Essential Aspects of Kingston Brass Bathtub Faucet Installation Instructions

Upgrading your bathtub faucet can transform the look and functionality of your bathroom. Kingston Brass, known for their high-quality bathroom fixtures, provides comprehensive installation instructions to ensure a seamless experience. Here are the essential aspects you need to know:

Tools and Materials: Before starting, gather the necessary tools and materials, including a wrench or adjustable pliers, a level, measuring tape, thread seal tape, and a screwdriver.

Safety Precautions: Turn off the water supply to the bathroom and open the bathtub faucet to release any remaining water pressure. Ensure you have adequate lighting and a well-ventilated area for the installation.

Disassemble the Old Faucet: Using a wrench or adjustable pliers, loosen and remove the nuts securing the old faucet. Gently pull the faucet upward to detach it from the water supply lines.

Prepare the Mounting Surface: Use a level to ensure the mounting surface for the new faucet is level and clean. Remove any debris or old sealant from the surface.

Install the Mounting Bracket: Align the mounting bracket with the holes on the mounting surface and secure it using the provided screws. Ensure the bracket is level and firmly attached.

Connect the Water Supply Lines: Measure and cut the water supply lines to the desired length. Apply thread seal tape to the connectors and screw them into the mounting bracket. Tighten them securely using a wrench or adjustable pliers.

Install the Faucet: Gently place the faucet over the mounting bracket and tighten the nuts to secure it. Double-check that the faucet is level and securely fastened.

Install the Handle(s): Determine the desired position for the handle(s) and insert the hex screw or set screw provided. Tighten the screw to secure the handle to the faucet.

Apply Sealant: Apply sealant around the base of the faucet and any other connections to prevent leaks. Use a damp cloth to smooth out the sealant and remove any excess.

Turn on the Water Supply: Turn the water supply back on and gradually open the bathtub faucet to check for any leaks. If you notice any leaks, tighten the connections or adjust the sealant as needed.

Final Touches: Install any decorative trim or accessories, such as an escutcheon plate, and ensure everything is securely fastened. Enjoy your newly installed Kingston Brass bathtub faucet!
