1. Install the Spout

CAUTION: Risk of personal injury. Lines may be pressurized.
Do not lean over the pipe plug when turning or removing the
plug.

IMPORTANT! Keep the spout supply tube clean above the finished
deck to avoid damage to the O-ring seal.

Remove the plaster guards.

Remove the pipe plug from the supply stem, using a rag to
prevent spray as the plug is removed.

Back the setscrews off at the base of the spout until they are clear
of the supply tube.

Position the spout on the supply tube, and carefully press down
until the spout contacts the finished deck.

Align the spout as desired, and tighten the setscrews.

Slide the escutcheon down the spout until it is flush with the
finished deck.
