Installation Notes

Shut off the water supply at the stop valve or main before disassembling the faucet body. A licensed plumber should perform stem replacement in jurisdictions where plumbing work requires a permit. Use appropriate packing or seat tools to inspect and resurface the valve seat before installing the new stem. Do not overtighten the stem packing nut, as this can cause premature wear.
