Installing the Faucet Handles

Install the rubber gasket into the faucet handle aligning the flat of the gasket with the projection from the handle, then aligning the flat surface on the stem with the flat inside handle, place the handle onto the stem of the faucet valve.

Insert the #10-24 x 3/8" L stainless steel PHPM screw (provided) through the handle and gasket into the valve stem and tighten.

Rotate handles clockwise to the end of travel. Push in inserts with dots oriented toward the outer

edge of the bath rim, red dot indicating hot water and blue dot indicating cold water. The notch in the insert must align with the ribs on the inside of the handles for flush engagement. (See illustra- tion I.)

Plumbing Connections

Note: Turn off water at main shut-off valve before making plumbing connections to supply lines.

Connect the water line from the hot and cold valve to the threaded pipe extension of the fill spout per illustration G or H. Use Teflon tape or thread seal- ant designed for use on plastics. Do not use oil base thread compounds.

For bath fill spout only applications, refer to the suggested plumbing schemes G for separated valves and H for paired valves. If a rim or wall mounted shower is installed, a transfer or mixer valve will be required. Three variations are shown in illustration J (standard shower), K (rim mounted or hand held), and L (shower with anti-siphon valve if required by code.

If local plumbing codes require the installation of an anti-siphon valve, locate the anti-siphon valve 6" above the rim of the bath in a vertical position over a waterproof surface or fixture to allow for any possible water leakage through the air vent. The valve must be exposed and have access for service.

Operation

Check for proper operation of the fill spout. Always fill the bath with a mixture of hot and cold water. Wa- ter temperatures in excess of 140° F may damage the fill spout and/or discolor the bath's surface.

Faucet Kit specifications

The Jacuzzi Faucet Kit is an essential component of a luxurious bathroom experience, designed to elevate the convenience and style of your water fixtures. This kit typically includes a range of faucets, handles, and spouts that can seamlessly blend into a modern or classic bathroom decor.

One of the main features of the Jacuzzi Faucet Kit is the availability of various styles and finishes.

Additionally, many kits offer different spout designs and handle types, allowing for customization that meets personal preferences.

Technologically, the kit often incorporates advanced water-saving features. Many models utilize aerator technology, which introduces air into the water stream to reduce flow without sacrificing pressure. This not only conserves water but also promotes sustainability, aligning with modern eco-friendly practices.

Another characteristic of the Jacuzzi Faucet Kit is its durability. Crafted from high-quality materials like solid brass and stainless steel, these faucets withstand daily usage while resisting corrosion and tarnishing. This ensures longevity and a consistent appearance over years of use.

Ease of installation is another hallmark of the Jacuzzi faucet collection. The kits typically come with detailed instructions and essential mounting hardware, making the installation process straightforward for both DIY enthusiasts and professional plumbers. Some models even feature a quick-connect system, simplifying the setup without compromising stability.

Moreover, the technology behind the faucet's internal mechanisms often includes ceramic disc cartridges that provide smooth operation. This results in fewer leaks and maintenance issues, as these cartridges are designed to withstand wear over time.

Lastly, the Jacuzzi Faucet Kit often adheres to stringent water quality standards, ensuring that your water remains clean and safe. Many faucets in the kit are also compliant with local plumbing codes and certifications, providing peace of mind for homeowners concerned about health and safety.

In summary, the Jacuzzi Faucet Kit enhances both functionality and aesthetics within the bathroom.
