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, ¯at side facing forward, onto the supply tube. The brass washer is supplied with the spout. This washer is not needed for rim/®nished deck installations.

Remove the plaster guard from the spout supply tube.

Cut off the spout supply tube 1-1/2² (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 ®nished deck.

Align the spout as desired, and tighten the setscrew.

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 ®nished surface.

For a valve stem height between 1-13/16² (4.6 cm) and 2-1/8² (5.4 cm) use a brass spline adapter and screw. For a valve stem height between 2-1/8² (5.4 cm) and 2-5/16² (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 ®ne adjustment of the handle alignment. To adjust, remove the handle and reposition the spline adapter.

Align the handle.

Reinstall the handle and check alignment.
