Installation Instructions/Instrucciones de Instalación
1. Remove the plaster guard from the spout connection.
4. Determine the location of the valve. Make sure the center
of the valve will measure 1 1/8” - 1 3/4“ from the surface of
the finished wall. Then install supportive framing to mount
valve to.
5. Position the valve in the wall (check depth) and secure into
place on the support framing using the included screws.
6. Install 1/2”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 components
e) Reinstall all components after soldering.
2. Screw the brass spout connector into the rough-in assembly
until tight. It is recommended to wrap the threaded end with
Teflon tape prior to installing.
3. Place the plaster guard back into place on to the rough-in assembly,
over the now attached brass spout connector.
