Installation Instructions for the Denovo Majestic Pull-Out Chrome Kitchen Faucet

Innovations in kitchen faucets include the pull-out spout.

Kitchen faucets have come a long way from two spouts hanging over a bucket, and Denovo Faucets are prime examples. Installing a kitchen faucet, however, is still the same because they all connect to cold and hot water supply lines under the sink. Most modern kitchen faucets include a sprayer attachment that also connects under the sink. Pull-out faucets place the sprayer at the end of the spout instead of off to one side like other faucets do. One other aspect of the pull-out faucet is the addition of a weight on the sprayer water line to retract the sprayer when not in use.

Things You'll Need

• 3/8-inch wrench
• Thread sealer tape (optional)
• Water supply lines

Instructions

1. Turn the water supply valves off. Remove the old kitchen faucet waterlines from the shutoff valves using a 3/8-inch wrench. Remove the nuts holding the faucet to the sink and pull the faucet out from the topside of the sink.

2. Insert the setscrew in the hold on the front of the Denovo faucet handle. Place the handle on the faucet and tighten the setscrew with the tool provided with the sink.

3. Secure the water supply lines to the faucet using a 3/8-inch wrench. Slip the rubber seal over the ends of the supply lines and push it up against the faucet. If the sink comes with an escutcheon plate, install it now as well.

4. Slip the water supply lines through the opening in the sink. Thread all the washers over the water supply lines along with the nut used to secure the faucet to the sink. Secure the Denovo faucet to the sink.

5. Connect the water supply lines to the shutoff valves. Be certain to connect the water supply lines to the correct shutoff valve. Connect the spray hose line to the remaining water line coming from the faucet.

6. Measure down the spray hose from the bottom of the sink and mark it at 15 inches. Install the weight in this location using a screwdriver.

7. Turn the water supply valves on. Remove the aerator from the end of the sprayer and turn the water on to flush out the lines. Replace the aerator when the water is running smoothly.

Tips & Warnings

• Wrap the threads of the water supply shutoff valves with thread sealing tape if needed.

• Adjust the weight on the pull-out sprayer line if the spray handle won't retract all the way.

• Turn the circuit breaker off controlling the electricity to the receptacle located under the sink.
