SPOUT INSTALLATION

2543LA _ _

1

- Remove the faucet from the box.
Remove the mounting lock nut and washer (10) and tee connector (11) from the
threaded spout shank.

- From the top of the deck, slip the spout with the flange and flange washer (3) through
the assigned spout hole. Secure the spout by putting the washer and mounting nut (10)
back onto the threaded spout shank. Align the spout and tighten the lock nut firmly.

2

- Connect the tee connector (11) to the spout shank. Make sure the washer is
inserted between the tee connector and the shank.

Note: for better installation it is advisable to place silicone caulking around all holes on
the top of the deck

HANDLE TRIM INSTALLATION

1

- For proper handle turning direction, install the handle with the “cold” blue label (7)
at the right side of the spout (looking from the front) and the handle with the “hot”
red label at the left side of the spout.

- Both hot and cold side handle trims are pre-assmbled for faster installation.

- Remove the valve body mounting hardware (12) from the valve body. Slip the
valve body’s flexible hoses from the top of the sink or counter through the
appropriate hole next to the spout. Make sure the handle flange washer (3) is
properly placed underneath of the flange and gently pressed against the sink
top. Aim the tee connecting hoses (8) toward the tee connector (11).

3
