4. Setup (Installation)
This section outlines the general steps for installing the PROFLO PF7611G Alvord Tub and Shower Trim Package. Ensure you have the necessary tools and that the main water supply is turned off before proceeding.
4.1 Tools Required
- Adjustable wrench
- Screwdriver (Phillips and/or flathead)
- Plumber's tape (thread seal tape)
- Caulk gun and silicone sealant
- Safety glasses
4.2 Installation Steps
- Turn Off Water Supply: Locate the main water shut-off valve for your home or the specific bathroom and turn it off.
- Prepare Existing Plumbing: If replacing an old trim, remove all existing components. Clean the wall area around the valve and pipes.
- Install Shower Arm and Flange: Apply plumber's tape to the threaded end of the shower arm. Thread the shower arm into the shower pipe in the wall. Hand-tighten, then tighten with a wrench until secure. Slide the shower arm flange against the wall.
- Attach Shower Head: Thread the shower head onto the shower arm. Hand-tighten, then use a wrench to snug it up, being careful not to overtighten.
- Install Tub Spout: Depending on your tub spout type (slip-on or threaded), either slide it onto the copper pipe and secure the set screw, or thread it directly onto the pipe. Ensure it is flush against the wall.
- Install Escutcheon Plate: Position the escutcheon plate over the valve body, ensuring it is centered and flush against the wall. Secure it with the provided screws.
- Install Handle: Attach the handle to the valve stem according to the manufacturer's instructions for the specific valve body (not included in this trim package). Secure with the set screw.
- Seal Gaps: Apply a bead of silicone sealant around the shower arm flange, tub spout, and escutcheon plate where they meet the wall to prevent water penetration.
- Turn On Water Supply: Slowly turn the main water supply back on and check for leaks at all connections.

The PROFLO PF7611G Alvord Tub and Shower Trim Package features a single handle for controlling both water flow and temperature.
- Turning On/Off: Lift the handle to turn on the water flow. Push the handle down to turn off the water flow.
- Adjusting Temperature: Rotate the handle counter-clockwise for hotter water and clockwise for colder water.
- Diverter (for Tub/Shower): Pull the knob on the tub spout to divert water flow from the tub spout to the shower head. Push it back down to return water flow to the tub spout.
6. Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your PROFLO PF7611G Alvord Tub and Shower Trim Package.
- Cleaning: Clean the chrome finish regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, ammonia-based cleaners, or any cleaners containing bleach, acids, or alcohol, as these can damage the finish.
- Shower Head Nozzles: If water flow from the shower head becomes restricted, gently rub the rubber nozzles to dislodge any mineral buildup. For stubborn buildup, the shower head may need to be soaked in a vinegar solution.
