Required Tools (Not Included):
- Adjustable Wrench
- Pipe Thread Sealant Tape (Teflon Tape)
- Phillips Head Screwdriver
- Safety Glasses
- Gloves
Installation Steps:
- Turn Off Water Supply: Locate the main water shut-off valve and turn off the water supply to the bathroom. Open nearby faucets to drain any remaining water from the lines.
- Prepare Mounting Surface: Ensure the tub wall has two pre-drilled holes with 3-3/8" centers, suitable for the faucet's mounting posts. Clean the area thoroughly.
- Install Faucet Body: Insert the threaded shanks of the faucet body through the mounting holes on the tub wall. Ensure any gaskets or rubber washers are correctly positioned between the faucet base and the tub wall to create a watertight seal.
- Secure Faucet: From the backside of the tub wall, thread the mounting nuts onto the threaded shanks and tighten them securely with an adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.
- Connect Water Lines: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the corresponding inlets on the faucet body. Use pipe thread sealant tape on all threaded connections to prevent leaks. Tighten connections firmly.
- Install Handles and Spout: Attach the hot and cold handles and the spout assembly according to the specific design of your faucet. Ensure they are properly aligned and secured.
- Test for Leaks: Slowly turn the main water supply back on. Check all connections for leaks. If leaks are detected, turn off the water supply, tighten the affected connections, and retest.
- Flush Faucet: Once installed and leak-free, open both hot and cold handles to flush any debris from the water lines.
Operating Instructions
Your Signature Hardware 329247 faucet features two handles for controlling water flow and temperature.
- Cold Water: Turn the right handle counter-clockwise to open the cold water supply.
- Hot Water: Turn the left handle counter-clockwise to open the hot water supply.
- Temperature Control: Adjust the hot and cold handles simultaneously to achieve the desired water temperature.
- Shut Off: Turn both handles clockwise until the water flow stops completely.
Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your faucet.
- Cleaning: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft, damp 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 cleaners, scouring pads, ammonia-based cleaners, or any cleaners containing bleach, acids, or alcohol, as these can damage the finish.
- Aerator Maintenance: If water flow becomes restricted, the aerator may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator from the spout, clean any debris, and rinse thoroughly before reattaching.
