IMPORTANT:
¾ To ensure this product is installed properly, you
must read and follow these guidelines.
¾ The owner/user of this product must keep this
information for future reference.
¾ This product is supplied with the Waterworks
Universal Thermostatic Valve (STYLE # GUTH37)
which features anti-scald protection. The risk of
scalding exists until the installer has properly
calibrated/adjusted the temperature setting during
final trim installation. Refer to the Installation
Guidelines of the thermostatic valve for additional
information.
¾ Be sure your installation conforms to federal state,
and local codes. In the State of Massachusetts, all
installations must comply with the rules and
regulations set forth within 248 CMR.
¾ This exposed thermostatic valve only mixes hot and
cold water. It does not have volume control or shut-
off capabilities. A diverter or wall valve (sold
separately) control on/off/volume and must be
installed for each fitting that will have water flowing
to it. This valve cannot be used directly with a
diverting tub spout.
¾ This product must be installed by a professional
licensed contractor and must be onsite prior to
rough-in, this allows the installer to visualize the
installation.
¾ Proper blocking in the wall is required.
¾ Inspect this product to ensure you have all the parts
required for proper installation.
¾ Use only a strap wrench or protected/smooth-jaw
wrench on any finished surface.
¾ Install accessible hot and cold service stop valves to
facilitate servicing.
¾ DO NOT use putty on fittings.
