9.Flush your system prior to installing the shower head. Place handle on valve stem and turn handle to full mix position. Turn ON water supplies, check for leaks and let lines flush for one minute without moving faucet handle. Divert water to shower head and flush for 30 seconds. This will remove any debris from lines which can damage internal parts of the faucet and create leaks. After flushing, shut OFF water at faucet. Remove handle and attach escutcheon. Attach shower head.

CAUTION: Connection of deck-mount spouts to in- wall valves is not recommended. Neither is the use of handshowersconnectedtobathspoutsinabath/shower push button diverter combination.

Rotational Limit Stop

10.IMPORTANT: The Rotational Limit Stop is used to limit the amount of hot water available such that, if set properly, the user will not be scalded if the handle ac- cidentally is rotated all the way to “hot” when a person is showering or filling a tub. The first position allows the LEAST amount of hot water to mix with the cold water in the system. In the first position the water will be the coldest possible when the handle is turned all the way to hot.As you move the Rotational Limit Stop counterclock- wise, you progressively add more and more hot water in the mix. The last position to the left will result in the greatest amount of hot water to the mix, and the great- est risk of scald injury if someone accidentally turns the valve handle all the way to the hot side while showering

or filling a tub.

WARNING: In some instances, setting the Rotational Limit Stop in the hottest position (full counterclock- wise) could result in scald injury. It is necessary to adjust the Rotational Limit Stop so that the water coming out of the valve will not scald the user when the handle of the valve is rotated to the hot side.

Adjustrotationallimitstop. Afterwaterhasrunasufficient length of time so that cold water is as cold as it will get, and hot water is as hot as it will get, place handle back on stem and rotate handle counter clockwise to the hot- test position. Place a thermometer in a plastic tumbler, and hold the tumbler in the water stream. Record the temperature reading and note or mark the position of the Rotational Limit Stop on the mating part. If the water temperature is above 120°F the Rotational Limit Stop must be rotated clockwise to reduce the temperature (See illustration).

RemovetheRotationalLimitStopandreplaceitonetooth counter clockwise for every 6° F (approximate) reduction in temperature that must be made. If water temperature isbelow90°F,rotatethestopcounter-clockwise. Repeat as necessary. Make sure cold water flows from the valve first and does not exceed 120°F at the hottest flow. A guide to setting the approximate outlet temperature is included. This is only a guide and any setting must be verified by using the above procedure.
