Installation Considerations

Save time and frustration: plan the installation of both the faucet and the lavatory carefully.

For best results, this unit should be installed by a licensed, professional plumber.

Flush the hot and cold supply lines thoroughly, according to these installation instructions. Damage to the valve cartridge caused by debris is not covered by the Hansgrohe warranty.

The cartridge comes in the box with the trim kit. The rough is equipped with a flush insert that will allow the unit to be pressurized while preventing cross flow.

This rough must be completed with a suitable trim kit.

No drain is included with either this rough or the trim kit. Contact the manufacturer of the lavatory for their recommendations regarding suitable drains.

Tool suggested for installation (not included): socket wrench with 17 mm and 27 mm deep sockets

Positioning the Rough

The intended spout should reach far enough into the bowl so that the water hits just ahead of or just behind the drain (to minimize splashing).

The rough should be placed high enough on the wall so that the end of the spout is above the flood level of the sink. Many municipalities require an air gap of at least one inch between the end of the spout and the flood level of the sink -- know and follow all applicable local codes regarding the air gap.
