INSTALL HANDLES
Apply plumbers putty or other sealant to the underside of
the escutcheon according to the putty manufacturer’s
instructions. Thread the escutcheon onto the valve body.
Securely hand-tighten. Remove any excess putty or
sealant.
LEVER HANDLE
Measure the distance from top of valve stem to finished
surface. If valve stem height is 2-1/16” (5.2cm) to 2-5/16”
(5.9cm), remove the threaded sleeve and replace it with
the threaded adapter supplied with the faucet/handle trim.
Use brass spline adapter and screw when valve stem
height is between 1-13/16” (4.6cm) and 2-1/8” (5.4cm).
Use plastic spline adapter when valve stem height is
between 2-1/8” (5.4cm) and 2-5/16” (5.9cm).
If brass spline adapter is required, attach using the screw
supplied. Plastic spline adapter slides on with no other
attachment. Position the handle assemblies facing in
opposite directions away from the spout assembly. To
attain the proper alignment close the valve
(hot=clockwise, cold=counterclockwise). If the handles
are not properly aligned lift the handle off the spline
adapter and move the spline adapter one or two ridges
until the handle is properly aligned.
Tighten the handle by holding the escutcheon and
tightening the bonnet.
ACRYLIC HANDLE
Install the spline adapter. Turn the valve into the off
position (hot=clockwise, cold=counterclockwise).
Position the handle as shown in the second diagram. If
handle does not align properly remove the spline adapter,
turn it 1/4 turn and re-install. Repeat until proper handle
alignment is attained.
Insert the screw and washer and tighten. Push the cap
into place.
