CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Remove plaster guards, valve units, diverter and diverter sleeve before you apply heat to yoke. Remove aspirator with a 3/8” hex wrench. Yoke has two union joints that can be used with either 1/2” N.P.T. pipe or copper tubing. Connect hot and cold supplies to yoke, so they are between 2-1/4” minimum and 3-1/2” maximum from the finished wall. Reinstall plaster guards, valve units, and aspirator.
