IMPORTANT
1. To ensure this product is installed properly, you must
read and follow these guidelines.
2. The owner/user of the valve must keep this information
for future reference.
3. This valve includes integrated service stops. Make sure
the tile guard is in place.
4. This valve features anti scald protection.The risk of
scalding exists until the installer has properly
calibrated/adjusted the temperature setting during final
trim installation.
5. Valve body rough-in depth is 2 ½" the centerline of the
inlets to the face of the finished wall.
6. Be sure your installation conforms to local codes.
7. This thermostatic valve only mixes hot and cold water
and does not have volume control or shut off capability.
A diverter or wall valves (provided separately) control
on/off/volume and must be installed for each fitting that
will have water flowing to it.
8. This product must be installed by a professional contractor.
9. Refer to the specification and assembly drawings attached.
Valves are sold partially assembled but shown fully disas-
sembled for illustrative and service purposes only.
10. If soldering any connections, remove cartridge to
prevent damage to seals and internal assembly.
11. The trim should be on-site prior to rough in and allows
the installer to visualize the installation.
12. Inspect this product to assure you have all parts shown
that are required for proper installation.
13. Check incoming water pressure; ideal operating pressure
is 50-60 psi. The minimum is 25 psi. and the maximum is
80 psi.
ROUGH IN:
14 . Make sure the valve body (6) is positioned according to
valve markings so the inlets are situated with hot piped
on the left and cold piped on the right. Positioned
correctly, notice the inlets are below an imaginary
horizontal line drawn between the 2 cover screws (9).
15. IMPORTANT: Valve rough-in depth is 2-1/2 “measured
from the centerline of the inlets to the surface of the
finished wall.
16. . Run 3/4" copper supply lines to the proper height of
the valve inlets and be sure to secure all piping and
fittings.
17. For each fitting that will have water flowing to it, install a
wall valve or diverter valve (both provided separately) at
the same rough in depth and according to the flow
direction arrow marked on the wall valve or diverter
valve body.
18. The bottom port of the valve body is plugged (6a),but
can be used to supply water to other fittings.
19. Install the tile guard (10).
