finished surface.
For a valve stem height between 1-13/16
″
(4.6 cm) and 2-1/8
″

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

NOTE:
The spline adapter allows fine adjustment of the handle
alignment. To adjust, remove the handle and reposition the spline
adapter.
