R18442 & R18442-WS Installation
Remove the bonnet nut, cartridge 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. Determine whether a three or six function configuration is desired. For
2 port, 3 function; solder plug into auxiliary port (6) in casting. Solder tube (7) into the main port of the jet module to the shower arm elbow to the desired height. For 3 port, 6 function; all outlet ports are used. It is recommended to mount valves to stringers as shown.
The pipe (8) 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 press the detent (9) into proper hole as shown, 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 (10) on stem (11) as shown. Then press stem and nut assembly into body
(12)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.
