How to connect a round-type faucet

1. First, separate the coupling device of the water supply hose from the hose.
If they are not separated, they may not be tightened completely and water may leak after assembly.

2. Turn the 4 screws on the coupling device anti-clockwise to loosen them adequately so that they fit the circumference of the faucet.
If the faucet is too big, pull out the guide plate (round white plastic) before loosening the screws.

3. Fit the coupling device to the faucet.
At this time, insert it until the door gasket inside the coupling device is in contact with the faucet.

4. Turn the 4 screws on the coupling device clockwise and tighten them fully.

5. Check the threads on the end of the water supply hose and the coupling device and turn the fitting clockwise to tighten the joint.
When the door gasket is reached, turn 1 or 2 rounds more to tighten firmly against the seal.
