IMPORTANT:
¾ To ensure this product is installed properly, you must

read and follow these guidelines. The owner/user of
this product must keep this information for future
reference.


¾ This product can only be used with either the Universal

Pressure Balance Valve (GUPB81) or the Universal
Pressure Balance with Diverter Valve (GUPB87). This
product requires a compatible wall valve trim and trim
plate. ALL PRODUCTS SOLD SEPARATELY.

¾ This product, the pressure balance valve (GUPB81 or

GUPB87) and the associated trims must be on-site
prior to rough-in. This allows the installer to visualize
the installation.


¾ Inspect this product to assure you have all the parts

required for proper installation.

¾ Refer to the specification and assembly drawings

attached. Product is sold partially assembled but
shown fully disassembled for illustrative and service
purposes only.

¾ This product must be installed by a professional

licensed contractor. Be sure your installation conforms
to all 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 Check incoming water pressure.

FUNCTION:
¾ The Universal Pressure Balance Valves (GUPB81 and

GUPB87) control on/off and mix hot and cold water.
Mixed water flows out at a fixed volume to the
diverter valve (GUDV23) which has 2 positions/outlets
to direct water flow to a maximum of 2 devices:
Shower head and handshower. Water cannot flow out
of the devices simultaneously (i.e. out of the shower
head and handshower together). The GUDV23 can
only be connected to the top outlet port of the
GUPB81 and GUPB87. The GUPB87 features an
integrated diverter for use with a tub spout that does
not have a built in diverter.

ROUGH-IN:
¾ Valve rough-in depth is measured from the centerline

of the inlets to the surface of the finished wall and
varies depending on the trim being used.
