These guidelines have been prepared for the professional contractor to aid in the installation of:
AERO RETRO THERMOSTATIC SHOWER VALVE & TRIM
(GUSV 16R + RTSV 47) AND (GUSV 37R + RTSV 58)
All dimensions are based on original specifications and are subject to change and variation.
Please consult your Design Associate for current specifications.
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT:
Adjusting the Temperature.
32. IMPORTANT: The risk of scalding exists until the
installer has properly calibrated the temperature
setting.
33. Calibrating the temperature: Let the water run at an
average temperature and take a reading of the water
temperature with a thermometer. Temperature
adjustments are made by inserting and turning a
screwdriverinto the square tube (#16).
34. Place the temperature indicator (#18) on the cap
(#16) and adjust the pointer to the position corre-
sponding to the obtained water temperature.
35. Lock the set-screw onto cap (#16) and set up the
handle and cover (#4).
36. To bypass the temperature safety limit of 104°F,
depress the pointer and turn left to temperatures
exceeding this limit. It is not recommended to exceed
the preset temperature of 104°F.
37. Temperature settings should be checked periodically
to ensure that proper calibration is maintained.

FLUSH OUT THE SYSTEM:
The supply lines must be flushed out to prevent clogging of
the filter screens. Failure to flush the lines will permanently
damage the cartridge and void the warranty.
20. The valve body is shipped with the flush plate installed
(7,9) but without the cartridge installed and is ready for
flushing the lines.
21. Turn on the water supply to flush out the lines then
inspect all connections for leaks.
22. After the lines are flushed, turn off the water supply,
unthread the 2 cover screws (9), then remove the flush
plate.
23. Install the cartridge/cover plate (8) using the 2 cover
screws and turn off the service stops.
24. Install the tile guard (10).
FINISH:
Please refer to the specification diagrams on the left side
of this page.
25. Use only a protected, smooth-jawed, or strap wrench on
any finished surface.
26. Attach the threaded sleeve (#1a) on the rough body (#8).
Slide the escutcheon plate (#7) over the sleeve. Mark the
threaded sleeve (#1a) in preparation of cutting 3⁄ 16"
beyond where it protrudes from the escutcheon plate.
27. Remove the trim (including the threaded sleeve) so that
the threaded sleeve (#1a) can be cut. Be sure not to cut
the end with internal threads. File the cut edge with care.
28. Reattach the threaded sleeve (#1a) and place the
escutcheon plate (#7) over it. (Note: 86°F is at 12
o’clock).
29. Place cap (#16) onto threaded sleeve (#1a).This should
lock the escutcheon plate against the finished wall.
30. Introduce the square tube (#1b) into the cap (#16) and
set it completely onto the thermostatic body
(see fig 1).
31. Mark the square tube so that when it is cut, it is flush
with the end of the cap (#16).
