Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or a knowledgeable DIYer following local IPC plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply at the fixture stop valves or the main shutoff before disassembling the faucet handle and packing nut. Use an appropriately sized stem wrench or deep socket to remove the old stem and seat the replacement without cross-threading. Inspect the faucet seat for wear before reinstalling and restore water pressure only after all fittings are fully reassembled.
