Can I install this on a single-hole sink?

Troubleshooting
Reduced water flow from the spout
Unscrew the aerator at the end of the spout and soak it in a vinegar-water solution to remove limescale buildup.
Water leaking from the base of the handles
The internal cartridges may require tightening or replacement; ensure the water supply is off before attempting maintenance.
Handle feels loose during operation
Check for a small grub screw beneath the handle cover and tighten it using an appropriate hex key.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should be performed in accordance with standard plumbing practices, ensuring that your sink has the required dual-hole configuration for bridge-style taps. Because of its bridge architecture, verify that the centers of your tap holes match the bridge span of this unit. For daily care, wipe the silver finish with a soft, damp cloth and dry immediately to prevent water spotting. Avoid using abrasive cleaning pads or harsh acidic chemicals, as these can degrade the protective finish over time. Periodically check the aerator at the end of the spout for mineral buildup and clear it to maintain optimal flow pressure.
