Both hot and cold supply lines must be pressurized.

If only one side is pressurized, the pressure balance

system will not allow adequate flow of water.
Volume control handle rotates 360

degrees or is not positioned correctly per

escutcheon, (sleeve is also loose). The keys of

the cartridge have not been properly placed in the

keyways in the brass body or keys on cartridge

assembly, shake cartridge side to side. Spool

should rattle in sleeve. If rattle cannot be heard,

spool may be stuck. Spool may be freed up by

rapping cartridge briskly sideways into the palm

of your hand. If spool cannot be freed, replace

cartridge assembly–RP46463.

NOTE: If the water in your area has lime, rust,

sand, or other contaminants in it, your pressure

balance valve will require periodic inspection.

The frequency of the inspection will depend on

the amount of contaminants in the water. To

inspect cartridge, remove it from the body and

shake it rigorously. If there is a rattling sound,

the unit is functional and can be reinstalled in its

previous position. If there is no rattle, replace the

cartridge with RP46463.
