Technical Instructions
IS-P-450_e420
The Powers HydroPanel ™ II Shower System with HydroGuard ® e420 valve combines
thermostatic and pressure balancing water control with the convenience of modular
shrouding. It provides a concealed shower system where in-wall piping does not exist
or may not be practical. The HydroGuard ® e420 features heavy cast brass construction,
self actuated thermostatic element to quickly sense any change in hot or cold supply
water temperature or pressure and respond to maintain the user selected temperature.
In the event of cold water failure, the thermostatic element virtually shuts off the flow of
hot water. A built-in adjustable metal-to-metal temperature limit stop reduces chances
of accidental scalding due to over adjustment of handle. HydroPanel ™ II comes complete
with inline checkstops, stainless steel shrouding, e420 combination valve, ADA compliant
lever handle, piping, end caps and mounting hardware. Some models feature a stainless
steel soap dish. An optional hand shower comes preassembled.

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH PROPER INSTALLATION AND
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS COULD CONTRIBUTE
TO THE VALVE FAILURE, RESULTING IN INJURY AND/OR
DEATH.
TO ENSURE THE ACCURATE AND RELIABLE OPERATION
OF THIS PRODUCT, IT IS ESSENTIAL TO:
• Properly design the system to minimize pressure and tempera-
ture variations.
• Conduct an annual maintenance program to ensure proper
operation of all critical components.
• Check outlet temperature to ensure it does not exceed
110°F (43°C). Make sure temperature limit stop is properly re-
set to maximum 110°F (43°C) following valve maintenance or
repair. Tampering with limit stop in any way may result in scald-
ing temperature causing serious bodily harm and/or death.
Need for Periodic Inspection: Periodic inspection by a
licensed contractor is recommended. Corrosive water condi-
tions, and/or unauthorized adjustments or repair could render
the valve ineffective for service intended. Regular checking
and cleaning of the valve’s internal components and check
stops helps assure maximum life and proper product func-
tion. Frequency of cleaning and inspection depends upon
local water conditions.
