This intuitive setup reduces wear on internal seals while giving you instant control over your water flow.
Installation Guide
Turn off the main water supply under the sink before beginning any installation work.
Mount the single hole faucet securely onto your deck surface using the provided hardware.
Connect hot and cold supply lines to the corresponding inlets, ensuring all connections are hand-tightened before a final gentle turn with a wrench.
Test the pop-up waste mechanism to ensure smooth opening and closing of the drain stopper.
Flush the lines by running water for one minute to clear out any residual debris.
Care & Maintenance

Wood Maintenance Keep the cherry wood handle dry after heavy splashes to preserve its natural grain and finish over time.
Aerator Check Unscrew and clean the spout aerator every few months to remove mineral deposits and maintain a steady 1.2 flow rate.
