Mastering the Mechanics of Anti-Drip Dispensing
Soap dispensing often fails when residue builds up inside the spout, causing frustrating leaks and dried crusts. Think of it like a precision valve in a professional-grade espresso machine; when the internal chamber is engineered to exact tolerances, it creates a clean cutoff after every press. The brass mechanism inside this unit is specially treated to prevent internal buildup, ensuring that soap releases smoothly and stops instantly without messy post-drip trailing down the straight spout.
Installation Guide
Verify that your sink deck or countertop features a standard 1-3/8 inch drilled hole before beginning setup.
Insert the soap dispenser shank through the mounting hole from above the counter.
Secure the mounting hardware tightly from underneath the sink basin to prevent wobbling during use.
Attach the 10 fluid ounce fluid bottle to the threaded shank securely by hand.
Pour liquid dish soap directly into the top reservoir opening when refilling is needed.
Care & Maintenance
Wipe Daily Clean the satin dark steel finish regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove water spots.
Mild Soap Only Use mild liquid dish soap and warm water for routine cleaning, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners.
Avoid Abrasives Never use abrasive scrub pads, steel wool, or scouring powders that can scratch the protective finish.

Flush System Flush the internal pump with warm water if the unit will not be used for an extended period.
