- connect the flexible hoses to the tee. Tighten to avoid the
leakage.
- Connect and tighten the Inlet hoses to the supply lines.
- After the connections have been made, turn on the water supply
and check for leakages at all joints. If water leaks from any of the
connections tighten the connection until the leakage stops.
- If no leakage, turn the handles to the full open position and let the
water flush for about 45 seconds. This can prevent damages to the
ceramic cartridges caused by debris in the supply line.
- During the flushing, check for leakage at the connecting joints and
repeat step 3 if necessary.
