Installation Considerations
•Save time and frustration: plan the installation of both the faucet and the lavatory carefully.
•For best results, this unit should be installed by a licensed, professional plumber.
•Flush the hot and cold supply lines thoroughly, according to these installation instructions.
Damage to the valve cartridge caused by debris is not covered by the Hansgrohe warranty.
•The cartridge comes in the box with the trim kit. The rough is equipped with a flush insert that
will allow the unit to be pressurized while preventing cross flow.
•This rough must be completed with a suitable trim kit.
•No drain is included with either this rough or the trim kit. Contact the manufacturer of the
lavatory for their recommendations regarding suitable drains.
Tool suggested for installation (not included): socket wrench with 17 mm and 27 mm deep
sockets
The intended spout should reach far enough into the bowl so that the water hits just ahead of or
just behind the drain (to minimize splashing).
The rough should be placed high enough on the wall so that the end of the spout is above the
flood level of the sink. Many municipalities require an air gap of at least one inch between the
end of the spout and the flood level of the sink -- know and follow all applicable local codes
regarding the air gap.

Installation Instructions
This valve can be installed so that the handle is
either to the right or to the left of the spout. This
decision must be made prior to installation, as
it cannot be changed at a later date without re-
plumbing.
To insure proper fit of the trim, the valve should be
installed so that the outside surface of the finished
wall falls between the minimum and maximum
markings on the plaster shields.

Cleaning Recommendation for Hansgrohe Products
Modern sanitary faucetry and shower fixtures consist of very different materials to comply with the needs of the market with
regard to design and functionality.
To avoid damage and returns, it is necessary to consider certain points when cleaning:
Cleaning materials for faucets and shower products:
Acids are necessary ingredients of cleaning materials for removing lime. However, please pay attention to the following points
when cleaning faucets and shower products:
•Use only cleaning materials intended for the application.
•Never use cleaning materials which contain hydrochloric, formic, or phosphoric, or acetic acid, as these can cause
considerable damage.
•Do not mix one cleaning material with another.
•Do not use abrasives, such as cleaning powders, sponge pads, or microfiber cloths.
Cleaning Instructions for Faucets and Shower Products:
Please follow the cleaning material manufacturer’s instructions. In addition, please note the following:
•Clean your faucets and shower products as and when required.
•Follow the label instructions. Do not allow any cleaner to remain on the product for longer than necessary.
•Regular cleaning will prevent scale buildup and water spotting.
•When using spray cleaners, spray first onto a sponge or cloth. Do not spray directly onto the faucet or shower product
as drops could enter openings or gaps and cause damage.
•After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with clear water to remove any cleaner residue.
Important
Residues of liquid soaps, shampoos, and shower foams can also cause damage, so rinse with clean water after using.
Please note:
•If the surface is already damaged, the effect of cleaning materials will cause further damage.
•Components with damaged surfaces must be replaced, otherwise, this could cause injury.
•Damage caused by improper treatment will not be covered by our warranty.
