Installation

Turn the water off at the main before beginning.

Cut the plaster shield on the rough valve so that it is 3/8”
above the surface of the finished floor.

Remove the flush insert. Do not discard the screws.

Position the tub filler over the rough. Turn it so that the
spout faces in the correct direction.

Make sure that the unit is plumb. Install the three screws
included with the tub filler and the three screws reserved
from the flush insert. Tighten the screws with an 8 mm
Allen wrench.
