MAX. 1/2”
1. Determine the location of the valve. Make sure the front face of the valve (where the spout threads in) will measure a
MAX. of 1/2” 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 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.
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. Remove plaster guards and make sure valve is in the OFF position (cartridge stem pushed down).
5. Turn on the hot and cold water supplies and check for any leaks.
6. Make sure to have a container set up under the spout hole to collect the water. Then open the valve and flush the system.
7. Reinstall plaster guards.
