THIS VALVE MEETS OR EXCEEDS THE FOLLOWING STANDARDS: ASME A112.18.1/ CSA B125.1 and ASSE 1016 (Type -P- or -T-).
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 page 6 and if still uncertain, call us at 1-800-345-DELTA. After installation and  djustment, you must affix your name, company name and the date you adjusted the Rotational Limit Stop 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 or thermostatic bath valve is designed to minimize the effects of outlet water temperature changes due to inlet pressure 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, 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.
WARNING: 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 nuts (1) and test caps (2) from the rough-in body (3). Place a bucket or small container over the front of the valve body and slowly open the water supplies to flush any debris from the supply lines before installing the cartridge. Turn the water supplies back off.
Insert adapter assembly (1) into rough-in body (2). Make sure the adapter assembly is correctly positioned and is pressed all the way downthe  insidethe rough-in body.

Rotate cartridge (1) so the words “HOT SIDE” (2) appear on the left. Insert cartridge assembly into rough-in body. Make sure the key (3) on the valve cartridge is fully engaged with the slot in the brass body (4). Insert bonnet nut (5) over the cartridge and thread onto the body. Hand tighten securely, slide o-ring (6) over bonnet and cartridge. A light coating of plumbers grease applied to o-rings may aid in assembly.

For the exceptions of back-to-back or reverse installations (hot on right and cold on left) only: Rotate valve cartridge (1) so “HOT SIDE” (2) appears on the right.
Apply silicone lube to the three o-rings shown above to make the cartridge easier to install and remove from the rough-in body.
Install the cartridge making sure that the keys are fully engaged with the slot in the rough-in body (see step C).
Slide o-ring (3) and bonnet nut (4) over the cartridge and thread onto the rough-in body. Hand tightens securely.

Diverter Cartridge Installation

FOR DIVERTER CARTRIDGE
INSTALLATION: Apply silicone lube to the o-ring (2) to make the diverter sleeve (3) easier to install the diverter cartridge. A light coating of plumber grease applied to o-rings (4) may aid in assembly. Install diverter cartridge (1) assuring that the locating pin on the bottom of the cartridge aligns with the mating hole in the rough-in body. Slide diverter sleeve (3) over cartridge stem aligning tabs on the diverter sleeve with slots in the rough-in body (5).

For Bonnet Installation
Slide bonnet nut (1) over diverter sleeve (2) and thread into rough-in body. Hand tighten securely.

Trim Installation

Trim Sleeve Installation
Slide trim sleeve (1) over the bonnet (2), cartridge and rough-in body. Ensure sleeve is properly positioned over the front of cartridge.

Escutcheon Installation
For finished wall thickness up to 1 1/8″. Secure the backplate (1) to the rough-in body (2) using 4 screws (3) provided.
Note: Be sure backplate is oriented front side forward and markings are visible. Slide escutcheon (4) over diverter cartridge, thread trim nut (5) onto diverter sleeve (6).
Note: For thick wall installation, visit delta faucet website, check “parts & accessories diagram” of the models you bought, order the appropriate thick wall installation kit RP to support finished wall thickness up to 2 1/8. On rough or uneven surfaces it is necessary to apply caulk around the backplate (1) to supplement the seal. Do not caulk the drip notch in the bottom of the backplate (1). Do not caulk the escutcheon (4).

Install volume control handle (1) with lever pointing down, then turn to the on position. DO NOT SECURE WITH SCREW.

Installation and Adjustment of the Rotational Limit Stop

Secure temperature control knob (1) with screw (2). See next step (D) for securing temperature control cover (3).

Install adapter (1) over valve stem (2) and secure it with screw (3).
Install washer (4) onto handle (5), slide the handle onto the adapter and secrue it with set screw (6), then cover set screw with handle button (7).
If the water temperature is above 120°F, remove and rotate the limit stop (1) clockwise one tooth for every 4°F – 6°F (approximate) change in temperature. If water temperature is cooler than desired, rotate the limit stop counterclockwise. IMPORTANT: The first position of the Rotational Limit Stop (the Limiter) is the position that restricts the rotation of the stem the most and is at the maximum clockwise setting. According to industry standards, the maximum allowable temperature of the water exiting from the valve is 120 o F. This temperature may vary in your local area. The Rotational Limit Stop may need to be readjusted if the inlet water temperature changes. For instance, during the winter, the cold water temperature is colder than it is during the summer which could result in varying outlet temperatures. Typical temperature for a comfortable bath or the shower is between 90 o o –110 F.

Snap temperature control cover over temperature control knob by first aligning smaller tab (1) on a cover with receiving slot (2) on temperature knob. Swing larger tab (3) to engage with snap feature (4). Note: If disassembly is required, reverse this motion, disengaging larger tab (3) from snap feature (4) first.
Potential scald or thermal shock injury could result due to cross flow if the outlet at the shower is blocked or restricted (e.g., pause control on hand shower). Be sure to point hand shower away from you when re-starting flow or install inlet check valves on both supply lines to prevent possible injury.

Diverter Handle Installation

Diverter Handle Installation
Slide diverter handle (1) onto trim sleeve (2). Using a allen wrench, insert set screw (3) into handle (1). Applying pressure, insert set screw cover (4), if included, until properly seated.

See Helpful Hints 1, 2 & 3.
Helpful Hints:

1. Before removing the valve cartridge assembly for any maintenance, be sure to note the position of the rotational limit stop on the cap. The valve cartridge assembly must always be put back in the same position. BE SAFE! After you have finished the installation, turn on the valve to make sure COLD WATER FLOWS FIRST.

2. To remove the valve cartridge from the body, shut off water supplies and remove the handle and bonnet nut. Do not pry the valve cartridge out of the body with a screwdriver. Place the handle on stem and rotate counterclockwise approximately 1/4 turn after the stop has been contacted. Lift valve cartridge out of body.
   Remove seats and springs and replace them.
   Place the largest diameter of the spring into the seat pocket first and then press the tapered end of the seal over the spring. Reassemble valve cartridge and replace in body following instructions given in 1 above.

3. If the water in your area has lime, rust, sand or other contaminants in it, your pressure balance valve will require periodic inspection. The frequency of the inspection will depend on the amount of contaminants in the water. To inspect valve cartridge remove it and follow the steps in note 1 above. Turn the valve to the full mix position and shake the cartridge vigorously. If there is a rattling sound, the unit is functional and can be reinstalled following the instructions given in note 1 above. If there is no rattle,  replace the housing assembly with the proper RP.
