top, first screw the handle flange with washer (3)onto the diverter, then insert the handle bell with the
ring,, secure the handle bell with the screw and tighten it firmly. Lastly screw the handle cap onto the
handle bell and tighten it firmly. The washer (3) must be gently pressed against the surface.

** The spout, handle valve bodies and diverter can be connected with flex hoses (not provide by Santec) or copper pipe soldering.

probability of leakage.
