INSTALLATION
Note: Refer to the rough-in during installation.
Install the hot and cold supply lines for the valve either through the wall, from the ceiling or from the floor.
For ceiling and floor supply installations, hold 1” from finished wall to center of supply lines. Supply inlets are
½” NPT female. Apply pipe sealant to male threaded supply lines. Slip strap on to gooseneck. Apply sealant
to inlet threads of gooseneck and screw into valve body. Tighten and position outlet with valve body.
Connect valve body assembly to the supply lines. Fasten support strap to finish wall (screws (2) supplied).
Location is optional. Apply pipe sealant to gooseneck outlet threads and attach shower head. Open supply
lines and check all connections for leaks.
Important - Check each valve installation with a thermometer to make sure the maximum hot water
temperature is set to the recommended setting of 110° F maximum. To lower the limit of the maximum hot
water temperature the valve delivers, adjust the valve’s temperature limit stop (TLS) plates. Slip the retaining
O-ring and the TLS plates towards the end of the spindle. With the water supplies on, rotate the valve spindle
clockwise to the maximum desired hot water temperature. Position the bottom TLS plate so it contacts the
upper side of the bonnet post and therefore restricts the clockwise rotation of the spindle. The top TLS plate
should be adjusted so that it comes in contact with the lower side of the bonnet post when the valve is
rotated counter-clockwise to the “OFF” position. Slip the retaining O-ring back into the groove of the spindle
to hold the TLS plates in place.
Back to Back Installation: To adapt your shower valve for back to back installation, remove spindle O-ring,
TLS plates, and four (4) Bonnet Screws. Then remove Bonnet and Cartridge Assembly from valve body.
Rotate Valve Cartridge 180° and reinstall into Valve Body. The “H” marking on the blue Valve Cartridge cover
should now be on the right hand side. Reinstall Bonnet and four (4) Bonnet Screws, making sure the Large
Bonnet O-Ring is in place within the Valve Body. Reinstall TLS Plates and Spindle O-Ring.
