Installation Guidelines
7/06
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 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.
FINISH:
Please refer to the specification diagrams
25. Use only a protected, smooth-jawed, or strap
wrench on any finished surface.
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. Place 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 thermostatic
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
corresponding to the obtained water temperature.
35. Lock the 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.
