Measure and note the distance "X" from the end of the
escutcheons to the finished wall.
Remove the escutcheons.
Remove the pipe nipples and measure their length.
Subtract distance "X" from the length of the pipe nipples. Discard
the pipe nipples and replace them with ones of proper length.
Apply sealant tape to both ends of the pipe nipples, then insert
the pipe nipples into the elbows.
IMPORTANT! If you are mounting the escutcheons to an uneven
surface (such as tile grout lines), apply a suitable sealant to the
backside of the escutcheons. Do not use petroleum based sealant.
Thread the escutcheons onto the pipe nipples.
NOTE: Be careful not to damage the finish on the escutcheons when
tightening.
Tighten the escutcheons with a 7/8" deep socket or 7/8"
open-end box wrench.
Ensure the escutcheons are aligned and level with one another.
Further tighten the escutcheons, if necessary.
