Installation Instructions
This section provides general guidelines for installing your WOODBRIDGE F0020 freestanding tub filler. Specific details may vary based on your plumbing setup. Professional installation is recommended.
1. Pre-Installation

- Turn Off Water Supply: Locate the main water shut-off valve and turn off the water supply to your bathroom.
- Prepare Mounting Surface: Ensure the floor where the faucet will be mounted is clean, level, and structurally sound to support the faucet and water lines. The faucet requires two holes for mounting, 8 inches center to center.
2. Faucet Assembly and Mounting
- Attach the brass tubes to the bottom of the faucet body.
- Position the faucet over the pre-drilled holes in the floor.
- Secure the faucet to the floor using the provided mounting hardware and base cover set. Ensure the faucet is stable and level.

3. Water Line Connections
- Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the corresponding inlets on the faucet body. Use thread sealant tape on all threaded connections to prevent leaks.
- Connect the hand shower hose to the designated outlet on the faucet body.
4. Final Checks and Testing
- Once all connections are secure, slowly turn on the main water supply.
- Check all connections for leaks. Tighten any leaking connections as necessary.
- Operate the faucet and hand shower to ensure proper function and water flow.
Operation
The WOODBRIDGE F0020 faucet features a main spout for filling the tub and a hand shower for rinsing.
Using the Main Spout
To fill your tub, turn the hot and cold cross handles to achieve the desired water temperature and flow. The main spout provides a high flow rate for quick tub filling.

Using the Hand Shower
To use the hand shower, divert the water flow from the main spout to the hand shower by operating the diverter knob or lever on the faucet body. The hand shower is ideal for rinsing the tub or personal rinsing after a bath.

Maintenance and Care
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your WOODBRIDGE F0020 faucet.
- Cleaning: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry immediately to prevent water spots.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the matte black finish.
- Prevent Mineral Buildup: In areas with hard water, wipe down the faucet after each use to minimize mineral deposits. For stubborn deposits, use a solution of white vinegar and water, applied with a soft cloth, then rinse and dry.
- Hand Shower Nozzles: Periodically clean the hand shower nozzles to remove any mineral buildup that may affect spray performance.
