Install Sweat Solder Adapter Fig | American Standard 6063.505

1INSTALL SWEAT SOLDER ADAPTER; Fig. 3

CAUTION	Turn water supplies off
	before beginning

Note: Install Optional Sweat Solder Adapter (Supplied) for copper pipe supply line. Fig. 3.

1.Measure the distance (A) from the finished wall to the center of the inlet spud on the fixture.

2.Cut the supply pipe 1-1/4" (A-B=C) shorter then the measurement taken in Step 1. File any rough edges off the end of the supply pipe.

3.Clean the end of the supply pipe. Push the threaded Adapter on until it is seated against the internal stop. Sweat the Adapter to the pipe.

2INSTALL COVER TUBE, WALL

ESCUTCHEON and SUPPLY STOP; Fig. 4

1. Measure from finished wall to first thread of Adapter

or threaded supply pipe (dimension “X”). Cut COVER

TUBE (1) to length (X). Apply Teflon Tape to the

threaded end of the Adapter or supply pipe. Fig. 4a.

2. Push the COVER TUBE (1) into the WALL

ESCUTCHEON (2). Slide both onto the SUPPLY PIPE

(3). Fig. 4b.

3. Push the COVER TUBE (1) in to expose the threads

of the supply pipe. Fig. 4c. With a wrench thread the

SUPPLY STOP (4) onto the SUPPLY PIPE (3). Align

and tighten. Fig. 4c.

4. Pull COVER TUBE (1) against SUPPLY STOP (4)

and push WALL ESCUTCHEON (2) against finished

wall.

3INSTALL DOWN TUBE AND VACUUM BREAKER; Fig. 5

1.Place the SPUD FLANGE (1) over the spud on the Fixture.

2.Thread SPUD COUPLING NUT (2) onto Spud. Make sure SEAL WASHER (3) and FRICTION WASHER (4) are installed. Do not tighten fully.

3.Insert the DOWN TUBE (5) into the SPUD COUPLING NUT (2) and push it down.

Note: If cutting Down Tube (5) to size, note that Critical Line (C/L) on Vacuum Breaker must typically be 6" (152mm) above fixture. Consult

Code for details.
