cm) beyond the finished wall material.

Determine the faucet installation location.
Install a supply stop and route the water supply to the

installation location.
Install appropriate backing and secure the supply pipe so the

front face of the pipe nipple will protrude no more that 1/2″ (1.3
cm) beyond the finished wall surface.

Install the wall board and finished wall material. Allow a 1-3/16″
(3 cm) diameter opening in the wall board and finished wall
material for the faucet supply connection.
