Installation Considerations
• For best results, Hansgrohe recommends that this
unit be installed by a licensed, professional plumber.
• Please read over these instructions thoroughly
before beginning installation. Make sure that you
have all tools and supplies needed to complete the
installation.
This trim is for use with rough valve

must be finished and made watertight before
installation of this trim kit.
• This unit is not anti-scald. In Massachusetts, or
if required by local plumbing code, install an
approved remote pressure balance valve or other
approved anti-scald device.
• Protection against backflow is provided by a
check valve in the handshower hose and by an
automatically resetting diverter.
