Threaded Tub Spout Installation
If this is a shower only
installation, skip to step 4.4.
IPS (threaded) spouts are
designed to screw onto a pipe
with 1/2 inch male pipe threads.
To determine the proper pipe
length, measure from the inside
elbow shoulder to the wall (y)
and from the threaded adapter
inside of the tub spout to the
base of the tub spout (x), then
add 1/4". Place thread seal tape
around the pipe threading and a
sealant (plumbers putty or caulk)
around the base of the pipe to
prevent leaking behind the wall.
Thread the tub spout onto the
pipe until flush with the wall.

Special instructions for shallow wall cavity installations:
This plaster ground valve assembly variation should only be used when the wall cavity
restricts the depth the valve may be placed in the wall. It can be used with either the
thick wall installation when the back wall prevents the plaster ground printed face
from coming flush to the finished wall or the thin wall installation where the plaster
ground / valve assembly will not fit within the wall cavity.
Note: Installing the valve using this method will result in the handle extending into the
shower area farther and exposing more of the valve.
To reconfigure the plaster ground / valve assembly for a shallow wall cavity installation:
1. Using a pair of pliers, remove the plaster ground cap by snapping it off.
2. Remove the screw (s) holding the plaster ground to the valve.
3. Remove the #2 hole covers by prying them out with a flat bladed screw driver or drilling them
out with a 3/16" drill bit.
4. Rotate the plaster ground 90° clockwise so that the arrows on either side of the word optional
point upwards and reinstall the screws removed in step 2 into the holes marked 2.
5. Install the plaster ground per the thick wall installation or thin wall installation method
described earlier.
