FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION OR COMPLETE REMODEL

• A hot
complies with ASSE 1016-2011/ASME A112.1016-2011/
CSA B125.16-11 is required (NOT INCLUDED

• Nipple should extend no more than ½" past nished

wall surface.

1. Determine the length Nipple (D) needed.

a. Place mark on existing shower arm at wall surface.

Unscrew shower arm from elbow in wall.

b. Measure distance from mark on shower arm to end of

shower arm threads. Add ½" to this measurement, and
then round to nearest ½".

Example 1: If measurement = 1¼", add ½" = 1¾",

rounded = 2" NPT nipple—this is the length needed.

Example 2: If measurement = 1

rounded = 2" NPT nipple—this is the length needed.

IMPORTANT—If existing shower arm is located above the
tile/berglass wall surface you must add the distance from
the sheetrock to face of the tile/berglass shower wall to the
above measurement.

NOTE—If supplied 2" Nipple (D) is not the correct length
based on above formula, you must obtain the correct size,
sold separately. Various length NPT brass nipples are readily
available at most hardware stores.

2. Apply a generous amount of Teon Tape (N) to both ends of
the Nipple (D).

3. Hand tighten Inlet Fitting (C) onto Nipple (D), then Nipple to
tting in wall. Use adjustable wrench on the Inlet Fitting to
tighten both connections simultaneously. Continue tightening
until both connections are secure with no leaks.

4. Connect Top Tee (B) into Shower Pipe (E) and align with
Diverter. Make sure Top Tee is fully seated into Shower Pipe
and secure with Set Screw (K).

5. Slide Shower Arm (A) into Top Tee (B) and hand-tighten
Retaining Nut until secure.

6. Slide Top Escutcheon (F) over Top Tee (B), then slide Bottom
Escutcheon (F) over Diverter.

anchors. Mark hole locations in Lower Mount. Drill 1¼" deep
holes using 6mm (1/4") masonry/tile drill bit. Insert Wall
Anchors (P) and secure Lower Mount with Screws (O).
