Recommended Installation by a Professional Plumbing Contractor
Note: The use of petroleum base plumbers putty on our products will nullify the warranty.
We recommend the use of clear silicone sealing materials. Recommended deck hole Ø1.25.
1.Thread Spout BUSHING (4) into spout BASE (1). Thread SHANK (5) into BUSHING (4).
Insert the spout SHANK (5) through spout base RING (2) with WASHER (3) and center hole
of mounting surface. Secure SPOUT (1) and spout base RING (2) into place with spout
WASHER (6) and NUT (7). See Figure 1
2. Place NUT (8) and WASHER (9) on valve BODY (10). Insert BODY (10), (blue cold and red
hot), through hole in the mounting surface. Adjust and secure with additional WASHER (9)
and NUT (8) so that the top of valve is 2" above top of mounting surface. Before tightening
down flange NUT (8), check HANDLE (19, 19a) alignment by placing onto Valve (10). Any
adjustments for rotational alignment must be made to the valve BODY (10), not to the car-
tridge. See Figure 1.
3. Insert rubber WASHER (11) into TEE (12) and attach to spout SHANK (5). See Figure 2.
4. Connect large end of flexible HOSE (16) to side outlet of each valve BODY (10). Attach
other end of HOSE (16) to either side of the TEE (12). (Hand-tighten and secure each con-
nection with a wrench ¼ turn.) See Figure 3.
5. Connect hot/cold water supply to appropriate 1/2” NPSM valve BODY (10), utilizing one of
the three following types of risers. Supply risers not included. See Figure 3.
a. 1/2” IPS flexible riser: discard rubber nosecone WASHER (13), friction WASHER (14) and
coupling NUT (15).
b. 3/8” or 1/2” OD bullnose riser: utilize friction WASHER (14) and coupling NUT (15).
c. 1/2” copper riser: utilize rubber nosecone WASHER (13), friction WASHER (14) and cou-
pling NUT (15).
6. Thread ESCUTCHEON (17) and BONNET (18) onto valve. Any adjustments for rotational
alignment must be made to the valve body - not to the cartridge. (Note: Allow minimum spac-
ing between HANDLE (19, 19a) and BONNET (18) to prevent damage to the surface finish.)
Attach HANDLE (19, 19a) and secure into place with SETSCREW (20). See Figure 4.
7. Remove AERATOR (21) from SPOUT (1), turn on water supply, and flush both valves until
water is clear. Check for leaks and make any final adjustments required. Re-attach AERATOR
(21) to the SPOUT (1).
