Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Installation Area: Ensure the floor where the faucet will be mounted is clean, level, and structurally sound. Identify the hot and cold water supply lines.
2. Install the Brass Tripod Base: Position the brass tripod base over the water supply lines. Mark the drilling points on the floor. Drill holes if necessary and secure the tripod base to the floor using the provided studs and nuts. Ensure the base is level and firmly attached.
3. Connect Water Hoses to Faucet Body: Attach the hot and cold water hoses to the corresponding inlets on the bottom of the faucet body. Use pipe sealant tape on the threads to ensure a watertight seal.

5. Connect Water Supply Lines: Connect the hot and cold water hoses from the faucet to your home's hot and cold water supply lines. Use an adjustable wrench to tighten connections, ensuring not to overtighten. Apply pipe sealant tape as needed.
6. Install Handheld Shower Head and Hose: Connect the shower hose to the designated outlet on the faucet body and then attach the handheld shower head to the other end of the hose.
7. Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for leaks. If any leaks are detected, turn off the water supply, tighten the connections, and re-test.

Care and Maintenance
