REQUIRED PLUMBING DETAILS:

STYLE # GUPB87
IMPORTANT:
¾ NOTE: The screws on the trim plate are aesthetic
and do not serve any mechanical purposes and
should not be removed.
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 intended to work with the
Waterworks Universal Pressure Balance with
Diverter Valve (Style # GUPB87). The risk of
scalding exists until the installer has properly
calibrated/adjusted the temperature setting during
final trim installation.
¾ The bottom outlet of the GUPB87 is intended for use
with a tub spout only. The use of any fitting with a
restricted flow, such as a handshower, will cause the
diverter to not function properly.
¾ Do not use Pex piping from the valve to the tub
spout. This will cause too much back pressure for
the valve to function properly.
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 product must be installed by a professional
licensed contractor.
¾ Refer to the specifications and assembly drawings
attached. Product is sold partially assembled but
shown fully disassembled for illustrative and service
purposes only.
¾ Inspect this product to ensure you have all the parts
required for proper installation.
¾ This product must be on-site prior to rough-in which
allows the installer to visualize the installation.
¾ Use only a strap wrench or protected/smooth-jaw
wrench on any finished surface.
¾ The use of certain plumber's putty may stain stone
or tile surfaces.
VALVE OPERATION:
¾ See Figure 1. for Steps 1-3.
1.
When the finished wall is complete, turn on the hot
and cold supplies and pull off the tile guard. Valve
will not operate unless BOTH supplies are turned on.
2. The lever handle is for controlling the temperature
only, not volume. Place the handle on the valve stem
so it rests at 6 o'clock in the OFF position and then
turn the handle counter clockwise through the cold,
then warm and stopping at the hot position. If
additional rotational friction is required to maintain
the handle position, tighten the packing nut.
3. Allow the valve to run in the warm position for a few
minutes to completely flush the system. If system is
quite dirty, remove valve spindle to ensure proper
flushing. Refer to the Installation Guidelines for the
Pressure Balance Valve which contains a complete
parts breakdown and related information.
