Remove the plaster guards.
Measure the distance from the top of the valve stem to the
finished surface.
For a valve stem height between 1-13/16
″
(4.6 cm) and 2-1/8
″
(5.4
cm) use a brass spline adapter and screw. For a valve stem height
between 2-1/8
″
(5.4 cm) and 2-5/16
″
(5.9 cm) use a plastic spline
adapter.
If the brass spline adapter is required,
slide the spline adapter
onto the valve stem and attach with the screw.
If the plastic spline adapter is required,
slide the spline adapter
onto the valve stem.
Position the handle assemblies facing in opposite directions away
from the spout.
Thread the handle onto the valve body. Make sure the splines in
the handle and stem extension are engaged.
NOTE:
The spline adapter allows fine adjustment of the handle
alignment. To adjust, remove the handle and reposition the spline
adapter.
Align the handle.
Reinstall the handle and check alignment.
