridge replacement steps 1
through 5 above.
2. Remove retaining ring (K-44) with
3/8" hex key wrench.
3. Remove diverter and o-ring (K-46).
4. Grease diverter o-ring and install into
body.
5. Press diverter into o-ring and body.
6. Replace retaining ring.
