Installation Instructions/Instrucciones de Instalación

1. Determine the location of the valve and install support

framing.

2. Position the valve in the wall and secure into place on the

support framing using the provided screws. Refer to the

roughing-in dimensions on page 2 (or as marked on the

plaster guards) for additional mounting information.

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) Reinstall all components after soldering.

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

the water supply and check for any leaks. Make any repairs

if necessary.

5. Finish the surrounding wall. To ensure proper fit, do not over-

size the hole - use the plaster guard as a guide for correct

diameter.

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