4. Setup and Installation
This section provides general guidelines for installing the Grohe 13372000 S-shaped Tubular Spout. Specific installation steps may vary depending on your existing faucet body and plumbing setup. Professional installation is recommended.
- Prepare the Installation Area: Turn off the main water supply to the faucet. Clear the area around the faucet for easy access.
- Remove Old Spout (if applicable): If replacing an existing spout, carefully remove it according to its manufacturer's instructions. Clean any residue from the faucet body.
- Inspect Components: Ensure all parts of the new spout are present and undamaged.
- Install the Spout: Carefully align the new Grohe spout with the faucet body. Depending on the design, it may twist on, slide into place, or require a retaining nut. Ensure any O-rings or gaskets are properly seated to create a watertight seal.
- Secure Connections: Tighten any retaining nuts or screws by hand, then use a wrench for a final snug turn. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the spout or faucet body.
- Check Water Pressure: Ensure your water pressure is within acceptable limits for optimal performance.

- Adjust water temperature and flow rate using your faucet's controls.
- Ensure the spout is clear of obstructions for optimal water stream.

- Cleaning: Clean the spout regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive sponges, scouring pads, or cleaners containing alcohol, ammonia, bleach, or other harsh chemicals, as these can damage the Grohe StarLight chrome finish.
