Instructions for Giagni Giardino Faucets

Install a Giagni Giardino vessel faucet for a stylish addition to your bathroom.

The Giardino series of the Giagni solid brass vessel faucet comes in two finishes: polished chrome and satin nickel. You can find this faucet with its metal lever handle and non-swinging spout at home department stores and online at Faucet.com. When installing this faucet, the maximum counter thickness should be 1 1/2 inches and the diameter of the hole into which it is mounted should be between 1 3/8 to 1 3/4 inches. The faucet itself comes completely assembled so you will only need to install it into the sink or counter.

Things You'll Need

• Faucet body
• 15 inch braided stainless steel supply lines
• Grid drain
• Channel lock pliers or pipe wrench
• Basin wrench
• Small crescent wrench
• Allen key
• Teflon tape

Instructions

1. Remove the bottom lock nut, stainless steel washer and black rubber washer, all from the bottom of the faucet assembly.

2. Take the hot and cold water supply lines and push them through the counter top hole with the seal washer between the counter and the faucet body. You will not need to add any additional sealant to secure the body to the counter.

3. Slide the black rubber washer, the stainless steel washer and bottom lock nut back into place from underneath the counter top. Tighten the bottom lock nut. The hot water supply line, with the appropriate markings, should be on the left.

4. Secure the hot water supply line to the hot angle stop valve and the cold water supply line to the cold angle stop valve underneath the sink. Tighten the 3/8 inch compression nuts at the ends of the two water supply lines with an Allen key and do not overtighten.

5. Install the grid drain by first removing the bottom lock nut, the flat white washer, the black tapered washer and unscrewing the tailpiece of the grid drain. Install the grid body along with the silicone washer through the top of the sink. From under the sink, slide back the black washer, the white washer and tighten the bottom lock nut, but not too tightly. Apply Teflon tape to the top threads of the tailpiece and screw into the bottom threads of the drain body and tighten.

6. Unscrew the aerator, cartridge and washer from the mouth of the faucet and open the hot and cold angle stops from under the sink. Turn on the faucet, moving the handle from hot to cold. Leave the water on for at least two minutes to flush out any debris.

7. Replace the aerator and other components and turn on the water again, checking for leaks.

8. Clean the assembly with a soft cloth and mild dishwashing detergent.
