TI450-420 Page 2
Before installation of any Hydropanel II unit, rotate the stem (or
handle if attached) of the valve to its full clockwise position (OFF).
POSITION THE HYDROPANEL II UNIT
(See Figures 1 and 2) Determine the horizontal position of the unit
according to shower room layout, and mark the centerline. For
multiple shower applications, the recommended minimum dis-
tance between the centerline of two units is 36 inches [1914mm].
1. Determine the floor-to-showerhead height for the unit.
Recommended heights are listed below:
Men - 77” [1956mm] Youth - 66” [1676mm]
Women - 70” [1778mm] Youth - 60” [1524mm]
2. The preassembled copper tubing for supply water inlets are
6-5/8” [168mm] from the top of the shroud and 2-11/16”
[68mm] left and right of the centerline. Adjust supply piping
accordingly.
Install the Piping Assembly
The piping and Hydropanel II shrouding must be separated
before mounting to wall. The valve trim and cover plate are in a
separate plastic bag in the Hydropanel II shipping carton. For
#450-4204 and #450-4205 Hydropanel II units, the hand-shower,
hose and showerhead base come preassembled to the shroud-
ing. Refer to Figure 4.
3. Detach the piping from the shrouding, by removing screw A
above the showerhead. Slide piping out of the shrouding;
the shower head remains attached to the shroud.
4. For mounting the piping assembly upper bracket (B), use
the bracket as a template and drill two small holes in the wall
at showerhead height.
5. For mounting the piping assembly lower bracket (C), drill two
small holes in the wall that are 18-3/4” [476mm] below the
upper bracket, and 11/16” [17mm] to the left and right of
centerline.
6. Install any mounting anchors as detailed by the individual
room specifications.
7. Secure upper piping bracket B with mounting screws (not
included).
8. Secure lower piping bracket C with mounting screws (not
included).
9. Connect the supply lines to the piping assembly.
Attach the Shrouding
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 verti-
cal and horizontal piping clearance.
10.To remove scored section, hit it sharply with a hammer.
11.To connect the showerhead on the shroud to the water out-
let pipe, slide the showerhead nipple on the inside of the
shroud into the piping assembly. The End Cap will slide over
the supply piping. Secure the shrouding with the screw at A.
Test the System
Before final assembly, test the Hydropanel II system.
12.Fit the handle onto the valve stem and turn clockwise to the
shut off position.
13.Turn on water supply, and then rotate the valve handle coun-
terclockwise. Water should come through the showerhead.
14.Now turn handle fully counterclockwise and measure the
temperature of the outlet water. Wait until the temperature
stabilizes for an accurate reading.
15.Turn off valve (fully clockwise) and check all connections
(showerhead, pipe connections, valve bonnet) for leaks.
