Understanding Ceramic Disc Cartridge Technology
At the heart of the KIBI Tender-T faucet is a precision ceramic disc cartridge, a component designed to replace traditional rubber washers that degrade over time. Think of it like a pair of exceptionally hard, polished ceramic plates that glide smoothly past one another to regulate water flow; when you move the lever, these plates align or seal against each other. This tight ceramic seal prevents water from leaking through when the faucet is closed, ensuring that you will not have to deal with annoying drips or constant washer replacements down the road.
Installation Guide
Shut off the main water supply valves beneath the sink before beginning any installation work.
Mount the faucet securely onto a single hole deck surface using the provided hardware and flexible supply hoses.
Connect the 24 inch supply lines to your hot and cold water shut off valves, ensuring all connections are hand tight plus a quarter turn with a wrench.
Install the included pop up drain assembly into your basin, applying plumber putty or silicone sealant as needed to prevent leaks.
Turn the water supply back on slowly and test the single lever handle through its full range of motion.
Care & Maintenance
Routine Wiping Wipe the faucet surface down daily with a soft, damp microfiber cloth to prevent water spots and soap residue buildup.
Gentle Cleansing Use mild soap and warm water for regular cleaning, avoiding abrasive scouring pads that can scratch the finish.
Chemical Avoidance Never use harsh chemical solvents, bleach, or acidic cleaners, as these can damage the brass exterior finish.
Aerator Maintenance Unscrew the spout tip periodically to clean out any mineral deposits or debris that may affect the 1.2 flow rate.
Drain Care Clean the pop up drain stopper regularly to prevent hair and soap scum accumulation from slowing down drainage.
