Step 7 · Install New Faucet Trim
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your specific faucet model to install the final trim pieces. Slide the foam gasket and the large remodel plate over the valve and press it against the wall. Screw it securely in place. Slide the handle sleeve over the valve stem, then attach the handle with the provided set screw, which is often tightened with an Allen wrench. Ensure the handle is oriented correctly (e.g., pointing down for 'off'). Screw on the new tub spout, using a small amount of plumber's putty or Teflon tape on the threads for a good seal. Finally, screw on the new shower head.
