Operation

Check for proper operation of the fi ll spout. Always

fi ll the bath with a mixture of hot and cold water. Wa-
ter temperatures in excess of 140° F may damage
the fi ll spout and/or discolor the bath's surface.

Plumbing Connections

Note: Turn off water at main shut-off valve before
making plumbing connections to supply lines.

Connect the water line from the hot and cold valve

to the threaded pipe extension of the fi ll spout per
illustration G or H. Use Tefl on tape or thread seal-
ant designed for use on plastics. Do not use oil
base thread compounds.

For bath fi ll spout only applications, refer to the

suggested plumbing schemes G for separated
valves and H for paired valves. If a rim or wall
mounted shower is installed, a transfer or mixer
valve will be required. Three variations are shown
in illustration J (standard shower), K (rim mounted
or hand held), and L (shower with anti-siphon valve
if required by code.

If local plumbing codes require the installation of

an anti-siphon valve, locate the anti-siphon valve
6" above the rim of the bath in a vertical position
over a waterproof surface or fi xture to allow for
any possible water leakage through the air vent.
The valve must be exposed and have access for
service.

Installing the Faucet Handles

Install the rubber gasket into the faucet handle

aligning the fl at of the gasket with the projection
from the handle, then aligning the fl at surface on the
stem with the fl at inside handle, place the handle
onto the stem of the faucet valve.

Insert the #10-24 x 3/8" L stainless steel PHPM

screw (provided) through the handle and gasket
into the valve stem and tighten.

Rotate handles clockwise to the end of travel.
Push in inserts with dots oriented toward the outer

edge of the bath rim, red dot indicating hot water
and blue dot indicating cold water. The notch in
the insert must align with the ribs on the inside of
the handles for fl ush engagement. (See illustra-
tion I.)
