stem bolt in the order listed:
      • Slotted Washer (Item B)

      • Lock Washer (Item D) 
      • Locking Nut (Item E)
Step 3 - Tighten the Locking Nut onto stem bolt with wrench
Step 4 -   Locate the blue 1/4” tube included with the faucet or the 
existing tube from your water ltering system. Place the 
compression nut (Item H) on to the blue tube rst, then 
slide the sleeve (Item G) and then insert the plastic insert 
(Item F) as shown in the gure to the right.

NOTICE
The 3/8” black tube must be as SHORT and STRAIGHT as 
possible. Make sure there is a downward slope with no low spots 
between this line and the drain. Leaving this line too long or with low 
spots can lead to water building up and leaking out of the air gap of 
the faucet
