cost, and this shall be the sole remedy available under this warranty. No claims will be allowed for labor, transportation or other incidental costs. This warranty extends only to persons or
organizations who purchase Sloan Valve Company's products directly from Sloan Valve Company for purpose of resale. This warranty does not cover the life of the batteries (battery operated
models).
THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES WHICH EXTEND BEYOND THE DESCRIPTION ON THE FACE HEREOF. IN NO EVENT IS SLOAN VALVE COMPANY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
OF ANY MEASURE WHATSOEVER.
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
Prior to installing the Sloan EBF-85 or EBF-187 Faucet, install the items
listed below. Also, refer to the Rough-In illustrations on Page 2.
• Lavatory/sink
• Drain line
• Hot and cold water supply lines or tempered water supply line
Mixing Valve
When installing the faucet with a Sloan mixing valve, these Installation
Instructions AND the Installation Instructions packaged with the mixing
valve MUST be followed.
Important:
• INSTALL ALL PLUMBING IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE CODES
AND REGULATIONS.
• KEEP THREAD SEALANT OUT OF YOUR WATERWAY TO PREVENT
COMPONENT PART DAMAGE! DO NOT USE ANY SEALANT ON
COMPRESSION FITTINGS. FOR THREADED PIPE FITTINGS, DO NOT
APPLY SEALANT TO THE FIRST TWO “STARTER” THREADS.

SOLENOID TO SUPPLY STOPS.
DO NOT INSTALL THE BATTERIES UNTIL THE FAUCET IS COMPLETELY
INSTALLED. If the batteries are installed before the fiber optic cable has
been connected to the valve module, the faucet will not properly set the
sensing range for the sink on which it is installed.
DO NOT INSTALL THE SPRAY HEAD UNTIL AFTER THE SUPPLY LINES
HAVE BEEN FLUSHED.
