(Diagram A)  \n From under the sink, thread the plastic mounting nuts onto the faucet shanks. Be sure the large side of each plastic mounting nut is up. (Diagram B)  \n From the top of the sink, check the faucet and gasket position. (Diagram C)  \n From under the sink tighten the mounting nuts, making certain not to over-tighten which could damage the nuts and make them difficult to remove in the future. (Diagram D)  \nWater is typically supplied to the faucet through water-supply tubes.  \n Wrap the threads of the water-supply valve with plumber tape. Although most plumbers use only plumber tape, some plumbing supply manufacturers also recommend using plumber's putty. (Diagram A)  \n Thread the water supply nut onto the shut-off valve. Tighten the nut with a wrench. (Diagram B)  \n open in browser  PRO version  Are you a developer?

(Diagram C)  \n Tighten the nut with a basin wrench. (Diagram D)  \nFrom the top of the sink, insert the lift-rod into the faucet. (Diagram A)  \n From under the sink, make sure the pivot-rod is in the down position. Insert the lift-rod into the lift-rod strap. Tighten the screw.  \n From the top of the sink, make sure the lift-rod opens and closes the drain plug as desired. (Diagram B)  \n Make any needed adjustments by loosening the lift-rod strap screw and repositioning the lift-rod.  \n If you need to connect the lift-rod strap to the pivot rod, slide one end of the spring clip onto the pivot-rod.  \n Make sure that both the pivot-rod and the lift-rod are in the down posittion. Insert the pivot-rod in the closest hole in the lift-rodstrap.  \n Slide the other end of the pivot-rod. Make sure the lift-rod opens and closes the drain plug as desired.  \n Make minor adjustments by loosening the lift-rod strap screw and repositioning the lift-rod. (Diagram C)  \n Make major adjustments by removing the spring clip and moving the pivot-rod to a different hole in the lift-rod strap.  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n\n open in browser  PRO version  Are you a developer?

(Diagram A)  \n Open both water supply valves under the sink. (Diagram B)  \n Allow the water to run for 15 seconds. (Diagram C)  \n Close the faucet handles (turn off) .  \n Make sure any debris is cleaned from the aerator screen. (Diagram D)  \n Replace the aerator.
