1. Detach the piping from the shrouding by removing screw A
above the showerhead (see Figure 4). Slide piping out of the
shrouding; the showerhead remains attached to the shroud.
2. For mounting the piping assembly bracket B, use bracket as
a template and drill 2 small holes in the wall at showerhead
height.
3. For mounting lower piping assembly, drill a small hole in the
wall that is 20-1/2" (520 mm) below the upper bracket (B) and
1-13/32" (36 mm) to the left and right of the center line.
4. Install mounting anchors per room specifications. Secure
bracket with mounting screws (NOT INCLUDED).
5. Connect the supply lines to the piping assembly.

n
Do not remove the entire chrome plated end cap from the
shrouding; it functions as an end cap and gasket for shroud
extension. Part of the end cap can be broken out to provide ver-
tical and horizontal piping clearance.
1. To remove scored section, hit it sharply with a hammer.
2. To connect the showerhead, slide the showerhead nipple
on the inside of the shroud into the piping assembly. Secure
shrouding with the screw at A.
3. Fit the handle over the stem. Turn on water supply. Turn
handle fully counterclockwise and measure the outlet water
temperature. Adjust temperature if required (see high tem-
perature limit stop adjustment)
4. Check for leaks. Secure shrouding.
5. The cover plate fits over the tabs around the shroud valve
hole. Snap the cover plate into place. Secure it at D and D'
with screws.
6. Place the name plate over the cover plate, snap the retaining
ring. Thread sleeve on the bonnet making sure that the cut-a-
way on the sleeve is toward you, and it is in the bottom posi-
tion when tightened.
7. Install the handle with the screw provided.

Installation should be in accordance with acceptable plumbing
practices. Flush all piping thoroughly before installation.
Failure to do so can result in valve malfunction. Before installation
of HydroPanel
™
II, rotate the stem or handle off.
1. See Figure 1, 2 & 3 to determine the horizontal position of the
unit according to shower room layout and mark the center-
lines. For multiple shower applications, the recommended
minimum distance between the centerlines of the two units is
36 inches (914 mm).
2. Determine floor to showerhead height for the unit.
Recommended heights--for men 77" (1956 mm), male youth 66"
(1676 mm), women 70" (1778 mm) and female youth 60" (1524
mm).
3. The preassembled copper tubing for supply water inlets are
4-3/4" (120 mm) from the top of the shroud and 2-11/16" (68 mm)
left and right of the centerline. Adjust supply line accordingly.
