Installation Instructions
Pressure Balance Tub and Shower
The valve connection complies with ASTM F1807 and CSA B137 and is suitable for use with SDR9 PEX tubing using system of joining. It can not be used a cold expansion fitting using PEX reinforcing ring and PEX tubing copper crimp ring.
1. Turn off water supplies.
2. Install valve, making sure “UP” outlet is facing up. Connect water
supplies to valve (hot water to the left and cold water to the right). Use
compound or tape on all threaded connections.
2- 1. For thin wall installations with fiberglass, acrylic or other pre-fab
shower walls; the valve can be tightened snug to the shower wall by utilizing
the plaster guard against the back of the shower wall. For thick wall
installations with tile, stone or marble shower walls; an optional in wall
stringer (by other) is recommended.
2-2. Mount the body to a 2×4 stringer using the two holes on the brackets.
These holes can be accessed through holes in the plaster guard cover. If the
plaster guard needs to be removed, pull on the clip underneath to detach it
from the valve body.
2-3. When soldering inlet or outlet connections, the cartridge and integral
stops must be removed from the valve body. The cartridge and stops include
rubber and plastic pieces that can be damaged by heat.
3. Connect shower and spout units to valve. Do not attach showerhead to
shower arm until after you have flushed the system. If no shower is to be
installed, use a 1/2” plug to close the top opening of the valve. If no spout
is to be used, use a 1/2” plug to close the bottom opening of the valve.
NOTE: PEX tubing installed from the valve body to tub spout restricts
water flow and could cause water to drip from showerhead. Always run copper or
CPVC from the valve body to the tub spout.
4. After all connections are made, test and flush the system. Turn on the
water and check connections for any leaks. Place handle on the valve stems and
flush lines by running hot and cold water uninterrupted for one minute.
5. Turn off water and connect the showerhead.
6. Remove handle and push valve escutcheon over the protruding valve assembly
and secure with screws. Then replace handle.
Adjusting Temperature Limit Stop
Remove the handle to the valve. The temperature limit stop can be found by removing the trim cap. The preset temperature can be changed by first removing the limit stop (chrome metal ring). Then catch the chrome metal ring with long nose pliers and pull out from the cartridge.
- Reinstall to the left of the original position in the cartridge for a higher temperature.
- Reinstall to the right of the original position in the cartridge for a lower temperature.
Replace the trim cap and handle to the valve.
Warning: Failure to adjust the limit stop screw properly may result in serious scalding. This shower system may not protect the user from scalding when there is a failure of other temperature control devices in the plumbing system.
For New Installation
An optional plaster guard has been included. This is used as a template for
hole size and to protect the valve from construction.
