Grohe Ladylux Faucet Installation

Grohe Ladylux Faucet Installation


Installing a new Grohe Ladylux faucet is a project the average homeowner can complete with basic tools and a general knowledge of home repair. The process takes about an hour to complete. Updating your faucet with a new Ladylux model will add versatility to your kitchen, as the pull-down spray head offers extra maneuverability. If this is your first faucet installation, consult your owner's manual before attempting the install and follow the directions carefully.


Instructions


1. Turn the water off by closing hot and cold water valves in the sink cabinet.


2. Slide the O-ring over the hoses and onto the base of the faucet.


3. Feed the faucet hoses through the sink's mounting hole and into the cabinet area below it.


4. Attach the brace to the faucet by sliding it over the faucet hose, and slide the washer over the hose. Connect the nut to the hoses with the provided key. Place the key in the faucet hose and turn clockwise to connect it to the faucet. Connect the hoses to the water pipes by tightening the connectors.


5. Slide the sprayer hose through the faucet spout and place the bottom end of the hose through the faucet body. Connect the hose to the faucet body and press the spout into the body of the faucet.


6. Attach the sprayer head to the spray hose by pressing the fitting into the hose. From underneath the sink, slide the spring onto the hose and attach the coupling to the end of the hose and tighten it.


7. Install the cartridge in the side of the faucet by inserting it into the washer ring. Install the cartridge screws and adapter. Place the cover on and tighten it by hand.


8. Attach the handle on the cover and tighten the set screw with the Allen wrench to hold it on the faucet.
