CAUTION:
Before turning water on during either rough-in or trim-out, make sure that cartridge retainer clip is in place. The
cartridge and retainer clip were properly installed and tested before leaving the factory. Although it is unlikely, it
is nevertheless possible that through the handling of the valve by any number of persons the retainer clip may not
be properly installed. This should be carefully checked at time of rough-in and trim-out. If the retainer clip is not
properly installed, water pressure could force the cartridge out of the casting. Personal injury or water damage to
the premises could result.

a. Make sure all water supplies are OFF. Turn the faucet on to relieve pressure and insure complete shut-off.
b. Remove handle parts and cartridge and spout (see “Disassembly” on page 3 for detailed instructions).
c. At the supplies, slowly turn both hot and cold water on and thoroughly flush out the body and lines.
d. Turn off supplies and reasemble spout, cartridge and handle parts (see "Reassembly).
e. Turn on supplies and check system for leaks.

To Eliminate Cross-Piping On Back-To-Back Installations, or To Correct
Reversed Rough-In Where Hot and Cold Positions Are Reversed:
Remove handle cap, handle screw and handle assembly (see “Disassembly” instructions). Turn valve stem around
so that the notched flat is turned one half turn or 180˚. Re-install handle parts (see “Reassembly” instructions).
Maintenance
Your new faucet will give good service for an extended period of time. Should foreign materials in the system affect its operation, routine repairs can be
easily made. If your faucet drips from the spout end or leaks up through the handle, follow “Disassembly“ instructions and replace with the cartridge
listed in the Replacement Parts List, on page 4. If your faucet leaks from either the top or bottom of the spout hub, use the Spout Seal Kit (listed in the
Replacement Parts List) and replace. Re-assemble, following “Reassembly“ instructions. For proper water flow, aerator must be free of foreign
particles;. If fow is weak or irregular, unscrew aerator, clean and replace.

Consumer Information
Faucets made of leaded brass alloys may contribute small amounts of lead to water that is allowed to stand in contact with the brass. The amount of
lead contributed by any faucet is highest when the faucet is new. The following steps may reduce potential exposure to lead from faucets and other parts
of the plumbing system:
•Always run the water for a few seconds prior to use for drinking or cooking.
•Use only cold water for drinking or cooking.
•If you wish to flush the entire plumbing system of water that has been standing in the pipes or other fittings, run the cold water until the temperature
of the water drops, indicating water coming from the outside main.
•If you are concerned about lead in your water, have your water tested by a certified laboratory in your area.
