    3. From below, place a plastic washer with a rubber seal and thread on the nut. This will get tightened later.

    4. Determine the exact placement for the hot/cold faucet valves. Drill relative size holes again with the hole saw attachment.

    5. From below, feed up the cold and hot faucet valves. On top, add the rubber washer and thread on the lock nuts (figure K). The finish pieces screw on the nut (figure L).

    6. The faucet handles snap down (figure M). Finally, tighten them with an Allen wrench.

    Shower Fixtures

    1. Place a foam faceplate gasket, which will create the watertight seal on the tile.

    2. Slide on the cartridge sleeve and set the faceplate over the stem.

    3. There are holes in the diverter to receive the finished, chrome screws. Tighten the screws until the faceplate is flat against the wall.

    4. Screw on the lever handle adapter and slide on the lever (figure N).

    Sink Fixtures

    1. Drop the water supply lines through the pre-drilled hole in the glass vanity top.

    2. Add the washers and nut and tighten with a crescent wrench.

    3. Finally, attach and tighten the water supply lines with a crescent wrench (figure O).

    Washer/Dryer Installation

    1. With the water, electrical, venting and draining in place move the washer and dryer into place.

    2. Keep the washer and dryer six inches away from the wall to make the final connections.

    3. Remove the knock-out seal for the drain.

    4. Run the drain hose down into the drain.

    5. Connect the water supply lines to and from the washer.

    6. Turn the water on, check for leaks and move the washer into place.

    7. Hook up the dryer vent (figure P).

    8. The finished bathroom is beautiful (figure Q)!
