Understanding Adjustable S-Unions and Wall-Mount Placement
When installing a wall-mounted tub filler, getting the water supply connections to align precisely can be a challenge. Think of S-unions as adjustable elbows that compensate for minor measurement discrepancies in your in-wall plumbing. By rotating these eccentric fittings during setup, installers can easily match the exact center-to-center distance required by the faucet body without having to open up finished walls to reposition pipes. This thoughtful engineering ensures a secure, leak-free connection while accommodating various rough-in variations found in traditional bathroom renovations.
Installation Guide
Ensure access behind the wall is available prior to beginning a wall-mount installation.
Use plumbers tape on threaded connections to prevent leaks during assembly.
Utilize the included S-unions to adjust center measurements for a precise fit.
Flush water supply lines thoroughly before attaching the filler to clear out any construction debris.
Care & Maintenance
Routine Wiping Wipe the brass exterior clean with a soft, damp cloth after each use to prevent water spot buildup.
Gentle Cleansing Use mild soap and warm water for regular cleaning, avoiding abrasive scouring pads that can damage the finish.
Mineral Removal Soak the hand shower nozzle periodically in a 50/50 mix of white vinegar and water to dissolve stubborn lime scale.
Cartridge Maintenance Inspect lever handles and ceramic disc cartridges annually for smooth operation and signs of wear.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals Never use bleach, ammonia, or strong acid-based cleaners on metal fixture surfaces.
