Installation Considerations

• Inspect the product for shipping damage before installation.
• The rough #10452181 must be installed and the finished floor surface completed and made watertight before installing the trim.
• The handshower must be used with an automatically compensating valve rated at 1.3 GPM (4.9 L/min) or less.
• Maximum output temperature of the shower mixing valve must not exceed 120°F (49°C).

Installation Steps

1. Prepare the floor: Turn off the main water supply. Cut the plaster shield so it extends 3/8 inch (10 mm) above the finished floor surface. Remove the flush housing screws and the housing.
2. Position the faucet: Place the tub filler on the rough. Pivot it to the correct direction and ensure it is level. Install the screws.
3. Seal: Seal the floor around the plaster shield with waterproof sealant. Lower the escutcheon to the floor and turn the water supply back on.
4. Connect handshower: Place the black rubber hose washer in the short end of the hose and screw it to the handshower port on the valve. Place the screen washer in the long end of the hose and screw it to the handshower. Place the handshower in the holder.
5. Flush: Remove the aerator and flush the faucet for at least two minutes, then reinstall the aerator.

Hot Water Limiter Adjustment

To adjust the hot water limiter:

1. Remove the handle screw cover and loosen the screw using a 3 mm hex key.
2. Remove the handle.
3. Use pliers to remove the limiter ring.
4. Adjust the ring to the desired temperature setting based on the markings (e.g., 122°F/50°C, 131°F/55°C, 140°F/60°C).
5. Reinstall the ring and the handle.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning: Clean the product when mineral scale or soap residue builds up. Do not use abrasive cleaners, steam cleaners, or cleaning agents containing hydrochloric, formic, or acetic acid. Spray cleaners should be applied to a soft cloth, not directly on the product.

Aerator Cleaning: Remove the aerator using a 1.5 mm hex key, clean it, and reinstall.

Check Valve Maintenance: If flow is restricted, check valves may need maintenance. Ensure the water is off, remove the handshower hose, and inspect/clean the check valve components.
