Installation Guidelines
7/06
26. Attach the threaded sleeve (#14) on the rough body
(#9). Slide the escutcheon plate (#7) over the sleeve.
Mark the threaded sleeve (#14) 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 (#14) can be cut. Be sure not
to cut the end with internal threads. File the cut edge
with care.
28. Re-attach the threaded sleeve (#14) and place the
escutcheon plate (#7) over it.
29. Thread cap (#16) onto threaded sleeve (#14).This
should lock the escutcheon plate against the finished wall.
30. Introduce the square tube (#15) into the cap (#16) and
set it completely onto the axle of rough body (#9).
31. Mark the square tube so that when it is cut, it is flush
with the end of the cap (#16).
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
screwdriver into the square tube (#15).
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 3mm set-screw onto cap (#16) and attach
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.

ROUGH IN:
14. Make sure the valve body (1) is positioned according
to valve markings so the inlets are situated with hot
piped on the left and cold piped on the right.
Positioned correctly, notice the inlets are below an
imaginary horizontal line drawn between the 2 cover
screws (8).
15. IMPORTANT: Valve rough-in depth is 2-1/2 “
measured from the centerline of the inlets to the
surface of the finished wall.
16. Run 3/4" copper supply lines to the proper height of
the valve inlets and be sure to secure all piping and
fittings.
17. For each fitting that will have water flowing to it,
install a wall valve or diverter valve (both provided
separately) at the same rough in depth and
according to the flow direction arrow marked on the
wall valve or diverter valve body.
18. The bottom port of the valve body is plugged
(1a),but can be used to supply water to other fittings.
19. Install the tile guard (2).
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 (1b, 8) 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 (8), then remove the
flush plate.
23. Install the cartridge/cover plate (3) using the 2 cover
screws and turn off the service stops.
24. Install the tile guard (2).
FINISH:
Please refer to the specification diagrams
25. Use only a protected, smooth-jawed, or strap
wrench on any finished surface.
