Sign of the Crab Roman Tub Faucet Installation Instructions

Roman tub faucets should be installed by a qualified, licensed plumber.

Step 1 Shut off the water supply valves before installation.
Step 2 Apply gasket to base of spout. Insert spout shank through center hole. Place washer on spout with nut. Hand tighten, align spout and wrench tighten.
Step 3 Place the bottom lock down nut and thin washer onto valve body. Then, from the underside, insert valve bodies through deck and hand tighten the top hold down nut and thin washer cup onto the valve body. Place the escutcheon onto the stem and adjust the vertical height of the valve stem with the hold down nuts. The distance from the bottom of the handle to the top of the escutcheon should be 1/8" when the valve is off. Wrench tighten the hold down nuts.
Step 4 Place the escutcheon on the stem and tighten. Take care when loosening the escutcheon not to also loosen the packing nut, as leaking will occur.
Step 5 Assemble the tee to spout shank with washers and seals as shown below. Wrench tighten.
Step 6 Attach supply lines to bottom of valves. Wrench tighten.
Step 7 Connect the stainless steel flex lines to the valve bodies and the tee. Wrench tighten until sealed.
Step 8 Unscrew the flange from the pop-up body. Insert the pop-up body through the sink drain hole and hand tighten the flange to the body. With the ball rod facing towards the back, wrench tighten the lock nut. Insert the pop-up plunger through the collar.
Step 9 Insert the pop-up rod with knob through the faucet pop-up hole. Insert the pop-up rod through the strap. Adjust for best operation and tighten the set screw.
Step 10 Turn on the water supply. Remove the aerator from the end of the spout and flush hot and cold lines until the water is clear. Attach the aerator and enjoy your beautiful faucet.
Step 11 Make no adjustments to valves or valve stems. They are tested at the factory for optimum performance.
