Installation (Setup)
Pre-Installation Steps
- Shut off the main water supply to the bathroom.
- Clear the installation area and ensure you have adequate space to work.
- Inspect the tub filler and all components for any visible damage.
Mounting the Faucet Body
- The faucet is designed for a 3-3/8 inch center-to-center spread wall-mount installation. Ensure your tub or wall has the appropriate two holes for mounting.
- Apply plumber's putty or silicone sealant around the base of the faucet body where it will meet the mounting surface to create a watertight seal.
- Insert the threaded shanks of the faucet body through the mounting holes.
- From the backside of the mounting surface, secure the faucet body using the provided washers and mounting nuts. Hand-tighten first, then use an adjustable wrench to gently tighten, ensuring the faucet is level and stable. Do not overtighten.
Connecting Water Lines
- Apply thread seal tape to the threaded ends of your hot and cold water supply lines.
- Connect the hot water supply line to the inlet marked 'H' (Hot) and the cold water supply line to the inlet marked 'C' (Cold) on the faucet body.
- Tighten all connections securely with an adjustable wrench.
Installing the Hand Shower
- Attach the hand shower hose to the designated outlet on the faucet body. Ensure the washer is properly seated to prevent leaks.
- Secure the hand shower cradle to the faucet body or an adjacent wall mount point as desired.
- Connect the hand shower head to the other end of the hose.
Final Testing
- Slowly turn on the main water supply.
- Check all connections for leaks. If leaks are present, gently tighten the connections until they stop.
- Turn on both hot and cold water to flush the lines and check for proper operation of the faucet and hand shower.

Operating Instructions
Using the Faucet
- The faucet features two porcelain handles labeled 'Hot' and 'Cold'. Turn the respective handle a quarter turn to open or close the water flow.
- Rotate the 'Hot' handle counter-clockwise to increase hot water flow and clockwise to decrease.
- Rotate the 'Cold' handle counter-clockwise to increase cold water flow and clockwise to decrease.
- Adjust both handles to achieve the desired water temperature and flow from the tub spout.
Using the Hand Shower
- To divert water to the hand shower, locate the diverter knob or lever on the faucet body and activate it.
- The hand shower has a maximum flow rate of 2.0 GPM (7.6 LPM) at 80 PSI.
- Ensure the hand shower is properly seated in its cradle when not in use.
Care and Maintenance
Cleaning the Finish
- The polished chrome finish is durable and resistant to tarnishing and corrosion.
- Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap and water.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Rinse thoroughly after cleaning and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
General Maintenance
- Periodically check all connections for tightness. If handles become loose, gently tighten the set screws located on the underside of the handles.
- The 1/4 turn ceramic disc cartridges are designed for long-lasting, drip-free performance. If a drip occurs, the cartridge may need to be replaced. Consult a plumber or the manufacturer for replacement parts.
- Clean the hand shower nozzles regularly to remove mineral buildup and maintain optimal spray performance.
