Step 2: Assembly of handle
Center the handle guard on the trap.
Insert the two top handle assembly pieces into the holes in the handle guard.
Slide the tube between the two handle guards and ensure it is centered.
Place the bracket (with the press-fit nut) inside the trap and hand-tighten the bolts.
Use the nut driver to fully tighten the bolts from the top, ensuring the handle remains secure.
