Widespread Lavatory Set
Installation Instructions
NOTICE: These instructions do not represent step-by-step directions. They
are a product supplement only to be used by a qualified/licensed plumber. We
recommend all plumbing fixtures be installed by a professional. PLEASE INSPECT
PRODUCT PRIOR TO INSTALLING.
Carefully review all pre-assembled parts. It will be necessary for the various
parts to be reassembled exactly as shown.
Spout Installation:
1. Allow 1-1/4″ hole in the deck. Remove the tee, mounting nut, and horseshoe
washer (for 3-way tees)
2. Drop the spout through the top of the deck and secure from underneath the
deck with the mounting nut. Replace the tee assembly. FIG A
Note: Please review your tee assembly carefully. Spout will not seal if improperly reassembled. The 4-way Tee Assembly is a compression-style fitting; verify that the Bottom Holding Nut is snugly tightened to complete the seal after installation is complete.

Supply Valve Installation:
3. Lavatory hot and cold supply valves require 1-1/4″ holes in the deck.
Handles are shipped pre-assembled to valves; remove the handle pieces and the
top locking nut to begin.
*Some escutcheons may be used as the top locking nut.
4. Install hot and cold valves from underneath the deck using locking nuts
and adjust the valve height so that Measurement A is as shown in the chart
found on page 2. Measurement A differs by handle selection. Valve bodies have
stickers to distinguish hot (red) from cold (blue). FIG B
5. Test the chosen height by temporarily placing the handle pieces over the
valve. After you have checked the fit, remove handle pieces and tighten the
locking nuts with a wrench.
6. Remount handle pieces. Handle should open and close in a 1/4 turn.
7. Connect the stainless steel braided hoses from the tee to the outlets of
the supply valves. **Carefully hand-tighten hose, as the use of grippers and
excessive force will break the seal. After flushing all lines, install the
connections from the angle stops to the supply valve inlets (plumber supplies
connections).

CAUTIONS!
Apply teflon tape to threaded areas if applicable. Be sure to check system for
leaks, testing valves and lines before closing the deck. Always flush lines of
debris. It may be necessary to flush more than once.
Do not force handle to close valve- if debris should clog the cartridge,
carefully flush (but do not disassemble) cartridge.
Use of any lead-based or acidic curing sealant will void the finish warranty.
Use only sealants which are neutral curing and not reactive with metal and
brass finishes.

CONSUMER WARNING
CALIFORNIA PROPOSTION 65 WARNING
Among other chemicals known to cause harm, this faucet contains lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.
All faucets and products made of leaded brass alloys, even those that comply with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations, contribute small amounts of lead to water that is allowed to stand in contact with the brass. This faucet complies with all E.P.A. regulations regarding the amount of lead used in plumbing brass and solder. The amount of lead contributed by any faucet is highest when the faucet is new. The following steps will reduce potential for exposure to lead from faucets and other parts of the plumbing system:
- Always run the water for a few seconds prior to use for drinking or cooking.
- Use only cold water for drinking or cooking.
- If you wish to flush the entire plumbing system of water that has been standing in the pipes or other fittings, run the cold water until the temperature of the water drops, indicating water coming from the outside main.
- If you are concerned about lead in your water, have your water tested.
