IMPORTANT:

¾ NOTE: The screws on the front of the trim plate are

aesthetic only and do not serve any mechanical
purpose and should not be removed.

¾ To ensure this product is installed properly, you

must read and follow these guidelines.

¾ The owner/user of this product must keep this

information for future reference.

¾ This product is intended to work with the

Waterworks Universal 1/2" Thermostatic Valve
(GUTH56R) which features anti-scald protection.
The risk of scalding exists until the installer has
properly calibrated/adjusted the temperature
setting and set the integrated high limit stop on the
valve prior to final trim installation.

¾ Be sure your installation conforms to federal state,

and local codes. In the State of Massachusetts, all
installations must comply with the rules and
regulations set forth within 248 CMR.

¾ This thermostatic valve trim only mixes hot and cold

water. It does not have volume control or shut-off
capabilities. A diverter or wall valve (sold
separately) control on/off/volume and must be
installed for each fitting that will have water flowing
to it. This valve trim cannot be used directly with a
diverting tub spout.

¾ This product must be installed by a professional

licensed contractor and must be onsite prior to
rough-in, this allows the installer to visualize the
installation.

¾ Inspect this product to ensure you have all the parts

required for proper installation.

¾ Use only a strap wrench or protected/smooth-jaw

wrench on any finished surface.

¾ The use of certain plumber's putty may stain stone

or tile surfaces.

TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION:

¾ The risk of scalding exists until the installer has

properly calibrated/adjusted the temperature
setting prior to final trim installation.

3. Slowly rotate the cartridge stem clockwise to attain

full cold then rotate it counter-clockwise to attain
full hot. Verify a full range of temperature exists.
NOTE: It is approximately 3/4 of a rotation from full

the adjust the temperature to the maximum desired
bathing temperature, verified with a thermometer.
