INSTALLATION
How to Install the Faucet
To perform installation, installer must provide G1/2˝ female supply fittings,
spaced 150mm apart and horizontally. The supply fittings should be
vertical and not beyond the finished wall. Hot supply pipe must be located
on the left.
Flush the water supply pipes thoroughly to remove debris.
Use appropriate thread sealants or thread tape on the threads of offset
connectors(1). Install two offset connectors into hot and cold supply pipes.
Adjust the center-to-center distance between the connectors to 150mm
and horizontally. They should extend 33 to 43mm beyond the finished
wall. Put the washers(2) into supply nuts(3) of the faucet. Apply a ring of
putty on back of the escutcheons(4). Install the escutcheons onto the
supply nuts. Thread the supply nuts onto the connectors and tighten by
strap wrench.
Push the escutcheons until against the finished wall. Remove any excess
putty.
