California Faucets Thermostatic Cartridge - Manual (Page 3)

After cleaning, partially opening and closing
both the hot and cold service stops to flush
valve body.
Before installing a new replacement cartridge,
apply some plumbers grease to the three (3) O‐
rings on the cartridge.
Gently push and twist the cartridge into the
body, until cartridge threads engage with valve
body threads.
Using a crescent wrench, securely tighten
cartridge into place. Proper tightening is about
12 ft. lbs…similar to tightening a car spark plug.
Make sure all volume controls are in the closed
position before opening the service stops on the
valve body.
