I bought a freestanding tap. The instructions were rather undetailed but I've been able to work most of it out. However one thing I don't understand is the base connection(see pictures). The instructions has an arrow and G 1/2 but why are the holes off to the side? How can I connect this without restricting the flow. Are the holes supposed to be like this? Am I missing a part?
it has been drilled after casting to create the waterway rather than the difficult of having an internal water way. Looking at the pictures, particularly the last one i don't think they could have drilled it much bigger as it lines up with the other connections.
