How to use

To install the eccentric unions, first ensure the water supply is turned off. Apply appropriate thread sealant or plumbing tape to the 1/2 inch threads before screwing them into the wall-mounted supply pipes. Rotate the unions to adjust the distance between the centers until they align perfectly with the faucet inlets. Once aligned, attach the faucet nuts to the 3/4 inch threads, ensuring that the included gaskets are properly seated to prevent leaks. Tighten the connections carefully using a suitable wrench, taking care not to overtighten.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the thread sizes of your existing wall pipes and faucet inlets
• Ensure the 6.4 cm length is sufficient for your specific wall depth
• Check if your faucet installation requires additional decorative rosettes

Usage recommendations: Always use high-quality thread sealant tape to ensure a watertight connection and prevent potential leaks behind the wall surface.
