IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS ENCLOSED
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of injury due to hot water burns, make sure the enclosed
labels are applied where specified on the label.
NOTICE TO INSTALLER: Place this label on the water heater next to the temperature adjustment knob.
WARNING:
This series of tub/shower valves does not adjust automatically for changes in
temperature at the hot water heater or inlet. If the temperature setting of
the hot water heater or inlet is changed, the setting on these valves must be
adjusted manually! Failure to re-adjust the valve may result in hot water
burns or extreme cold resulting from variations in line pressure (such as when
a dishwasher or washing machine is in use while you are taking a shower).
After installation, verify that the temperature knob on the valve is set so
that changes in line pressure or temperature do not result in uncomfortable
water temperature changes. If the temperature setting of the hot water heater
or inlet is changed after installation of the valve, the setting of the
temperature knob also must be changed! Consult the installation instruction
sheet for instructions on how to make this setting, or call us at
1-877-345-BRIZO.
Place this label close to the valve where the owner will see it, such as inside the door of a cabinet or vanity.
WARNING:
Water temperature changes due to seasonal or other inlet variations, such as
changing the setting on the hot water heater may require adjustment of the
temperature knob on your tub/shower valve to ensure a safe maximum
temperature. This valve series does not automatically adjust for inlet
temperature changes. If changes occur and you are not sure how to make the
necessary temperature knob adjustments, please consult the installation
instruction sheet provided with this valve or call 1-877-345-BRIZO. This valve
is designed to reduce the risk of injury due to inlet pressure or temperature
changes, commonly caused by dishwashers, washing machines, toilets and the
like. It may not provide protection from hot water burns when there is a
failure of other temperature-controlling devices elsewhere in the plumbing
system. After making the necessary adjustments please fill in the information
below. This valve/system has been set by the person listed below to help
ensure a safe maximum temperature. Any change in the setting may raise the
temperature of the water coming out of the shower or bath above the limit
considered safe and could lead to hot water burns. If this label has not been
completed, you should verify that the temperature knob has been properly
adjusted to suit your individual installation. The installation instruction
sheet supplied with the valve provides information on how to make this
setting.

CAUTION
Failure to read these instructions prior to installation may result in
personal injury, property damage, or product failure. Manufacturer assumes no
responsibility for product failure due to improper installation.
You may need:
THIS VALVE MEETS OR EXCEEDS THE FOLLOWING STANDARDS:
ASME A112.18.1/CSA B125.1 and ASSE 1016.
CAUTION: This system/device must be set by the installer to ensure safe,
maximum temperature.
Any change in the setting may raise the discharge temperature above the limit
considered safe and may lead to hot water burns.
NOTICE TO INSTALLER:
CAUTION! –As the installer of this valve, it is your responsibility to properly INSTALL and ADJUST this valve per the instructions given. This valve does not automatically adjust for inlet temperature changes, therefore, someone must make the necessary rotational limit stop adjustments at the time of installation and further adjustments may be necessary due to seasonal water temperature change. YOU MUST inform the owner/user of this requirement by following the instructions. If you or the owner/user are unsure how to properly make these adjustments, please refer to the section “Adjusting the Rotational Limit Stop”. If still uncertain, call us at 1-877-345-BRIZO (2749).
After installation and adjustment, you must affix your name, company name and the date you adjusted the temperature knob to the caution label provided and apply or attach the label to the back side of the closest cabinet door and the warning label to the water heater. Leave this Instruction Sheet for the owner’s/user’s reference.
WARNING: This pressure-balanced valve is designed to minimize the effects of outlet water temperature changes due to inlet pressure and temperature changes, commonly caused by dishwashers, washing machines, toilets and the like. There is a risk of hot water burns and other personal injuries when there is a failure of other temperature-controlling devices elsewhere in the plumbing system if the rotational limit stop is not properly set or if the hot water temperature is changed after the settings are made or if the water inlet changes due to seasonal changes. To minimize this risk,caution should be used when using the hot water knob.
Do not install a shut-off device on either outlet of this valve. When this type of device shuts off the water flow, it can defeat the ability of the valve to balance the hot and cold water pressures.
Cartridge Installation
Turn off water supplies. Remove bonnet nut (2) and test cap (3) from the body. If this is not a thin wall mounting, the entire plaster guard (4) may be removed. If screen (5) is in place, remove before installing cartridge.
Rotate the cartridge (1) so the words “hot side” (2) appear on the left. Insert cartridge into valve body as shown. Make sure the cartridge tubes and O-rings (3) are properly seated in holes at the base of the body. Ensure the keys on the body are fully engaged with the slots in the body (4).
Back to back Installation
For back to back or reverse installations (hot on right and cold on left)
insert the cartridge with the “hot side” on the right.
If you are not making a reverse or back to back installation skip this step
and continue with step 1C.
Slide bonnet nut (1) over the cartridge and thread onto the body. Hand tighten securely.
For Tub Spout installation refer to the installation guide provided with your tub spout.
Adjusting the Rotational Limit Stop
Identify RLS type from pages 4-5.
IMPORTANT:
The Rotational Limit Stop is used to limit the amount of hot water available
such that, if set properly, the user will not be scalded if the handle
accidentally is rotated all the way to “hot” when a person is showering or
filling a tub. The first position allows the LEAST amount of hot water to mix
with the cold water in the system. In the first position the water will be the
coldest possible when the handle is turned all the way to hot. As you move the
Rotational Limit Stop counterclockwise, you progressively add more and more
hot water in the mix. The last position to the left will result in the
greatest amount of hot water to the mix, and the greatest risk of scald injury
if someone accidentally turns the valve handle all the way to the hot side
while showering or filling a tub.
WARNING: In some instances, setting the Rotational Limit Stop in the hottest position (full counterclockwise) could result in scald injury. It is necessary to adjust the Rotational Limit Stop so that the water coming out of the valve will not scald the user when the handle of the valve is rotated to the hot side.
-
According to the majority of industry standards, the maximum allowable temperature of the water exiting the valve is 120°F (Your local plumbing codes may require a water temperature less than 120°F).
-
The Rotational Limit Stop may need to be readjusted seasonally if the inlet water temperature changes. For example, during the winter, the cold water temperature is colder than it is during the summer which could result in varying outlet temperatures. A water temperature for a comfortable bath or shower is typically between 90°F – 110°F.
-
Run the water so that the cold water is as cold as it will get and hot water is as hot as it will get. Place the handle on the stem (see page 7, step 4D) and rotate the handle counterclockwise until the handle stops.
-
Place a thermometer in a plastic tumbler and hold in the water stream. If the water temperature is above 120°F, the Rotational Limit Stop must be repositioned clockwise to decrease valve outlet water temperature to be less than 120°F or to meet the requirements of your local plumbing codes.
-
To adjust the temperature of the water coming out of the valve, pull the disc back to a position where it is possible to remove the Rotational Limit Stop and readjust the teeth engagement position to the desired temperature. Clockwise will decrease
the outlet temperature, counterclockwise will increase the outlet temperature. Temperature change per tooth (notch) could be 4° – 16°F based on inlet water conditions. Repeat as necessary.
Push disc until fully seated.
WARNING: Failure to re-install Disc after setting Rotational Limit Stop could result in scald injury. -
MAKE SURE COLD WATER FLOWS FROM THE VALVE FIRST. MAKE SURE WATER FLOWING FROM THE VALVE AT THE HOTTEST FLOW POSSIBLE DOES NOT EXCEED 120°F OR THE MAXIMUM ALLOWED BY YOUR LOCAL PLUMBING CODE.
ADJUSTING THE ROTATIONAL LIMIT STOP
IMPORTANT: The Rotational Limit Stop is used to limit the amount of hot water available such that, if set properly, a scald injury is less likely to occur if the handle accidentally is rotated all the way to “hot” when a person is showering or filling a tub. The first position allows the LEAST amount of hot water to mix with the cold water in the system. In the first position the water will be the coldest possible when the handle is turned all the way to hot. As you move the Rotational Limit Stop counterclockwise, you progressively add more and more hot water in the mix. The last position to the left will result in the greatest amount of hot water to the mix, and the greatest risk of scald injury if someone accidentally turns the valve handle all the way to the hot side while showering or filling a tub.
WARNING: In some instances, setting the Rotational Limit Stop in the hottest position (full counterclockwise) could result in scald injury.

-
Run the water so that the cold water is as cold as it will get and hot water is as hot as it will get. Place the handle on the stem (see page 9, step 4F) and rotate the handle coun- terclockwise until the handle stops.
-
Place a thermometer in a plastic tumbler and hold in the water stream. If the water temperature is above 120°F, the Rotational Limit Stop must be repositioned clockwise to decrease valve outlet water temperature to be less than 120°F or to meet the requirements of your local plumbing codes.
-
To adjust the temperature of the water coming out of the valve, pull the white Rotational Limit Stop (1) outward and rotate. Clockwise rotation will decrease the outlet temperature, counterclockwise rotation will increase the outlet temperature. Temperature change per tooth (notch) could be 4° – 16°F based on inlet water conditions. Repeat as necessary. When finished, make sure that the Rotational Limit Stop is fully retracted into the seated position.
WARNING: Do not take the Rotational Limit Stop apart. -
MAKE SURE COLD WATER FLOWS
FROM THE VALVE FIRST. MAKE SURE WATER FLOWING FROM THE VALVE AT THE HOTTEST FLOW POSSIBLE DOES NOT EXCEED 120°F OR THE MAXIMUM ALLOWED BY YOUR LOCAL PLUMBING CODE.
Valve Trim Installation
(See following pages for Siderna® valve trim installation.)
Slide O-ring
- over cartridge and the bonnet nut
- The O-ring, which acts as a spacer to steady the sleeve, should rest behind the bonnet nut.
Note: Depending on the location of the valve in the wall and wall thickness, an optional extension kit (RP81665) can provide an additional 1 3/4” of wall thickness.
If your model requires a spacer (1), insert it into the sleeve (2) and push it to the front. Slide the sleeve over the cartridge, body and O-ring.
Cylinder trim sleeve (4) does not require a spacer. Ensure the word FRONT points out and slide trim sleeve all the way on over the cartridge.
C1: Secure the escutcheon (1) to the bracket (2) using the 2 screws provided (3). Do not overtighten escutcheon screws.
C2: Install bracket (5) over the cartridge body using the 2 screws (6)
provided. Install escutcheon (7) by placing it over the bracket as shown and
rotating it to lock the tabs (8).
Secure the escutcheon to the bracket using set screw (9).
Slide trim ring (1) over trim sleeve (2) and insert into escutcheon (3).
Models with side set screw in handle base – Secure handle onto the stem using
set screw and hex wrench (7). Insert button (if provided) into handle. Models
with axial screw in handle blade – Secure handle (4) onto the stem using screw
(5) and a phillips head screwdriver.
Insert button (6)into handle.
Models with stem extender for handle
Install stem extender (8) onto valve stem and secure with screw (9). Slide
handle onto stem extender and tighten set screw (10). Insert button (11) until

Remove plaster guard (1) from rough (2).
Note: Depending on the location of the valve in the wall and wall
thickness, an optional extension kit (RP92056) can provide an additional 1
3/4” of wall thickness.
Using supplied Hex wrench, install both antirotational pins (3) into holes (4) in the valve body.
USE CARE TO NOT DROP PINS BEHIND THE WALL. It is important that the rough be mounted in the wall as level as possible because of the square shape of this product. Slide trim sleeve (5) over the cartridge and bonnet aligning the two legs (6) of the sleeve over the anti-rotational pins (3). If the trim is not square, you can try removing a pin and holding the sleeve secure with the two set screws (7) provided. Make sure the sleeve is pushed all the way back so the legs of the sleeve rest against the valve body. The set screws (7) should be in a position where they hit just behind the bonnet nut (8). Tighten set screws (7).
Assemble the two mounting sleeves (9) and two mounting plates (10). Slide the mounting plate assemblies over the trim sleeve so that the tabs/plates (10) are at the top and bottom of the trim sleeve, as shown. Thread screws (11) into mounting plates just enough to assemble the two sides together. Slide the mounting plates back against the wall and finish tightening the screws (11).
Using the mounting plates (10) as a guide,enlarge hole around rough so that plates can be pushed up to 1/8″ into the wall. Tighten screws (11).
Place the center hole of the escutcheon (12) over the trim sleeve and
carefully push it back to the mounting plates (10).
Magnets on the back of the escutcheon will keep it in place.
Place handle (13) over valve stem (14) and onto the trim sleeve (5). Lever
should point horizontally to 3 o’clock position.
Secure handle with set screw (15).
