Before You Install 
Before installing the U by Moen shower system, it’s important to consider a few key factors such 
as the number of shower outlets the homeowner intends to use in the shower, valve placement, 
location of a usable electrical outlet and strength of WiFi signal. 
Valve Placement 
  Unlike traditional valves, the U by Moen shower digital valve does not have to be 
placed directly behind the shower wall. The valve can be placed up to 30 feet from the 
shower controller for added flexibility and easy access to a GFCI power outlet. Example 
of valve between studs. 
  Aside from being connected to a GFCI outlet, the only requirement is that the valve 
be accessible and not completely closed behind a wall. Options include adding an 
access panel in the wall to reach the valve or placing the valve in a closet, vanity or other 
form of accessible cavity. Example of access panel in closet. 
  Risk of Damage to Product: The power supply and valve must not be installed where 
the ambient temperature can exceed 104 degrees or where freezing can occur. 
Other Requirements 
> Data Cable Connections 
A 30-foot data cable connects the valve to the controller allowing for flexibility of install 
locations. 
> Valve Orientations
