Tub Spout Installation
The bathtub spout is designed for a high flow rate to quickly fill your tub. It comes with a copper pipe. Ensure your wall's copper pipe meets the specified length requirements (Min. Length 1-1/2", Max. Length 2-7/8") for proper fitment with the 1/2" NPT brass adapter.

Operation
3-Handle Control
The three handles allow for easy adjustment of water flow and temperature. One handle controls the hot water, another for cold water, and the third acts as a diverter for the shower functions.
Dual Shower Head with Diverter
This set includes a dual shower head system with a 3-way water diverter. You can use the fixed shower head, the handheld shower, or both simultaneously. The angle-adjustable overhead bracket allows for flexible positioning of the handheld shower holder, accommodating various user heights and preferences.

Maintenance
Flow Restrictor Removal (Optional)
If your current water pressure is too low, you may remove the flow restrictor from the shower head to increase water flow. This is an optional step and should only be performed if desired.

Ensure the handheld shower is securely fitted into its holder. The shower holder screw has been tightened for safety. If your installer adjusts this screw, ensure it is not too loose after installation.
Troubleshooting
- Low Water Pressure: Check if the flow restrictor is installed. Removing it (as described in the Maintenance section) can increase water flow. Ensure your home's main water supply has adequate pressure.
- Leaks: Verify all connections are tightened properly. Use plumber's tape on threaded connections. If leaks persist from the valve body, consult a professional plumber.
- Temperature Control Issues: Ensure hot and cold water lines are connected correctly to the valve. If the temperature is inconsistent, the valve cartridge may need inspection by a professional.
- Diverter Malfunction: If the diverter does not switch between shower modes smoothly, check for any obstructions or debris.
