2. Prepare the Site

Provide an access panel for all installations.
Allow for access to the connection between the shower
high-pressure hose and the shower interlock hose.
For easiest installation, do not install the bath unit until all
soldering (except supplies) is complete. Then install the bath and
connect the supplies.
If used, install the bath spout shank at this time according to the
spout installation instructions. If possible, do not install the
finished trim until all other installations and construction are
completed.
For spouts with a supply tee: Solder in an adapter and a 1/2"
copper tube. Cap to close the extra port.
Install the valve bodies according to the valve body installation
instructions.
Loosely secure the valve bodies.
Follow the handle installation instructions to temporarily
assemble the handles in order to adjust the valves to the proper
height before connecting the lines to the diverter or supply.
Use a wrench to loosen the cartridge assembly from the diverter
body. Continue to unthread the assembly to remove.
Set the assembly aside. Protect the seals and O-rings from
becoming dirty, damaged, or misaligned.
