2. Install the Handles

NOTE: If the finished wall is less than 5/8" (1.6 cm) thick, no spline adapter will be used with the installation.

□ Determine the thickness of the finished wall.
☐ If the finished wall is less than 5/8" (1.6 cm) thick, use the 1" (2.5 cm) long stem extension, 7/8" (2.2 cm) long screw, and the 2" (5.1 cm) long threaded sleeve.
☐ If the finished wall is 5/8" (1.6 cm) to 1-1/4" (3.2 cm) thick, use the 1038270 hardware kit supplied.
☐ If applicable, slide a spline adapter onto the stem extension.
☐ Place a stem extension on the valve stem. Secure with the screw provided.
☐ Thread a threaded sleeve onto the valve body.
□ Apply plumbers putty or other sealant to the back of the escutcheon according to the putty manufacturer's instructions.
☐ Thread an escutcheon onto the threaded sleeve. Remove any excess putty or sealant.
☐ Press a handle over the stem extension and move the handle to the closed position (Hot = Counterclockwise, Cold = Clockwise). Lever handles should be horizontal when closed.

Install the Handles (cont.)

☐ If adjustment is needed to achieve the desired handle alignment, remove the handle, screw and spline adapter or stem extension. Turn the spline adapter 1/4 turn. Check the handle position. Repeat the procedure until the proper handle position is achieved. Secure with the screw.
☐ Thread the handle assembly onto the escutcheon. To maintain the proper handle alignment, hold the handle in place with one hand and turn the base of the handle with the other hand.
☐ Repeat the procedures with the second handle.

☐ Ensure that both faucet handles are turned off (hot = counterclockwise to close, cold = clockwise to close).
□ Turn on the water supplies and check the installation for leaks.
□ Repair as needed.
□ Remove the aerator.
☐ Open the valves and run water through the spout for about a minute to remove any debris. Check for leaks.
□ Remove all debris from the aerator.
