Installation Guide

5. Install the Faceplate and Handle
CAUTION: Risk of product damage to the K-306-KS valve
assembly. When using this valve in a fiberglass or acrylic
installation, use the Thin Wall Installation Kit (88526).
For installation over a tiled wall, apply a bead of silicone sealant
around the back edges of the faceplate.
Break off the tab at the lower right on the backing plate. Fit the
backing plate over the valve so the large hole is on the bottom
and secure with two screws. Do not overtighten.
Rotate the valve stem fully counterclockwise.
Position the faceplate over the backing plate and thread the collar
into the backing plate. Do not cross thread.
Insert the sleeve into the notches of the collar and hand tighten. If
the collar does not thread into the backing plate, thread the
backing plate screws 1/2 turn back.
Insert the stem extension with the flat sections facing up.
Attach the stem extension to the valve stem with the flat head
screw.
Check the handle alignment. The handle lever should point
straight down.
To adjust the handle position, remove the handle and reposition
the stem. Reinstall the handle and check the alignment. Repeat
until the proper alignment is achieved.
