INSTALL TILE (IF APPLICABLE)
Verify that there will be a 1” (2.5cm) to 1-1/2” (3.8cm)
distance from the top of the sleeve to the top of the tile.
If not, do not install tile due to improper valve installation.
If proper clearance exists, install tile up to plaster guards
on valves and spout supply tube.
NOTE: The final stem heights for both K-300 and K-301
valves are 1-13/16” (4.6cm) minimum to 2-5/16” (5.9cm)
maximum from the top of the valve to the top of the tile.
