Before installing, read entire shower set installation instructions. Observe all local building and safety codes.
For the following installation instructions for your new shower set it is assumed that the water supply lines are in place
behind the finished wall and are directly accessible for installation.
Unpack and inspect shower system for any shipping damages. If you find any damages, do not install. Contact

We recommend consulting a professional if you are unfamiliar with installing bathroom fixtures and plumbing. Signature
Hardware accepts no liability for any damages to the floor, walls, plumbing or personal injury during installation.
INSTALLATION
1. Install the valve body as shown in the installation diagram (pg. 2). Wrap the threaded portion of the joints in Teflon tape
and connect the water inlet and outlet. Make sure that hot water pipe is on the left and the cold water pipe is on the
right. The distance between pipe center and finished wall is 1"-2".
Important
: Flush the water supply pipes to remove
any dirt or debris before installing the valve body.
2. Plug the shower inlet and the spout inlet. Turn on the water supply and open the cartridge. Make sure that no leakage
occurs.
Note
: Because the shower system has a built-in valve, test the water pressure after the pipe connections have
been made and before the finished wall material is installed.
3. Put the protective cover on the valve body and finish the shower wall.
4. When the finished wall is complete, remove the protective cover and install the escutcheon. Install the handle and
tighten with the M5 screw. Insert the plug.
5. Attach the shower arm escutcheon to the shower arm. Wrap the threaded portion of the shower arm with Teflon tape
and connect it to the shower inlet. Adjust the direction of the water flow as needed. Attach the rainfall shower head to
the shower arm.
6. Turn on the water supply and open the faucet valves. Check for any leaks and verify that the hot and cold supplies
are working correctly. Let the water flow through the riser pipe for approximately 30 seconds to clear out debris and
dirt.
