Philippe Starck Two-Handle Tub Filler
Rough-In 10452181 Installation
Installation Considerations:
The 10458XX1 two-handle tub filler is designed to be installed with bathrooms
that will be fitted with water impervious flooring such as tile, marble, or
decorative stone.
A remote pressure balance valve, 13418181, is available for those areas that
require scald guard valves on tub fittings that include hand showers. It is
installed to the hot and cold water supplies within 6 of the tub filler.
The 10452181 rough-in kit may be secured directly to concrete sub-flooring
using the supplied anchors. A three-inch minimum*, six-inch maximum* grout
bed must be laid over the completed rough-in assembly.

Installation Instructions
• Apply plumbers thread sealing tape on two six-inch brass threaded pipe
nipples (not supplied) and tighten them into the brass rough-in flange.
Hot and cold connections will be made to these nipples.
• If the water connections are to be made below the floor, elbows can be
fitted to the brass nipples and turned down through the floor. The water
piping can be routed alternately along the surface of the sub-flooring if
desired.
• Note: It is important to have at least six inches of hot and cold piping
on top of the sub-flooring as it lends stability to the tub filler when
embedded in the grout floor. Strap all support piping to the sub-flooring.
• Remove and set aside the six hex-head screws securing the black plastic
plaster guard from the brass rough-in flange. Position the brass rough-in
flange in the desired location of the two-handle tub mixer. Orient the
two water inlets to allow convenient connection to the hot and cold
supplies. Using the rough-in flange as a template, mark the six screw
holes using a 3/16 drill bit. Secure the rough-in flange to the floor
using the supplied lag screws.
• IMPORTANT: Make sure to keep the brass rough-in flange
level in all planes.
• The brass rough-in flange can also be through-bolted to the wood sub-
flooring, if desired (hardware not included).
• The same procedure is used for a concrete sub-floor, with the exception
that an eight-millimeter masonry drill bit is used for the screw holes. The
plastic masonry anchors (supplied) are inserted into the six screw holes
and the rough-in flange is secured to the concrete sub-floor using the
supplied screws. Once again, the flange must be level in all
planes, and grout and tile built up to the same dimensions over the
completed rough in, just as in a wood sub floor installation.
