Installation Notes

A licensed plumber or qualified technician should shut off the water supply at the fixture stop or main shutoff before disassembling the faucet stem. Relieve line pressure by opening the faucet before removing the stem nut. Standard plumber hand tools are typically sufficient for stem replacement; avoid overtightening packing nuts to prevent premature wear on new components. Work performed on potable water fixtures must conform to applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines.
