Fixtures Installation

1. Drill through the porcelain tile with a hammer drill (figure A). Start the hole without the hammer setting on to avoid scratching the surface of the tile. Once you've got a pilot hole, switch it back on.

2. Tap the provided anchors into place (figure B).

3. Place a strip of Teflon tape on the pipe and add the valve nut with a hex key (figure C).

4. The shower arm goes directly onto the valve nut and gets secured with screws. The cover plate then just snaps right on (figure D).

5. Remove the temporary cover for the thermostatic control valve and screw on the plastic plate (figure E).

6. Snap the finished cover plate over the plastic one (figure F), then attach the thermostatic valve.

7. Add the handles (figure G) and tighten with an allen wrench.
