1. Install the Faucet
Thread the mounting studs into the holes in the bottom of the
faucet body.
NOTE: The base of the faucet may be attached to the lavatory using
either the supplied rubber washer or plumbers putty to form a
watertight seal. Do not attach the faucet to the lavatory using both
the rubber washer and plumbers putty.
For rubber washer attachment: Slide the washer over the supply
inlets and up to the faucet base.
For plumbers putty attachment: Apply the plumbers putty or
other sealant to the underside of the flange of the faucet base
according to the putty manufacturer’s instructions.
Feed the faucet supply inlets through the faucet hole of the
lavatory, then position the faucet.
Slide the washer and bracket over the mounting studs, then
securely tighten the nuts to the mounting studs.

2. Install the Drain
Remove the protective cover from the flange.
Apply a ring of plumbers putty or other sealant to the underside
of the flange according to the putty manufacturer’s instructions.
Assemble the nut, flat washer, and tapered gasket (tapered side
up) fully onto the body.
From the underside of the fixture, insert the drain body up into
the drain hole.
From the top of the fixture, securely hand tighten the flange onto
the drain body.
Make sure the drain body seal hole is facing the back of the
fixture, and securely tighten the nut.
Remove any excess putty or sealant.
Apply plumbers putty.

3. Complete the Drain Installation
Press the seal into the seal hole on the body.
Insert the stopper into the flange.
For regular installations, insert the short end of the rod into the
body seal hole and under the stopper rod. For vandal-resistant
installations, fit the rod through the hole in the stopper rod.
Hand tighten the rod nut.
Remove and adjust the stopper as needed so it lifts about 3/8″(1
cm) when opened. To adjust, rotate the threaded stopper rod in or
out as needed. Retighten the stopper nut.
Apply thread sealant tape to the tailpiece threads, then thread the
tailpiece to the body. Tighten the tailpiece securely.
Slide one end of the clip onto the rod. Slide the link onto the lift
rod with the thumbscrew facing the back of the fixture.
Squeeze the other end of the clip, aligning the hole with the rod.
Move the link to the proper position by squeezing the clip and
sliding it along the rod.
Insert the lift rod into the hole in the body and then into the hole
in the link.
Tighten the thumbscrew onto the link so the lift rod knob extends
1/2″(1.3 cm) above the lift rod hole.

6. Optional Temperature Limiting Adjustment
NOTE: The water temperature does not need to be adjusted if the
maximum water temperature is below 105°F (41°C).
Lift and turn the lever handle to the full hot position.
Determine the temperature using a thermometer. If the
temperature exceeds 105°F (41°C), complete the following steps.
Using a small flat-blade screwdriver, carefully pry the plug button
off the lever handle.
Loosen the setscrew on the handle with a hex wrench, then
remove the handle and bonnet.
Note the position of the locking ring relative to the inner geared
ring.
NOTE: To avoid damage to the locking ring during removal, pry
each side of the locking ring off the inner geared ring with an equal
and even technique.
Gradually pry each side of the locking ring up off of the inner
geared ring and onto the valve stem with a flat-blade screwdriver.
Rotate the valve stem clockwise to increase temperature, or
counterclockwise to decrease temperature.
Reinstall the locking ring into the inner geared ring.
Reinstall the bonnet and handle to the faucet body.
Test the setting and make any adjustments as needed.
