Peerless Faucets Instructions

Installing a new faucet can add a whole new look to any room.

Whether you need to replace a worn or broken faucet, or you simply wish a newer design, Peerless produces a variety of styles of kitchen, bath and laundry faucets with different finishes. To make sure you shop for the correct type of faucet, count the number of holes in your sink. Most Peerless faucets are available in three or four-hole varieties.

Things You'll Need

• Standard wrench
• Screwdriver
• Water supply hook-ups

Instructions

1. Remove the old faucet, if you are replacing an existing faucet. Make sure to turn off the water supply at the sink shut-off valve before removing the old faucet. Disconnect the old water lines, and loosen and remove the spout and handles by loosening the nuts that hold these parts in place with a standard wrench.

2. Slide the hot and cold end valves and corresponding gaskets through the mounting holes in the sink. Fasten washers and threaded brackets to the end valves by hand. Secure the brackets in place by tightening the screws into the brackets with a screwdriver.

3. Place the spout and the corresponding gasket into the sink mounting hole. Fasten the spout with the provided bracket and nut, and tighten with a standard wrench.

4. Connect the water hoses from the bottom of the end valves to the bottom of the spout by aligning the tabs on the quick connects of the water hoses. Snap them together by pushing upward until the quick connects snap into the receiving tube. Lightly pull on the tubes to make sure they snapped together securely.

5. Connect the end valves to the water supply by connecting one end of the braided stainless steel hook-ups, which you purchase separately, to the water supply and the other end to the faucet water lines. Tighten the connector ends with a standard wrench.

6. Turn the water supply back on at the sink and remove the aerator from underneath the head of the spout. Turn the water on at the valves. This will flush out any impurities in the lines. Check for leaks at all connection points of the faucet.

7. Replace the aerator once you have flushed out the system after allowing the water to run for at least a minute.

Tips & Warnings

• Place a towel underneath the faucet to protect the surface from any water that leaks from removing the faucet.
