Installation Guide

5. Check Operation of Valves

Thread a 1/4” pipe plug into the top of the spout supply tube.

Ensure that the valves are closed (cold — fully counterclockwise; hot —

fully clockwise).

Turn on the main water supply and check the complete installation for leaks

with the valves closed and open. Repair leaks as needed.

Close both valves and turn off the main water supply.

WARNING: Risk of personal injury. Lines will be pressurized. Do not

lean over pipe plug as you remove it.

Wrap a towel around the pipe plug to prevent water spray. Water will

purge from the supply tube when you remove the plug.

Carefully loosen the pipe plug to remove pressure.

Thread the pipe plug back into the spout supply tube. Leave the pipe plug

installed until the spout and handles are installed.

Install the cardboard plaster guards over both valves and the spout supply

tube. Leave in place until the spout and handles are installed.

6. Install Tile (If Applicable)

Verify that there will be a 1–1/4” (3.2cm) distance from the top of the sleeve

to the top of the tile. If there is not, correct the valve clearance as described

earlier.

Install tile up to the plaster guards on the valves and the spout supply tube.
