8. Install Handles
NOTE:
There are different handle styles available for this product.
Only the sculpted handle is shown. Installation of all handle styles
is identical.
Remove the plaster guards from the hot and cold valves.
Measure the distance from the top of the valve stem to the finished
surface.
For a valve stem height between 1–13/16” (4.6cm) and 2–1/8”
(5.4cm) use a brass spline adapter and screw. For a valve stem
height between 2–1/8” (5.4cm) and 2–5/16” (5.9cm) use a plastic
spline adapter.
If the brass spline adapter is required, attach using the screw
supplied. The plastic spline adapter slides on with no attachment.
Thread the handle onto the valve body. Ensure that the splines in
the handle and spline adapter are engaged.
Position the handle assemblies facing in opposite directions away
from the spout.
NOTE:
The spline adapter allows fine adjustment of the handle
alignment. To adjust, unthread the handle and reposition the spline
adapter. Rethread the handle and check alignment. Repeat until
handle alignment is satisfactory.
