Installation Guide

5. Installation on Rough Deck
When the tile or deck material is less than 1” (2.5 cm) thick:
Add the thickness of the tile/deck material to 2-1/16″ (5.2 cm) to
get the installation height for the valve bodies.
Deck Material+ 2-1/16″ (5.2 cm) =Installation Height
Note this dimension. You will need to use it again after
connecting the supply tube.
Adjust the threaded collar until the dimension from the top of the
valve stem to the top of the rough deck surface equals the
determined clearance.
When the tile or deck material is between 1” (2.5 cm) to 1–1/4” (3.2
cm) thick:
Thread the collar down onto each of the valve bodies until the
top of the valve stem is 3-1/16″ (7.8 cm) above the surface of the
rough deck.
