1. Prepare the Site

X = the distance from the centerline of the spout inlet base to the
front of the spout base plus 1/2" (2.5 cm).
Y = the distance between the valve centerlines varies. Check the
handle and spout installation instructions for exact dimensions.
Install or relocate the water supplies as needed.
Protect the surfaces of the bath/deck during installation.
Ensure that holes drilled into the deck are not oversized. The
spout and valves require adequate base material strength and
maximum contact area with the deck.
NOTE: Reinforcing material may be required if the deck or rim is
thin. Install 1/2" exterior grade plywood before proceeding.
NOTE: For installations to be covered with tile, the tile thickness
must not exceed 1-1/4" (3.2 cm).
For installations with 8" (20.3 cm) centers using copper tubing
(1/2" nominal, 5/8" OD), cut two 2-7/8" (7.3 cm) pieces and one
2-3/8" (6 cm) piece of tubing.
