Thread a locknut onto each valve body. The flat surface of the
locknut should face up towards the lavatory.
Slide a fiber washer onto each locknut.
NOTE: The valve body marked "Cold" (with blue lettered tape
attached to the tube) should be installed to the right of the faucet.
Apply a bead of plumbers putty or other sealant to the underside
of the escutcheons according to the putty manufacturer's
instructions.
From the underside of the lavatory, insert the "Cold" and "Hot"
valve bodies into the mounting holes.
From the top of the lavatory, thread an escutcheon onto each
valve until hand tight.
Slide a compression nut and ferrule onto each supply tee inlet
tube.
Align the end bodies so the supply tubes fit evenly into the valve
body outlets.
Tighten the compression nuts from the supply tubes to the valve
body outlets.
While holding the valve bodies in place, securely tighten the
locknuts with a wrench. Do not overtighten.
Remove any excess putty or sealant.
