5. INSTALL TILE (IF APPLICABLE)
Verify that there will be a 1-1/4” (3.2cm) distance from the
top of the sleeve to the top of the tile. If not, do not install
the tile due to improper valve installation.
If proper clearance exists, install tile up to the plaster
guards on the valves and the spout supply tube.
