1. Determine the location of the valve. Make sure the back of the valve will measure 2 3/8” - 3 3/8“ from the surface of
the finished wall. Then install support framing to mount the valve to.
2. Position the valve in the wall (check depth) and secure into place on the support framing using the provided screws.
3. Install 3/4”NPT threaded copper adapters to the outlet and 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, cartridge and service stops.
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. Install 3/4” nipple to outlet so it extends beyond the wall and install a water-tight cap.
5. Turn on the hot and cold water supplies and check for any leaks. Turn water supply off.
6. Remove the plaster guard and outlet cap. Set up a container under the outlet to collect water. Turn the water
supply on and flush the system.
7. Reinstall plaster guard and outlet cap.
