1. For 2” x 6” wall construction position shower
valve so that center of inlet ports are 2-1/8” ±
1/2” (50mm ± 13mm) from finished wall
ensuring the outlet port marked “T” is facing
down.
2. For 2” x 4” wall construction position shower
valve so that center of inlet ports are 1-3/8” ±
1/4” (50mm ± 6mm) from finished wall
ensuring the outlet port marked “T” is facing
down.
3. Make up connections to the appropriate inlet
ports, marked “H” and “C” on one valve and
reverse on the other, cold supply to “H” and hot
supply to “C”. Inlet connections are
combination 1/2” NPT and 1/2” sweat. Refer to
page 6 for cartridge removal and reversal.

page 4 or 9B on page 5.
To avoid confusion Hot and Cold inlets need to
be re-identified for future maintenance.

IMPORTANT
Excessive overheating of valve during soldering
may damage the cartridge and checkstops. Do
not heat valve any higher than needed to flow
solder. If a higher temperature method is being
used all internal components must be
removed. See figures 8 for cartridge removal
and 10 for temperature limit setting.
