KALLISTA P24015 Tuxedo Pressure Balance Trim

Product Information

KALLISTA Pressure Balance Trim

The KALLISTA Pressure Balance Trim is a plumbing fixture designed to regulate water temperature and pressure in the shower or bath. It comes in various models, including P24015, P24016, P24115, P24116, P24215, P24216, P24415, and P24416. The valve is pressure-balanced and shuts off by water pressure. The trim is manufactured by KALLISTA, a well-known brand for high-quality plumbing fixtures.

Product Installation Instructions

Before installing the KALLISTA Pressure Balance Trim, observe all local plumbing and building codes. Shut off the main water supply before installing the trim. The finished wall or bath/shower unit must be installed beforehand. Determine if the maximum water temperature is acceptable before installing the trim. If temperature adjustment is needed, refer to the Water Temperature Adjustment section below. Do not force the handle in any direction; turn it gently to the Off position to shut off the valve.

Water Temperature Adjustment

The installer must set the maximum water temperature setting of the valve to minimize the risks associated with scalding hazards according to ASTM F 444 before completing the installation. Follow these steps to adjust the water temperature:

1. Discard the plaster guard and turn the valve clockwise to the full open position.
2. After several minutes, check the temperature.
3. For minor temperature changes, adjust the setscrew and recheck the temperature.
4. For major temperature changes, remove the O-ring and collar but do not discard them. Slowly turn the valve stem to adjust the temperature.

Important Instructions

Do not install a shut-off device on either outlet of the valve. The installation of any such device may create a cross-flow condition at the valve and affect the water temperature. Factors that change the temperature of the water supplied to the valve, such as seasonal water temperature changes, and water heater replacement or servicing, will change the maximum water temperature supplied by the valve and may create a scalding hazard. The pressure-balanced valve will not compensate for changes in the water supply temperature; adjust the maximum water temperature setting of this pressure- balanced valve when such changes occur. Pressure-balanced valves may not provide protection against scalding if there is a failure of other temperature-limiting devices elsewhere in the plumbing system.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

• Observe all local plumbing and building codes.
• Shut off the main water supply.
• The finished wall or bath/shower unit must be installed prior to installing this trim.
• We recommend that you determine if the maximum water temperature is acceptable before installing this trim. If temperature adjustment is needed, refer to the Water Temperature Adjustment section.
• The valve shuts off by water pressure. Do not force the handle in any direction. To turn the valve off, gently turn it to the “Off” position.
• KALLISTA reserves the right to make revisions in the design of products without notice, as specified in the Price Book.

WATER TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT

CAUTION: Risk of personal injury. The water temperature should never be set above 120° F (49° C).
NOTE: Do not remove the O-ring and collar at this time. Removing the O-ring and collar will change the factory setting for the maximum water temperature.

• Discard the plaster guard.
• Turn the valve clockwise to the full open position. After several minutes, check the temperature.
• For minor temperature changes, adjust the setscrew and recheck the temperature.
• For major temperature changes, remove the o-ring and the collar. Slowly turn the valve stem to adjust the maximum water temperature.
• Reinstall the collar with the setscrew against the tab. Reinstall the O-ring.
• Recheck the temperature.
• Turn the valve stem counterclockwise to the “OFF” position.

NOTE: After adjustment, complete the required information on the valve label (if supplied).

DIVERTER ASSEMBLY (IF APPLICABLE)

NOTE: If the diverter stem has an E-clip and an O-ring, these must be removed before the actuator and guide can be installed.

• Position the actuator over the diverter stem. Secure with setscrew.

INSTALL THE FACEPLATE AND HANDLE

• Tiled Wall Installations Only, apply silicone sealant.
• Fit diverter seal over diverter actuator (if applicable) and valve seal over valve stem, as shown. Align the notches in the valve seal with the threaded holes in the valve.
• Install the faceplate onto the valve. Secure with two screws. Do not overtighten.
• Rotate the valve stem fully counter clockwise.
• Slide the collar onto the valve.
• Place the handle assembly over the valve stem so that the setscrew is aligned with the large groove on the valve stem. If using the lever handle, make sure that the handle points straight down. Tighten the setscrew.
