3. Operation
Once properly installed with the compatible valve rough and handles, operating your Delta Tetra Roman Tub Faucet is straightforward.
Basic Usage:
- Water Flow Control: Use the installed handles to control the water flow and temperature. Typically, one handle controls hot water and the other controls cold water, or a single lever handle controls both.
- Temperature Adjustment: Rotate or pivot the handles to achieve the desired water temperature.
- Spout Functionality: The fixed spout delivers water into the tub. Ensure the spout is positioned correctly over the tub basin.
Familiarize yourself with the specific operation of the handles you have selected, as functionality may vary slightly depending on the handle type (e.g., lever, cross, knob).

- Easy Cleaning: Lumicoat Finishes are designed to wipe clean easily without the need for harsh cleaners or chemicals.
- Resists Buildup: The finish is guaranteed to resist mineral buildup and hard water stains on the product's most commonly touched areas.
- Recommended Method: Simply wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn spots, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying with a soft cloth.
- Avoid: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, ammonia-based cleaners, bleach, or other harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish and void the warranty.
General Maintenance:
- Regularly check for any leaks around the base of the faucet or connections.
- Ensure handles are securely fastened. If they become loose, gently tighten the set screw (if applicable) according to the handle's instructions.
