Installation Instructions/Instrucciones de Instalación

1. Determine the location of the valve. Make sure the center of the valve

will measure 1 3/8” - 1 7/8“ from the surface of the finished wall.

2. Position valve in the wall at the correct depth and secure

into place.

3. Install NPT threaded copper adapters to the hot & cold

inlets, applying teflon tape to all threaded connections.

Then solder copper piping onto adapters and run to

designated water supply or outlet.

Important! Take the following precautions if soldering copper

piping directly onto valve:

a) Remove ALL components from the valve prior to soldering,

including plaster guards & cartridges.

b) Wrap valve body with cold rag before soldering. Take

special care not to overheat brass rough-in.

c) Use copper piping only, do not attempt to solder steel

piping to valve.

d) Flush all pipes before reinstalling cartridge and service stops.

e) Reinstall all components after soldering.

4. Make sure the cartridge is in the off position and then turn on

the water supply. Check for any leaks and make any necessary

repairs.

5. Finish the surrounding wall (use the plaster guard as a guide

for correct hole diameter).

6. Remove the plaster guard once the finished wall is complete.

1 3/8” - 1 7/8 “
