5.1 Pre-Installation Steps

• Turn off the main water supply to your home.
• Clear the installation area and ensure sufficient space around the bathtub.
• Inspect all components for any damage.

5.2 Installation Procedure

1. Prepare the Floor: Mark the desired location for the faucet on the floor. Ensure it is stable and level.
2. Install the Tripod Base: Secure the brass tripod base to the floor using the provided screws. This base provides stability for the faucet.
3. Connect Water Supply Lines: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines (3/8" connectors) to your existing water supply. Use Teflon tape on all threaded connections to ensure a watertight seal.
4. Attach Faucet Body: Carefully attach the main faucet body to the tripod base. Ensure the connections for the water supply lines are properly aligned and tightened.
5. Install Base Cover: Slide the decorative base cover over the faucet body to conceal the mounting hardware.
6. Connect Hand Shower: Attach the hand shower hose to the designated outlet on the faucet body.
7. Leak Test: Slowly turn on the main water supply and check all connections for leaks. Address any leaks immediately by tightening connections.

Note: It is crucial to perform a thorough leak test before completing the installation to prevent potential water damage. Consider installing a drip pan underneath the faucet base as an additional precaution against unnoticed leaks.

6.1 Main Faucet Operation

• Turn On/Off: Lift the single handle to turn on the water flow. Push down to turn off.

7. Maintenance

7.1 Cleaning the Faucet

• Clean the brushed nickel finish with a soft, damp cloth.
• Use mild soap and water if necessary.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
• Wipe the faucet dry after cleaning to prevent water spots.

7.2 Hand Shower Care

• After using the hand shower, allow any residual water to drain completely into the tub before placing it back in its holder. This helps prevent dripping onto the floor.
• Periodically check the hand shower hose for kinks or damage.

7.3 Ceramic Disc Cartridge

The faucet is equipped with a durable ceramic disc cartridge designed for long-lasting, reliable performance. No regular maintenance is typically required for the cartridge itself, but if leaks or persistent drips occur from the handle, the cartridge may need inspection or replacement by a qualified professional.
