How to Install Your Owofan Faucet: A Step-by-Step Guide
Installing an Owofan faucet can enhance both the functionality and look of your kitchen or bathroom. This guide will walk you through the installation process to help you achieve a successful setup with minimal hassle. Plus, we’ll cover the steps to install the batteries if your faucet has touch or sensor functions.
Tools Needed for Installation
- Adjustable wrench
- Phillips screwdriver
- Plumber’s tape
- Bucket or towel (to catch any residual water)
Step-by-Step Faucet Installation
- Prepare the Sink Area
Begin by turning off the water supply. Typically, there are two shut-off valves under the sink—one for hot water and one for cold. Turn these clockwise to shut off the water. Place a bucket or towel beneath the area to catch any water remaining in the lines. - Remove the Old Faucet
Use an adjustable wrench to disconnect the water lines from the old faucet. Next, loosen and remove any mounting nuts that secure the faucet to the sink. Carefully remove the old faucet, ensuring all parts are detached. - Install the New Owofan Faucet
- Insert the faucet’s supply hoses and shank through the mounting hole on your sink.
- Make sure the faucet is correctly positioned, with the handle facing the desired direction.
- Slide the mounting hardware onto the shank underneath the sink, and secure it by tightening the mounting nut. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench for a secure fit.
- Connect the Water Supply Lines
Attach the hot and cold water supply lines to the respective shut-off valves. Use plumber’s tape around the threads for a leak-proof seal. Tighten the connections with a wrench, but avoid overtightening, as this could damage the fittings. - Test for Leaks
Turn on the water supply valves and let the water run to check for leaks. Tighten any connections if necessary. Allow the water to flow for a few minutes to clear out any debris in the lines.
Battery Installation for Touch/Sensor-Activated Owofan Faucets
For touch or motion-sensor models, you’ll need to install batteries in the control box to power these functions.
- Locate the Control Box
The control box is typically located beneath the sink, near the water supply lines. Find the cover on the battery pack section of the control box. - Remove the Battery Pack Cover
Carefully remove the cover of the battery pack to access the battery compartment. Take out the battery pack, if necessary, to insert the batteries. - Insert 4 AA Batteries
Insert four AA batteries into the battery pack, ensuring they are oriented correctly according to the positive (+) and negative (–) terminals. - Replace the Battery Pack and Cover
Place the battery pack back in the control box and secure the cover firmly. This will activate the touch or sensor functions of your faucet.
Final Steps
After installation, test all faucet features, including touch or sensor activation if applicable. Make sure the water pressure is consistent, and check once more for any signs of leakage around the supply lines or mounting area.
With these steps, your new Owofan faucet should be fully installed and ready to use, providing a modern touch to your kitchen or bathroom. Enjoy your updated space and the convenience of your new faucet!
