Attach The Handle
1. Place the Handle onto the valve stem as shown above. Test
the Handle rotation so that it comes to a stop at all three stop
locations on the Escutcheon. If this is not the case, remove the
handle, rotate it 180°, and replace the Handle onto the valve
stem.
2. Fasten the Handle to the valve stem using the supplied torx
screw.
3. Push the Plug Button into the Handle hole until it snaps into
place.
Faucets made of leaded brass alloys may contribute small amounts of lead to
water that is allowed to stand in contact with the brass. The amount of lead
contributed by any faucet is highest when the faucet is new. The following steps
may reduce potential exposure to lead from faucets and other parts of the
plumbing system:
• Always run the water for a few seconds prior to use for drinking or cooking
• Use only cold water for drinking or cooking
• If you wish to flush the entire plumbing system of water that has been standing
in the pipes or other fittings, run the cold water until the temperature of the
water drops, indicating water coming from the outside main
• If you are concerned about lead in your water, have your water tested by a
certified laboratory in your area

1. Prior to Escutcheon installation, verify that the plaster ground has been removed from
the valve so that the trim will fit properly.
2. Screw on the Mounting Sleeve passing through the Escutcheon such that the outer rim
of the sleeve presses up firmly against the Escutcheon, holding it in place against the
wall.
Note:
• The orientation of the Mounting Sleeve is dependent upon whether the valve was
installed closer or further from the finished wall.
Optional
An optional decal sheet was included with the packaging.
These decals on this sheet can be used in place of the
numbers on the Escutcheon according to the valve position
function.
2. Re-assemble the top plate to the transfer valve body by turning it clockwise until handtight (take caution when handling
the top plate threads) and then turn an additional 1/2 turn with a wrench.
Note:
• The proper torque of the top plate into the transfer valve body is 25 in-lbs. (2.8 N-m).
3. If the trim is to be installed at a later time, re-install the plaster ground to protect the valve.
