7.) Adjust the wall plate depth, ensuring the front edge is flush with the finished wall.
The wall plate must be positioned flush with the finished wall for the nipple to seat
at the correct depth.
8.) Determine the nipple length required as follows:
a) Measure from the finished wall to the front edge of faceplate boss.
b) Add approximately 1"(3/4" min. - 1 3/8" max.) to the measured dimension, and
cut the open end of the nipple to the calculated dimension. For example, if the
finished wall to faceplate boss measurement is 6", cut the nipple to a length of
approximately 7".
c) De-burr and remove any sharp edges from the inside and outside of the cut
nipple.
d) Apply petroleum jelly to lubricate the O-ring inside the faceplate boss. Align the
the tabs on the nipple with the notches on the wall plate, and install the nipple
from the front.
e) Using the crossbar on the front of the nipple, lock the nipple in place by
rotating it 1/4 turn in either direction. The arrows on the nipple will be vertical
when the nipple is properly positioned.
Note: Carrier nipples may be extended up to 4" for wide chase applications
Beyond 4", an auxiliary support option QT-100-EXT is required. QT-100-
EXT ships with a 24" nipple which can be cut to length. Extended 5/8"
all thread rods are furnished by the installing contractor.
9.) Adjust the carrier mounting studs to extend approximately 2 1/4"(57) beyond the
finished wall. Adjust the back-up nuts flush with the finished wall, with the back-
up washers outside the wall. When properly positioned, the back-up washers
create a 1/16"(2) gap between the back of the bowl and the face of the finished
wall.
