CAUTION

Turn off hot and cold water

supplies before beginning.

Prepare water supplies per ROUGHING-IN DIMENSIONS. Make sure

the finished wall is between the minimum 1-11/16" and maximum 2-1/2" rough dimension.

Install VALVE (1) at indicated height and depth. Make sure the "TOP" marking on the PLASTER

GUARD (2) is up. For support, use pipe BRACES (3) secured to wooden braces.

Connect the hot and cold water supplies. Assemble all connecting pipes. Close off the tub port if it is not needed using a commercially available pipe plug. Connections are 1/2" NPT or 3/4" NPT.

IMPORTANT! INSTALL ANY REQUIRED SHUT OFF OR DIVERTER VALVE INTO THE PIPING SYSTEM.

 

DO NOT SOLDER DIRECTLY TO THE VALVE BODY (1); THIS WILL DAMAGE

WARNING

THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL ELEMENT AND CHECK STOP VALVES.

 

If the CHECK STOPS (4, 5) were removed during installation, ensure the hot and cold

 

CHECK STOPS (4, 5) are not reversed. The hot CHECK STOP (4) has a red top and the cold

 

CHECK STOP (5) has a blue top.

CHECK STOPS (4,5) are supplied in the open position. Closing using 5/32" (4 mm) hex wrench to pressure test and to check for leaks.

To flush lines, remove the CHECK STOPS (4,5) and run water. If desired, the TEMPERATURE CONTROL UNIT can be removed. Reinstall CHECK STOPS (4,5) and CONTROL UNIT (6), if it was removed.

Remove PLASTER GUARD (2) if still installed. Turn on water supplies and check for leaks.

Reassemble PLASTER GUARD (2) and FINISH WALL.

Beware of Freezing. No water should remain in the MIXING VALVE if freezing is a possibility. Remove the CHECK STOPS (4,5) to completely drain the MIXER UNIT (1).

Should the hot and cold water supply pipes have been transposed making adjustment impossible, proceed as follows:

Shut off water supply.

Remove handle and rim

Remove check stops and re-install them transposed.

Turn the water supply back on and perform the temperature

adjustment in step 3.

This setting can be changed if desired.

LIMIT STOP

Remove the TEMPERATURE LIMIT STOP (H shaped Black Plastic part). Reinstall it at the desired notch as indicated in the diagram to limit the maximum mixed water temperature to 104 F or 112 F.

For 100 F adjustment, turn the water supply on. Turn KNOB MOUNT until the spout temperature is 100 F. Check that arrow marking A on the KNOB MOUNT still points upward after adjusting the thermostat to 100 F. If not, pull out the RED LOCKING DEVICE. Remove KNOB MOUNT by pulling it towards you while standing directly in front of the valve.

Reinstall the KNOB MOUNT so that the arrow marking A points upwards.
