Is the base with the handle supposed to turn left and right (with difficulty) on top of the sink hole cover base or extender or do I need to tighten the nut underneath a little more until the base does not turn at all? I am afraid that I may crush the...

It should be tight enough for it to be secure, but not much more than that. You have the right idea.

I pull the handle all the way up and turned the lower part of the handle below the blue ring until it felt tight. Hope this help

I am sorry to read that you are having problems. Mine was very easy to install with a full turn. The placement of the filter at the beginning has to be right, then twist & lock; maybe you should try priming it in your sink. Good luck. It can also be defective.....

if you turned the 'squeezing' nut too much were the whole assembley turns you will never get it tight. you get one try at it then you have to back off the nut and drill out bad nutsert an try again with another there is no going back . you might find another one at a hardware store or email dee zee for another . good luck they are tricky!!!!

It is very tight to turn, but it will. Use some vice grips or pliers until it turns loose then spray some WD-40 on it. Mine is very tight and hard to turn every time I use it but it doesn't leak so I'm happy.

Are you talking about the long handle or the short, cross-wise handle? If your long handle is loose, twist the ring that you would hang it from, at the end of the handle, clockwise to tighten it. Mine was loose as well. You might have to stick something through the ring to get enough leverage, unless you're an Amazon!

I was originally going to mount it with the handle in front but I put it in sideways and it works just fine. I had a space problem putting the handle in front. My Corian sink is undermounted to the Corian top and the hole drilled needed to be offset another 3/8 of an inch to work. I would not worry about putting the handle to the side the way it's pictured. My marital factor initially disapproved of the side setup, but has not complained since day one.

The handle collapses or extends as you twist it. You need to have some muscle to do it so you may have to have someone assist. The best place to grip it is near where the silver part meets the blue part. also tightens there. Good Luck.

when you look at the bottom of the bars on the RH side i believe(sorry, i'm at work and would not be able to check for sure), there are 2 screws that you need allen wrenches/keys to turn and you just need to loosen both up then extend it to the length you need then tighten it after. It's really easy to do.

I had to push it with pliers. make sure it is in the groove, then use a pair of needlenose pliers to grip end of clip and push. Of course while lying on back with your head stuck up inside the sink. ;<)

The nut is a jam/lock nut. Turning from bottom depends on how much weight is on the leveler. I would suggest adding another nut and jamming both nuts together then should be able to adjust from bottom.

I had to twist the hose as it was inserted to get it to ADVANCE through the bend in the faucet base. I hope this helps.

The plug is held in place in the drain hole by the expanded rubber boot around the foot. Usually the aging plug shows hardened rubber that will crack eventually and the plug no longer works. I don't know what holds the plug in place that you refer to in your email. My gut feel is that lightly tapping some wedge, such as a screwdriver, between the donut washer and the plug top to loosen it. Theoretically nothing is holding the plug in place unless it was forced down thereby expanding the boot and that is all that holds it in place. Give it a tap and see what happens.

I had a similar issue. I ended up drilling the hole a little larger and used a butterfly/toggle bolt. It pulled up tight and has been working well for about 6 months.

You just have to be gentle with it. I think I had mine get stuck a bit. Make sure it's closing the right way. Might be your best bet is to squeeze both ends of one side where it rotates. Just be careful not to break it. :)

Is the knob slipping or clicking when you try to turn it? If so, you're simply turning it the wrong direction. It shouldn't be over tightened due to its design.

You have to twist both parts in the opposite direction. I found it helpful to wrap some rubber shelf liner on each piece of the handle for traction. Once you get it loosened, it's very easy to tighten to the length you require. Good luck!
