1. Determine the location of the valve. Make sure the center of
the valve will measure 1 1/4” - 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 or outlet.
IMPORTANT! Take the following precautions if soldering
copper piping directly onto valve:
a) Remove ALL components from the valve prior to
soldering (plaster guards, cartridges, and service stops).
b) Wrap valve body with cold rag before soldering. Take
special care not to over heat brass rough-in.
c) Use copper piping only, do not attempt to solder steel
piping to valve.
d) Flush all pipes before reinstalling cartridges.
e) Reinstall all components after soldering.
4. Remove the plaster guards and set a container below the spout
opening to collect water.
5. Make sure both valves are in the off position (hot cartridge turn
clock-wise, cold cartridge turn counter clock-wise). Then turn
on the hot and cold water supply and check for any leaks.
6. Slowly open both valves and flush the system.
