ROUGH IN:
1. Make sure the valve body (1,1a) 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 (4).
2. IMPORTANT: Valve rough-in depth is 2-1/2 “mea-
sured from the centerline of the inlets to the
surface of the finished wall.
3. Run 3/4" copper supply lines to the proper height
of the valve inlets and be sure to secure all piping
and fittings.
4. 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 accord-
ing to the flow direction arrow marked on the wall
valve or diverter valve body.
5. The bottom port of the valve body is plugged
(1a),but can be used to supply water to other
fittings.
6. Install the tile guard (5).
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.
7. The valve body is shipped with the flush plate
installed (2,4) but without the cartridge installed
and is ready for flushing the lines.
8. Turn on the water supply to flush out the lines then
inspect all connections for leaks.
9. After the lines are flushed, turn off the water supply,
unthread the 2 cover screws (4), then remove the
flush plate.
10. Install the cartridge/cover plate (3) using the 2
cover screws and turn off the service stops.
11. Install the tile guard (5).
ATTACH THE TRIM:
12 Unthread the trim nut (8) from the threaded sleeve
(6) and then attach this sleeve to the valve cover
plate (3).
13.Slide the escutcheon plate (7,7a) over the sleeve
until the plate contacts the wall.
14.While holding the escutcheon plate against the wall,
mark the sleeve at a point 3/8" beyond where it
protrudes through the plate.
15.Remove the escutcheon plate, unthread the sleeve,
and then cut the sleeve at the point marked in step
11. Do NOT cut the end of the sleeve that has the
internal threads.
16.Reattach the threaded sleeve and slide the escutch-
eon plate over it.
17.Thread the trim nut onto the threaded sleeve which
will hold the plate against the wall.
18.Fully insert the square tube (5) into the trim nut and
then, by feel, make sure it slides over the stem and
stops against the valve cover plate - see figure 1.
When seated properly onto the stem, the square
tube will have rotational resistance.
19.Mark the square tube at the point where it passes
through the face of the trim nut.
20.Remove the square tube and cut it 1/8" behind the
mark made on the tube in step 19.
21.After cutting, insert the square tube back into the
trim nut, making sure it is slightly recessed into the
trim nut.
