Setup and Installation
This faucet is designed for bridge widespread wall-mounted installation with 2-hole faucet centers at 7 inches. A rough-in valve is included. Professional installation is recommended.
- Prepare the Installation Area: Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and structurally sound. Turn off the main water supply to the installation area.
- Install Rough-in Valve: Mount the included rough-in valve securely within the wall, ensuring it is properly aligned with the desired faucet centers (7 inches). Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the appropriate inlets on the rough-in valve.
- Attach Wall Couplers: Thread the 2-inch wall couplers onto the outlets of the rough-in valve, extending through the finished wall surface. Ensure they are flush and securely tightened.
- Mount the Faucet Body: Position the main faucet body onto the wall couplers. Secure the faucet body to the wall couplers using the provided nuts or fasteners. Ensure the faucet is level and firmly attached.
- Install Handles: Attach the cross handles to their respective valve stems on the faucet body. Tighten the set screws (if applicable) to secure them.
- Connect Hand Shower and Hose: Connect one end of the 60-inch hand shower hose to the designated outlet on the faucet body. Connect the other end of the hose to the hand shower head. Place the hand shower in its cradle.
- Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for leaks. If leaks are detected, tighten the connections carefully.
- Flush the System: Run both hot and cold water through the faucet and hand shower for a few minutes to flush out any debris from the water lines.

Maintenance
Proper care and cleaning will help maintain the finish and performance of your faucet.
- Cleaning the Finish: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the brushed nickel finish. Mild soap and water are generally sufficient.
- Cleaning the Hand Shower Nozzles: If water flow from the hand shower becomes restricted, mineral deposits may be blocking the nozzles. Gently rub the rubber nozzles to dislodge any buildup. For stubborn deposits, a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water can be used, applied with a soft cloth.
- Checking for Leaks: Periodically inspect all connections for any signs of leaks. Address any leaks promptly to prevent water damage.
