HARDWARE CONTENTS
Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate or install the
product.
NOISE AND WATER HAMMER IN PEX SYSTEMS
As with all plumbing materials under some operating conditions, water hammer can occur in PEX
plumbing systems. The inherent exibility of PEX drastically reduces the magnitude of pressure surges
compared with metallic plumbing materials. Damage to plumbing components in a PEX system due to
these pressure surges is highly unlikely, although noise can sometimes result. Fortunately, there are
solutions to minimize or eliminate water hammer noise.
Clamping or strapping more frequently may help prevent tubing noise. It is very important that the
tubing not be in contact with wallboard, forced air ducts or other high resonance articles. Insufciently
or improperly clamped or strapped tubing may move during xture operation and hit against these
surfaces.
Install a water hammer arrester on xtures where noise is a problem. A water hammer arrester installed
within 6 ft. of the xture on the cold water side only will eliminate the source of the noise (the pressure
wave). It should be noted that even with an arrester, tubing that is clamped or strapped insufciently
may still hit against something as it moves slightly when the water ow is stopped.
Avoid operating xtures in such a way that causes near instantaneous shut off. Simply closing xtures
in a less abrupt manner can eliminate hammer noise.
CAUTION
Inlet ports are designed to allow for 1/2-inch copper tubing solder connection or 1/2-inch IPS threaded
coupling connection. For threaded connections, wrap thread seal tape around threaded ends before
connecting. If soldering connections, remove cartridges, seats, and springs. Connect water supply to
the pipe by soldering. Reassemble cartridges, seats, and springs. Heat damage to these parts may
occur and result in the warranty being void on these parts.
WARNING
• Follow these installation instructions carefully.
• Check local building codes before beginning installation to ensure compliance.

PREPARATION
Before beginning assembly of product, make sure all parts are present. Compare parts with package
contents list and above. If any part is missing or damaged, do not attempt to assemble the product.
Contact customer service for replacement parts.
Note: This guide is a general representation of the installation process. In the case of plumbing
products, every installation is essentially a custom installation and some adjustments may be required
for your specic application.
Estimated Assembly Time: 90 minutes
Tools Required for Assembly (not included): Safety Goggles, Adjustable Wrench, Thread Seal Tape,
Phillips Head Screwdriver, Channel-Lock Pliers.
• Prior to beginning installation, turn off the cold and hot water lines and turn on the old faucet to
release built-up pressure.
• When installing your new faucet, first, hand-tighten connector nuts. Then, use one wrench to hold
the fitting and a second wrench to tighten the nut an additional 1/4 turn. Connections that are too
tight will reduce the integrity of the system.
• This product is engineered to meet the EPA WaterSense flow requirement. The flow rate is
governed by the aerator or flow controller. If replacement is ever required, be sure to replace it with
a WaterSense compliant aerator or flow controller to retain the water conserving flow rate of this
product.
• This product might require to be installed with an automatic temperature compensating device to
reduce the risk of scalding and thermal shock. Check with the local plumbing code requirement
before installation. The product should be installed by the local licensed plumber.
• The shower shall be used with automatic compensating valve rated at 1.4 gpm(5.3 L/min) or less.
• If you use soldering for the installation of the faucet, the seats cartridges and washers will have to be
removed before using flame. Otherwise, warranty will be void on these parts.
