(2) A minimum distance of 1 - 3 / 4^ (44mm) is required between the back of the spout and the wall to allow access to the screw. (3) A 1 - 1 / 8^ (29mm) maximum distance is required between the sink bowl edge and the base of the spout.

Determine the mounting hole location.
Drill a hole through the mounting surface according to the surface manufacturer's instructions.

Install the Facet

Install the stud to the underside of the faucet.
- Slide the gasket over the flexible hoses and stud, then seat the gasket in the groove on the underside of the spout.
