e:: Regarding fittings, the use of petroleum based plumber’s putty on our products will nullify
the warranty. We recommend the use of clear silicone sealing materials as outlined by the
manufacturer.
To avoid damage to trim, all mating surfaces,(tile, paint, etc.), should be finished prior to trim instal-
lation.
Recommended trim for installation 517-xx, sold separately. Note: -xx designates various nipple
length available for installation requirements.

uct installation.
