Installation Considerations

• For best results, Hansgrohe recommends that this unit be installed by a licensed, professional plumber.
• Please read over these instructions thoroughly before beginning installation. Make sure that you have all the tools and supplies needed to complete the installation.
• This trim is for use with iBox Universal Plus model 01850181 (not included).
• To prevent scald injury, the maximum output temperature of the shower valve must be no higher than 120°F. In Massachusetts, the maximum output temperature can be no higher than 112°F.
• Adjust the rotational limit stop (see page 22) during installation. Further adjustments may be necessary due to seasonal water temperature changes.
• Do not install a shut-off device on either outlet of this valve. The use of such a device can defeat the ability of the valve to balance the hot and cold water pressures.
• The pressure balance trim with the diverter is suitable for a two-function installation, such as a showerhead and tub spout, or showerhead and handshower.
• Do not use this trim in a one-function installation.
• Do not use a diverter tub spout.
• This mixing valve is for use with shower heads rated at 1.1 GPM (4.2 L/min) or higher.
• Keep this booklet and the receipt (or other proof of date and place of purchase) for this product in a safe place. The receipt is required should it be necessary to request warranty parts.

The rotational limit stop (see page 22) To reduce the risk of scald injury, adjust the rotational limit stop if:  The maximum output temperature is greater than 120°F (49°C) or that permitted by local plumbing code.

• The temperature of the incoming hot or cold water supply changes seasonally, or if changes are made to the water heater.

Service Stops

Important
The 01850181 iBox Universal Plus rough valve (not included) incorporates service (isolation) stops on the hot and cold inlets. Use a 4 mm Allen wrench to open and close the stops.

Tools Required

Installation Suggestions

• Do not use a diverter tub spout.

Flush the hot and cold supplies

• Remove the dust cover.
• Open both stops.
• Allow the hot and cold supplies to flush for at least 5 minutes.
• Close the stops.

Installation

1. To reduce the risk of scald injury and property damage, make sure the stops are closed. Cut the plaster shield so that it extends ¹⁄₁₆” – ⅛” (1-2 mm) from the finished wall surface.
2. Seal the wall around the plaster shield with waterproof sealant. Failure to seal the wall may result in property damage. Remove the flush insert screw, the flush insert, and the seals.
3. Dry the inside of the valve
4. Measure the distance from the front of the plaster
5. Add ½” to this measurement. Cut each screw so that it is X + ½” long.
6. Open the stops
7. Install the carrier plate so that the notch is at the bottom.
8. Test the valve: Temporarily install the handles. Turn the pressure balance handle counter-clockwise as far as it will go.
9. Make sure that cold water flows from the valve first, and becomes warmer as the handle is turned.
10. Use caution with skin contact to hot water to reduce the risk of scald injury. If the valve opens through hot, reverse the cartridge. See page 19.
11. Measure the temperature of the output water. If the maximum high temperature is greater than 120°F or that permitted by local plumbing code, adjust the rotational limit stop. See page 22.
12. Turn the water off.
13. Place a small amount of caulk at the top and side grout lines where the escutcheon will rest.
14. Lubricate the pressure balance cartridge o-ring using a small amount of white plumber’s grease. Install the sleeves. Install the escutcheon.
15. Lubricate the diverter stem with a small amount of white plumber’s grease. 15862xx1, 15864xx1: Install the handle adapter. Tighten the screw.
16. 15865xx1 only: Install the handle adapter and the snap connector. Tighten the screw.
17. Install the diverter handle.

Reverse the cartridge

1. Use caution with skin contact with hot water to reduce the risk of scald injury. If the valve opens through hot, reverse the cartridge. Close the stops.
2. Unscrew the nut.
3. Do not attempt to pry the cartridge from the function block by using a screwdriver as doing so can damage the cartridge. Damage to the cartridge can result in property damage.
4. Place the adapter and the handle on the cartridge stem. Turn the handle counter-clockwise approximately ¼ turn after hitting the stop.
5. Lift the cartridge out. Turn the cartridge 180°, so that the “hot side” marking is on the right. Install the cartridge Install the nut.
6. Open the stops. Continue the installation

Adjust the Rotational Limit Stop

1. Pull the white rotational limit stop outward.
2. Rotate clockwise to decrease the maximum temperature. Rotate counterclockwise to increase the maximum temperature.
3. The temperature change per notch may be anywhere from 4° – 16° F, depending on local inlet conditions. Repeat as necessary.
4. When finished, make sure that the rotational limit stop is fully retracted. Continue the installation.

User Instructions

It is normal for the showerhead and/or the tub spout to drip for several minutes after the valve is turned off. Water left in the showerhead/tub spout is draining away. It does not mean that the shower valve is leaking. To reduce the risk of property damage or product failure, do not use excess force on the handle to stop the dripping. The use of the excess force will break the cartridge.

Maintenance

Should the volume of water decrease over time, first inspect and clean the showerhead(s). If the problem persists, inspect the cartridge. At least once per year, inspect the cartridge, including the check valves on the rear of the cartridge. Replace the cartridge if dirty or worn, or if leaking when in the off position. Use caution with skin contact to hot water to reduce the risk of scald injury. Before servicing the valve, turn the water off using the stops on the iBox Universal Plus or at the main shutoff.
