not volume. Remove the 3mm hex set screw (27)

from the handle then slide the handle onto the

spindle (11).

position then warm and stopping at the hot position.
If additional rotational friction is required to maintain

the handle position, tighten the packing nut (10).

minutes to completely flush the system. If system is
quite dirty, remove valve spindle to ensure proper

flushing.

10. IMPORTANT: This valve is equipped with a limit

stop screw (8) to be used to limit the valve handle

from being turned to excessively hot water discharge

temperatures.
