Installation Guide for Hansgrohe Locarno Diverter Tub Spout 04814XX0 and 04815XX0

Quick guide from the manual

This document provides installation and maintenance instructions for the Hansgrohe Locarno diverter tub spouts, models 04814XX0 and 04815XX0. Hansgrohe recommends that installation be performed by a licensed, professional plumber.

Important Compatibility Note: Model 04815XX0 is designed for use with a pressure balance valve only. Do not use this model with a thermostatic mixing valve or the Hansgrohe Pressure Balance Valve with 2-Way Diverter.

Installation Considerations

Before beginning, ensure you have all necessary tools and supplies. The installation requires a 1/2" NPT or 3/4" NPT pipe fitting, which must be recessed 3/8" (10 mm) behind the surface of the finished wall.

• Tools Required: Plumber's tape, Allen wrench (7/16" or 8mm depending on the model).
• Preparation: Loosen the screw on the spout and remove the mounting piece.

Installation Steps

The installation process is similar for both 1/2" and 3/4" NPT connections:

1. Ensure the pipe fitting is recessed 3/8" (10 mm) behind the finished wall.
2. Wrap the threads on the nipple with plumber's tape.
3. Install the mounting piece onto the pipe fitting.
4. Tighten the mounting piece using the appropriate Allen wrench (7/16" for 04815XX0 or 8mm for 04814XX0).

Sealing and Finishing

Proper sealing is critical to prevent water damage behind the wall.

• Seal the wall around the mounting piece using waterproof sealant.
• Failure to seal the wall may result in water damage.
• Install the spout onto the mounting piece and tighten the screw to secure it.

Cleaning and Maintenance

To maintain the finish and functionality of your Hansgrohe product:

• Clean the product when needed to prevent mineral scale and soap residue buildup.
• Use a cleaning agent specifically intended for the product type.
• Do not use: Cleaners containing hydrochloric acid, formic acid, lye, or acetic acid; abrasive powders, pads, or brushes; steam cleaners; or "no-rinse" cleaning agents.
• Application: Do not spray cleaners directly onto the product. Spray the cleaner onto a soft cloth or sponge, then wipe the product.
• Rinse thoroughly with clear water and polish dry with a soft cloth after cleaning.
