7. Attach shield assembly to valving unit by positioning shower head elbow of shield with top flange
O-ring and lower large hole of shield with dial cap of unit. Slide shield into place against finish wall.
Secure shield to unit with (3) screws provided. Use the 3/8” long screw for the top mounting hole
above the showerhead elbow and the two (2) 1-1/4” long screws for the lower mounting holes near
the dial cap. Tighten screws with Allen wrench provided.
8. Apply pipe thread sealant or tape to shower head elbow threads of shield. Attach shower head
to elbow. Wrench tighten. Properly position handle in the “OFF” position and secure with ½” long
screw provided.
9. With spring check stops fully opened, turn handle to the warm position and check shower head
connection for leaks. Turn valve off.
10. To adjust the temperature limit stop, remove the handle and dial cap from the valve. Remove the
rubber retaining ring and the first temperature limit stop (TLS) plate. The second TLS plate should
be adjusted so that it comes into contact with the lower side of the bonnet post when the valve is in
the “OFF” position. Now turn the valve on to the desired maximum hot water discharge temperature,
assemble the first TLS plate so that it contacts the upper side of the bonnet post. Turn valve off and
reassemble the retaining ring, cap and handle. Because of fluctuations in the hot and cold water
temperatures, it is not recommended that the temperature limit stop be used to preset the unit for
showering temperatures.
11. Back to Back Installation: On this type of installation the regulating disc must be rotated 180° on the
valve on which the hot and cold inlets were reversed. Refer to the complete installation/rough-in
literature supplied with the valve and see “Maintenance” for additional instructions.
OPERATION
Note: Both the hot and cold water must be on for the valve to operate properly. The handle of the valve
is rotated clockwise to the desired temperature and then counter clockwise to turn the valve off.
MAINTENANCE
The ROYALE™ valve relies on plastic and rubber components, quad-rings and O-rings for sealing. There are
no seat washers or packings to repair, which reduces the need for routine maintenance. The valve contains
a plastic regulating disc with rubber seal and a balancing module. After shutting off the integral stops
through the access holes in the bottom/soap dish plate simply remove the valve handle and the shield
assembly (total of four (4) screws) from the unit. Unscrew four (4) bonnet screws and remove bonnet
assembly. When replacing the balance module, make sure that the quad-ring seals are properly installed
within the module and that the module is installed with the seals directly over the body inlet ports. When
replacing the regulating disc refer to the complete installation/rough-in literature supplied with the valve.
It is suggested that the Temperature Limit Stop (TLS) be seasonally adjusted because of variations in
the cold supply temperature to ensure the safety and comfort of the users.
Note: When servicing these modules and adjusting the TLS refer to the installation sheet supplied with
the valve.
