• Insert the inlet end of the spout shank into the faucet outlet port.
• Secure the spout shank using the three provided screws.
• Apply plumbers putty or other sealant to the back surface of the spout escutcheon according to the putty manufacturer’s instructions. Press the spout escutcheon firmly against the finished wall.
• Slide the spout onto the spout shank, position as desired, and tighten the setscrew to secure the spout in place.
• Remove any excess putty or sealant.

2. Install the Handles

• Determine the thickness of the finished wall.
• If the finished wall is less than 5/8″ (1.6 cm) thick, use the supplied hardware kit numbered 1031092.
• If the finished wall is 5/8″ (1.6 cm) to 1-1/4″ (3.2 cm) thick, use the supplied hardware kit numbered 1031091.

• Thread a threaded sleeve onto the valve body.
• Thread a sleeve extension onto the threaded sleeve.
• Apply plumbers putty or other sealant to the back of the escutcheon according to the putty manufacturer’s instructions.

• Repair as needed.
• Remove the aerator.
