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.

Delta R18448, R18224 instruction sheet R18442 & R18442-WS Installation

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. One of its standout features is the environmentally friendly refrigerant R-410A, which is not only effective in cooling but also has a lower impact on the ozone layer compared to older refrigerants. This model incorporates variable speed inverter technology, allowing it to adjust its compressor speed for optimal cooling and energy savings. The result is a unit that provides consistent temperatures while significantly reducing energy consumption compared to traditional systems.

Similarly, the Delta R18448 offers an even more powerful performance, with a cooling capacity of 24,000 BTUs, catering to even larger spaces or more demanding cooling requirements. This unit also utilizes R-410A refrigerant and features advanced inverter technology. The quiet operation of both models is another notable characteristic, ensuring a peaceful indoor environment, whether during the day or at night.

Both units come equipped with smart connectivity options, allowing homeowners to control their air conditioning systems remotely through a dedicated app. This feature enhances user convenience by providing real-time monitoring and control over temperature settings and operational modes from anywhere.

In terms of installation, both models are designed with user-friendliness in mind. Their compact size allows for flexible placement, and clear instructions streamline the installation process. Furthermore, both R18224 and R18448 incorporate a robust air filtration system that improves indoor air quality by capturing dust, pollen, and other allergens.

In conclusion, Delta R18224 and R18448 stand out as efficient, powerful, and user-friendly air conditioning solutions. With their emphasis on modern technology and eco-friendliness, they are ideal choices for homeowners seeking to enhance their indoor comfort while being mindful of energy consumption and environmental impact.
