INST ALLER INFORMA TION
These instructions cover two methods of
installation: installation on finished deck or bath
rim, and installation on rough (unfinished) deck (to
be covered later with tile or other finish material).
Leave protective sleeve on spout supply tube until
spout installation. This is an O-Ring sealing surface
which may be damaged when unprotected.
Finish deck material must fit closely to the
diameters of the plaster guards, especially the
spout plaster guard.
Provide an access panel to valves from underside
of deck.

PREPARATION
For installations with 8” (20.3cm) centers using copper
tubing (1/2” nominal, 5/8” O.D.), cut tubing to the lengths
as follows:
2-pieces: 2-7/8” (7.3cm) long
1-piece: 2-3/8” (6cm) long (for finished deck or bath rim
installation only).
INST ALL SPOUT SUPPL Y TUBE
Slide brass washer from bottom of spout supply tube over
threads until washer reaches supply tube shoulder.
Insert spout supply tube through mounting hole from top
of deck/bath rim. Ensure flat portion of washer faces
forward. Spout supply tube will be suspended by washer.
Slide plate (oriented with tabs toward deck) and washer
onto spout supply tube from bottom and thread on
mounting nut. Tighten nut.
Secure plate to deck or wooden support with two wood
screws.
NOTE: Leave protective sleeve on spout supply tube until spout installation.

INST ALL V AL VE BODIES
Thread one mounting nut, flange side up, followed by one
fiber washer and one rubber washer onto each valve
body.
Insert the 2-7/8” (7.3cm) long copper tubes between the
valve bodies and 1/2” tee. For a finished deck or bath rim
installation only, insert the 2-3/8” (6cm) long copper tube
into top of tee.
Do not solder connections yet.

Insert valve bodies through mounting holes from bottom
of deck/bath rim. For finished deck or bath rim installation,
mate copper tube from tee with spout supply tube. Hold
in place.
Place a collar with flange side up on each valve body and
thread down to at least 1” (2.5cm) from top thread on valve
body .
Install threaded sleeve on each valve body until sleeve
bottoms on valve body.
Back up collar until it contacts sleeve.
NOTE: For finished deck/bath rim installations, perform
procedures of this frame. For rough (unfinished) deck
installations, omit procedures in this frame and perform
procedures in frames Fig. #7 thru Fig. #11.
Tighten mounting nuts on each valve body underneath
deck/bath rim.
Solder copper tubes to valve bodies, tee and spout supply
tube.
Solder hot and cold water tubes to valve body inlets.
Ensure cold supply is on right hand side.

NOTE: This frame applicable to rough (unfinished) deck

Set Valve Body Height: Use one of the following two
formulas to calculate the valve body clearance required
for the finish material at your installation.
If tile to be installed measures less than 1” (2.5cm) thick,
add that measurement to 1-1/4” (3.2cm).
Example #1: Tile thickness (3/4” (1.9cm)) + 1-1/4” (3.2cm)
= 2” (5.1cm) clearance.
If the tile to be installed measures between 1” (2.5cm) and
1-1/4” (3.2cm) thick, add only 1” (2.5cm) to 1-1/4” (3.2cm).
Example #2: Tile thickness (1-1/8” (2.9cm)) =1” (2.5cm) +
1-1/4” (3.2cm) = 2-1/4” (5.7cm) clearance.
Adjust threaded collar until the dimension from the top of
the sleeve to the top of the rough deck surface equals the
clearance requirement you calculated.
Note this dimension. You will need to use it again after
connecting the supply tube.

Supply Tube Connection: Measure distance from
bottom of spout supply tube to top of tee.
Add 1” (2.5cm) to this measurement and cut a piece of
1/2” nominal (5/8” O.D.) copper tubing to fit into the supply
tube and tee port.
NOTE: This frame applicable to rough (unfinished) deck
installations only.
Back off threaded collars as far as possible without
removing them. Pivot the valve bodies enough to remove
the tee and two pieces of tubing. (If valve body holes are
smaller than recommended, it may be necessary to
remove the entire valve body assembly.)
Install tubing into tee. Mate copper tube from tee with
spout supply tube. Pivot the valve bodies onto the two
pieces of copper tubing.
Do not solder at this time.

4. INSTALL TILE (IF APPLICABLE)
Verify that there will be a 1” (2.5cm) to 1-1/2” (3.8cm)
distance from the top of the sleeve to the top of the tile. If
not, do not install tile due to improper valve installation.
If proper clearance exists, install tile up to plaster guards
on valves and spout supply tube.
5. INSTALL SPOUT
Ensure valves are closed (cold fully counterclockwise, hot
fully clockwise).
Turn off main water supply.
WARNING:Risk of personal injury. Lines may be
pressurized. Do not lean over pipe plug when turning
or removing the plug.
Wrap a towel around the pipe plug to prevent water spray .
Water may purge from the supply tube when you remove
the plug.

Back off screws in sleeve, and with a twisting motion
install sleeve on spout supply tube until it contacts washer
surface.
Align sleeve so that screws are not facing directly forward
or backwards. Tighten screws.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Use care
when installing spout assembly to prevent damage
to O-Ring seal on outside of sleeve.
Place ring of plumbers putty around underside of spout.
Install spout on sleeve by carefully pressing down until
spout base contacts deck, bath rim, or tile. Align spout as
desired and tighten screw.

Apply a ring of plumbers putty around the underside of the
handle skirt. Thread the assembled handle and skirt to
the valve body until it contacts the finished wall.
Be sure to properly align Traditional and Lever handle
styles. Remove and rotate the spline adapter to provide
proper handle alignment.
NOTE: The stem extension allows for fine adjustment of
Traditional and Lever handle alignment. To refine the
alignment, unthread the handle and skirt, and reposition
the stem extension on the valve stem. Rethread the
handle and skirt, and check the handle alignment. Repeat
until the alignment is satisfactory.
Repeat for the other handle.
