2. Install the Spout

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Use care when installing
the spout assembly to prevent damage to the O-ring seal.

NOTE: If your installation is on a tile-covered rough deck, slide a
brass washer, flat side facing forward, onto the supply tube. The
brass washer is supplied with the spout. This washer is not needed
for rim/finished deck installations.

Remove the plaster guard from the spout supply tube.
Cut off the spout supply tube 1-1/2″ (3.8 cm) above the

escutcheon.
Remove all burrs from the supply tube.
Loosen the setscrews in the sleeve.
Using a twisting motion, install the sleeve on the spout supply

tube until it contacts the deck or washer.
Align the sleeve with the setscrews offset from the center (not

facing directly forward or backward) of the supply tube.
Tighten the setscrews.
Position the spout on the sleeve, and carefully press down until

the spout contacts the finished deck.
Align the spout as desired, and tighten the setscrew.
Insert the plug button (if included) over the setscrew, flush with

3. Install Handles

NOTE: There are different handle styles available for this product.
Only one style of handle is shown. Installation of all handle styles is
identical.

Remove the plaster guards.
Measure the distance from the top of the valve stem to the

finished surface.
For a valve stem height between 1-13/16″ (4.6 cm) and 2-1/8″ (5.4

cm) use a brass spline adapter and screw. For a valve stem height
between 2-1/8″ (5.4 cm) and 2-5/16″ (5.9 cm) use a plastic spline
adapter.

If the brass spline adapter is required, attach using the screw
supplied. The plastic spline adapter slides on with no attachment.

Position the handle assemblies facing in opposite directions away
from the spout.

Thread the handle onto the valve body. Make sure the splines in
the handle and stem extension are engaged.

NOTE: The spline adapter allows fine adjustment of the handle
alignment. To adjust, remove the handle and reposition the spline
adapter.

Align the handle.
Reinstall the handle and check alignment.
