Instructions / Assembly
Tools needed:
1/2” hex key wrench
Thread tape
Installation:
1. Remove the existing tub spout.
2. Remove the plastic housing assembly located inside the new tube spout, by inserting a ½” hex
key wrench inside the housing assembly and turning it counterclockwise(1/2” hex key wrench
not included) Once removed, grip the assembly and turn the /12” hex key wrench clock wise
until the male insert piece is removed from the assembly.
For ½ Iron Pipe Applications (for pipe that extends between ¾” to 1-1/4” from the wall):
3. Wrap the existing ½” iron pipe threads with thread tape.
4. Remove the ¾” x ½” plastic face bushing from the housing assembly. Wrap the bushing with
thread tap, then thread it onto the ½” iron pipe by hand at least 1 turn.
5. Thread the housing assembly onto the ½ iron pipe from wall, and tighten.
6. Take the male insert piece, and wrap the ½” pipe threads (smaller diameter threads on the
insert piece) with thread tape. Screw this piece into the spout, and tighten with a ½” hex key
wrench. NOTE: a ½” hex key wrench is recommended, but if pliers are used, be careful not to
damage the rubber o-ring with the plier’s jaws.
7. Thread the tub spout onto the housing assembly, by hand only, until the spout base reaches the
wall. Do not tighten the spout; the o-ring on the male insert makes the joint seal tight.
8. Run water and check for any leaks
For ¾ Iron Pipe Applications (for pipe that extends between ¾” to 1-1/4” from the wall):
3. Wrap the existing ¾” iron pipe threads with thread tape.
4. Remove the ¾” x ½” plastic face bushing from the housing assembly and discard.
5. Thread the housing assembly onto the ¾” iron pipe from wall, and tighten.
6. Take the male insert piece, and wrap the ½” pipe threads (smaller diameter threads on the
insert piece) with thread tape. Screw this piece into the spout, and tighten with a ½” hex key
wrench. NOTE: a ½” hex key wrench is recommended, but if pliers are used, be careful not to
damage the rubber o-ring with the plier’s jaws.
