Installation Sheet

WARNING: This shower system
may not protect the user from
scalding when there is a failure
of other temperature controlling
devices elsewhere in the plumb-
ing system.
5. Check packing nut (SC-7) for positive
frictional resistance to handle turn
throughout adjustment cycle and at
shut-off position, tighten if neccessary.
Check valve cap, packing nut and all
valve, pipe and fitting connections for
leaks. Reattach dome cover back onto
packing nut.
6. After finish wall is completed, remove
protective backing from escutcheon
gasket (SC-125) exposing adhesive
and adhere to inside top diameter of
escutcheon (SC-12). This step should
not preclude sealing valve body in
wall as directed in installation instruc-
tion step #2.
7. Push escutcheon and gasket against
wall and secure to valve with escutch-
eon screw (SC-12D). Secure dial
(SC-102) to escutcheon (SC-12) with
escutcheon screw (SC-12A). Mount
temperature control handle (RC-14) on
valve spindle spline, secure with screw
(SC-15). Install shower arm, flange
and shower head. See Figures 2 and
3. Install tub spout on diverter twin-ell
stub out (1-215-X only). Use putty
or sealant on back edge of spout to
make proper seal with finished wall.
8. ALLOW VALVE TO RUN IN WARM
POSITION FOR A FEW MINUTES TO
TOTALLY FLUSH SYSTEM. IF SYSTEM IS
QUITE DIRTY, REMOVE VALVE SPINDLE
OR STOP SPINDLES (IF SO EQUIPPED)
TO INSURE PROPER FLUSHING. See
service instructions.
9. Do not install positive shut-off devices
on the outlet of this valve or devices
that do not allow the valve to flow at
least 1 GPM at 50 psi inlet pressure.
EXCEPTION: If a self-closing or slow-
closing valve is installed on the outlet,
the supplies of the valve must be
equipped with checks to eliminate hot
to cold by-pass in the event the valve’s
handle is not turned to off after use.
Contact your factory representative or
Symmons directly for information on
available checks.
