2. Prepare for Spout installation
NOTE: Before installing the spout sleeve assembly, make sure the
O-ring is properly positioned in the groove on the outside of the
sleeve.
Back off the setscrews in the spout sleeve assembly.
With a twisting motion, place the spout sleeve assembly over the
spout supply assembly and push down to the deck surface.
Align the sleeve with the setscrews offset from the center (not
facing directly forward or backward) of the supply tube.
Tighten the setscrews.
If the spout supply tube needs to be cut, cover the spout sleeve
assembly before cutting to prevent the chips from being lodged in
the O-ring.
Measure and cut off the supply tube 1/2” (1.3 cm) maximum
above the top of the spout sleeve assembly.
Remove all burrs from the supply tube to prevent damage to the
O-ring seal on the sleeve.
Uncover the spout sleeve assembly.
Carefully clean off any debris.
Purge the spout supply tube of debris.

Apply a ring of plumbers putty or other sealant around the
underside of the spout base according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Position the spout on the sleeve, and carefully press down until
the spout contacts the finished deck.
Align the spout as desired, and tighten the setscrew.

4. Install the Stem Adapters
Remove the plaster guards.
Close the valves (hot = clockwise, cold = counterclockwise).
Install a spline adapter to each valve stem.
Thread an escutcheon over each sidebody extension until it
bottoms out. Hand tighten.
Choose the appropriate size stem adapters based on the finished
deck/tile thickness. The sizes are as follows: small deck,0–1/4″
(6 mm), medium deck 1/4″(6 mm) – 3/4″(1.9 cm), and large
decks 3/4″(1.9 cm) – 1-1/4″(3.2 cm) thick. Use a small stem
adapter for rim and non-tiled deck applications.
Place the stem adapter into the sidebody extension and push it
down over the spline adapter. Position the stem adapters with the
rounded surface (″D″) positioned as shown.
To realign the stem adapters remove them, then remove and
rotate the spline adapter until the desired alignment is found.
