WARNING: Cartridge NUT (6) must be properly torqued to prevent possible failure and/or water damage.
DIMENSIONS
NOTE: When fitting the handle it may be necessary to shorten Stem and/or All Thread to eliminate the gap between the handle & escutcheon.
- “A” = Stem overall length for Finished Wall
- “B” = All Thread overall length from Finished Wall
