- Install Escutcheon Plate: Position the escutcheon plate over the valve body, ensuring it is centered and flush against the wall. Secure it with the provided screws.
- Griff installieren: Attach the handle to the valve stem according to the manufacturer's instructions for the specific valve body (not included in this trim package). Secure with the set screw.
- Lücken abdichten: Apply a bead of silicone sealant around the shower arm flange, tub spout, and escutcheon plate where they meet the wall to prevent water penetration.
