Remove the bonnet nut, stem and stem extender, seat, spring, and plasterguard (1), plus, the screen, test cap, bonnet nut, plasterguard and cover (2) before soldering. Connect valve body to water supplies using the proper fittings. Note: (3) is the cold inlet port and (4) is the hot inlet port.

Solder a copper tube (5) from the valve body to the jet module so the jets are at the desired height. Solder another tube (6) onto the top of the jet module to the shower arm elbow to the desired height. It is recommended to mount valves to stringers as shown.

The pipe (7) between valve & tub spout must be a minimum of 1/2" (13 mm) copper pipe or 1/2" (13 mm) iron pipe in a straight drop no less than 8" (203 mm) but no more than 16" (406 mm) long with only one 90 degree elbow to the spout nipple. If any

outlet port is to be unused, seal the port with a pipe plug.

If you are making a back to back or reverse installation (hot on right and cold on left) install the valve body as described, but reverse the water supply lines.

After soldering, reinstall all parts in reverse order; ensure bonnet nuts are tightened securely. Then install the stops into the body; be careful not to overtighten the nuts.

Note: Install stops in the w/stops version as

follows: Thread nut (8) on stem (9) as shown. Then press stem and nut assembly into body

(10)and tighten using a 3/8", 6 point, deep well socket. With a flat head screwdriver, adjust stem clockwise to close and counterclockwise to open.

R18448, R18224 specifications

Delta R18224 and R18448 are two innovative residential air conditioning units that reflect advancements in HVAC technology and energy efficiency. Designed for both comfort and performance, these models are tailored to meet the diverse needs of homeowners.

Starting with the Delta R18224, this air conditioner boasts an impressive cooling capacity of 18,000 BTUs, making it suitable for larger rooms or open-concept spaces.
