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 informa-

tion 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 capabil-
ity. 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 disassembled 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 (1) 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 (8).

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 ,but can

be used to supply water to other fittings.

19. Install the tile guard.
