Installation tools

We recommend that you use the following tools for the installation of your new faucet:

• Pliers
• Flashlight
• 5/8", 11/16" and 1" Open End Wrenches

For optimum performance of your new Bach Faucet, a minimum water pressure of 40 PSI is recommended.

Locate water supply inlets and shut off the water supply valves. These are usually found under the sink or near  the water meter. If you are replacing an existing faucet, remove the faucet from the sink and clean the sink surface thoroughly.

If your water supply tubes or valves have become damaged they may need to be replaced.  The parts needed can be obtained from any local home improvement retailer

Note: 

This installation guide is designed for sinks equipped with flexible water supply lines.   For your convenience we have included parts needed for installation to copper tube water supplies as well.  If you are uncertain how to install your faucet onto copper tubing, or for any other circumstances we recommend that you consult with a home improvement professional before proceeding.
