2. Prepare for Spout Installation

Remove the plaster guard from the spout supply tube.
Cut off the spout supply tube 1-1/4” (3.2 cm) above the rim,

finished deck, or tile.
Remove all burrs from the spout supply tube to prevent damage

to the O-ring seal on the spout sleeve assembly.

NOTE: The washer is not needed for rim/finished deck installation.

If the installation includes a tile covered rough deck, slide the
washer, flat side facing forward, onto the spout supply tube.

NOTE: Before installing the spout sleeve assembly, make sure the
O-ring is properly positioned in the groove on the outside of the
sleeve.

Back off the setscrews in the spout sleeve assembly.
With a twisting motion, place the spout sleeve assembly over the

spout supply tube and push down to the deck surface.
Align the sleeve with the setscrews offset from the center (not

facing directly forward or backward) of the spout supply tube.
Tighten the setscrews.
Purge the supply tube of debris.
