Frequently Asked Questions - 5031 Sani-Lav

How do I install the Sani-Lav 5031 kitchen faucet sink?

Refer to the installation steps: mount the mixing check valve to the pedestal base, attach the bowl, mark and drill floor holes, install the spout and connecting tubes, then connect water and waste lines. Finally flush the system for 30 seconds before use.

What cleaning products can I use on the stainless steel sink?

Use an abrasive cleaner like Bon-Ami or Zud weekly or bi-weekly. Alternatively, baking soda works. Always scrub in the direction of the grain and rinse thoroughly with hot water.

How do I repair a dripping spout or valve?

If water drips from the spout, the flat washer on the stem/plunger may be worn. Determine if it's hot or cold side by shutting off one supply. Replace with a valve repair kit. If leaking from the front, O-rings on the plunger are worn; replace the threaded insert, plunger assembly, and spring.

Is the Sani-Lav 5031 lead-free?

You will need a tape measure, adjustable wrench, drill motor and bits, pipe wrench, level, safety glasses, screwdrivers (Phillips and standard), pencil, and socket wrench.

Can I use harsh chemicals in this sink?

No, Columbia does not recommend use with harsh chemicals. Avoid abrasive scouring pads, carbon steel brushes, and steel wool. Also avoid oily rags and mixing cleaners.

Trouble Shooting Guide

Problem Possible Cause	To Diagnose Remedy
Water drips from spout or valve stem assembly.	Flat washer on the stem/plunger is worn.	To determine if the leak source is from the hot or cold side shut cold water source off. See if water still leaks from the spout. If leak continues then repair hot side if not repair cold side.	We recommend installing valve repair kit.

Care and Maintenance

Regular cleaning will preserve the appearance and integrity of the surface. Stainless steel can easily be cleaned and kept stain-free using various methods.

Recommendations:

• Clean with an abrasive cleaner like, Bon-Ami or Zud weekly or bi-weekly. Always scrub in the direction of the grain or polish lines. Another option is to use Baking soda. Make sure to rinse well and dry. Illustration A
• Most soaps and detergents contain chlorides, we recommend rinsing the stainless-steel sink with hot water after use, to prevent corrosion. Illustration B
  • Regularly dry your sink to prevent water and surface rust marks. Illustration C
• Do not leave salt in the sink or near a saltwater environment.
• Use a quality stainless steel cleaner and follow cleaner instructions. Wipe along the grain (NOT against). Illustration D

Things to Avoid:

• Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners and corrosive chemicals.
• Avoid abrasive scouring pads, carbon steel brushes and steel wool for cleaning as iron particles left behind can lead to rust.
• Avoid the use of oily rags or greasy cloths when wiping the surface. To avoid water spots, wipe dry after use.

Additional Tips:

• Regularly drying your sink works wonders to prevent water and surface rust marks.

- Wear rubber gloves when working with cleaners to protect your hands.

- Never mix cleaners. Some products react to create dangerous gases.

- There are thousands of blended or compound cleaners on the market. Users are advised to contact suppliers of solvents for information on their applications on stainless steel.

• DO NOT USE SOLVENTS in closed spaces or while smoking.

• Note: Columbia does not recommend use with harsh chemicals.
