4. Setup and Installation
This section outlines the general steps for installing the deck-mounted tub set. Specific details may vary based on your tub and plumbing configuration. If you are unsure about any step, consult a qualified plumber.
- Prepare the Installation Area: Ensure the tub deck has the necessary pre-drilled holes for the spout, handles, and hand shower diverter. Clean the surface thoroughly.
- Turn Off Water Supply: Locate the main water shut-off valve and turn off the water supply to the bathroom. Open nearby faucets to relieve pressure.
- Install Handles:
- Insert the hot and cold handle assemblies through their respective holes on the tub deck.
- From underneath the deck, secure each handle with the provided washers and mounting nuts. Hand-tighten, then use a wrench for a final snug fit, being careful not to overtighten.
- Install Spout:
- Place the spout assembly through the central hole on the tub deck.
- Secure the spout from underneath with the provided mounting hardware. Ensure the spout is properly aligned before tightening.
- Install Hand Shower Diverter and Hose:
- Insert the hand shower diverter assembly into its designated hole.
- Secure it from underneath with the mounting nut.
- Connect the hand shower hose to the diverter outlet and to the hand shower head. Ensure all connections are sealed with plumber's tape or thread sealant as appropriate.
- Connect Water Lines:
- Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the corresponding inlets on the handle assemblies.
- Connect the mixed water outlet from the handles to the spout inlet and the hand shower diverter inlet.
- Ensure all connections are tight and leak-free.
- Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for leaks. If leaks are detected, turn off the water, tighten the connection, and retest.
- Flush the System: Once installed and leak-free, turn on both hot and cold water to flush out any debris from the lines. Operate the hand shower to flush it as well.
5. Operating Instructions
The Phylrich K2105L1_024 tub set is designed for intuitive operation.
- Water Flow and Temperature:
- To turn on the water, rotate the hot (left) and cold (right) handles.
- Adjust the handles to achieve the desired water flow and temperature.
- Diverting to Hand Shower:
- Once water is flowing from the tub spout, activate the hand shower by pulling up or rotating the diverter knob/lever located on the hand shower assembly.
- To return water flow to the tub spout, push down or rotate the diverter back to its original position.
- Turning Off: Rotate both hot and cold handles to the off position.
