WARNING: Risk of personal injury. Do not use the spout as a
grab bar or seat.
Install a 1/2" nominal (5/8" O.D.) hard copper tubing. It must
extend from 1-1/4" (3.2 cm) to 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) beyond the
finished wall. If the tubing will be installed first, install a longer
tube that can be cut to the proper length once the wall is finished.
NOTE: The inside and outside surfaces of the tubing must be free of
burrs. Protect the tubing from deep scratches, dents, kinks, bends,
plaster, etc. The tubing edge must not be rolled inward from a dull
tubing cutter.
Insert the O-ring into the inlet hole.
Insert the retainer into the inlet hole with the retainer tab fitting
into tab on the spout.
Apply a bead of silicone or latex caulk around the inlet of the
spout. Do not use oil based caulk or putty.
Back off the setscrew to allow for entrance of the supply tube.
Carefully turn the spout onto the previously installed copper tube
so the setscrew faces up. Tighten the setscrew until it contacts the
copper tube, then back it off 1/2 turn.
Turn the spout upright against the wall and tighten the setscrew
securely, without the use of additional tools. Do not reposition
the spout after tightening the setscrew.
