1. Install Spout
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Use care when installing
the spout assembly to prevent damage to the O-ring seal.
NOTE: If your installation is on a tile-covered rough deck, slide a
brass washer, flat side facing forward, onto the supply tube. The
brass washer is supplied with the spout. This washer is not needed
for rim/finished deck installations.
Wrap a towel around the pipe plug and carefully remove it.
Remove the plaster guard from the spout supply tube.
Cut off the spout supply tube 1-1/4″(3.2 cm) above the rim,
finished deck or tile.
Remove all burrs from the supply tube.
Loosen the setscrews in the sleeve.
Using a twisting motion, install the sleeve on the spout supply
tube until it contacts the deck or washer.
Align the sleeve with the setscrews offset from the center (not
facing directly forward or backward) of the supply tube.
Tighten the setscrews.
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.
Insert the plug button (if included) over the setscrew, flush with
the spout surface.
