7. Install Spout
Wrap a towel around the pipe plug and carefully remove it.
Remove the plaster guard from the spout supply tube.
Cut off the spout supply tube 1–1/4" (3.2cm) above the rim, finished deck
or tile.
Ensure that all burrs are removed from the supply tube.
NOTE: If your installation is on a tile-covered rough deck, slide a brass
washer, flat side facing forward, onto the supply tube. The brass washer is
supplied with the spout. This washer is not needed for rim/finished deck
installations.
Loosen the setscrews in the sleeve. Use a twisting motion to install the
sleeve on the spout supply tube until it contacts the washer.
Align the sleeve so the setscrews are not facing directly forward or
backward and tighten the setscrews.
If supplied, position the decorative ring over the sleeve so it rests on the
washer.
Apply a ring of plumbers putty or other sealant around the underside of
the spout according to the manufacturer's instructions.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Use care when installing the spout
to prevent damage to the O-ring seal on the sleeve.
Install the spout onto the sleeve and carefully press down until the spout
base contacts the deck, rim or tile.
Align the spout and tighten the setscrew. If included, press the plug button
into the setscrew hole.
