ASSEMBLY
1. Determine length of brass NPT nipple (1)needed:

IMPORTANT: If shower arm is located above tile/fiberglass wall
surface you must add distance from sheetrock to face of tile/

NOTE: If supplied 2" nipple (1) is not correct length based on
above formula, you must obtain correct size NPT brass nipple
(sold separately), available at most hardware stores.

both ends of nipple (1).

tion. Turn diverter counterclockwise for hand shower, clockwise
for shower head. Position between for both functions.

the hanger and sliding up or down.
Always turn cold water on first to help prevent any accidental
burning or scalding; especially for children and elderly.
The Kauai II is equipped with Spray Straight™ technology in the
tips of the showerhead and hand shower. If the stream becomes
obstructed from mineral deposits, simply rub the soft tips with
your finger to loosen the deposits.
DO NOT use any part of the Kauai III Rain Shower System as a
support device.
