Distance (1) from the stringer (2) to the front of the plasterguard is 2 3/4″ ± 1/4″ (70 mm ± 6 mm).
Note: This is the same distance to the finished wall (3). Distance (4) from the stringer (2) to the front of the bonnet is 3 7/8″ (99 mm).
(For reference only)

If a thin wall is used, be sure to have the plasterguard behind the wall, otherwise the wall should always be flush with the front of the plasterguard. See instruction on the bag for thin wall mounting.
Note: For thin wall installation, RP47202 might be needed

The figure illustrates the diverter and MultiChoice installed in the same finished wall.
Note: Refer to the diverter rough installation instructions for more information.

Connect valve body to water supplies using the proper fittings for your valve body type (copper tubing, iron pipe or Pex).

If you are making a back to back or reverse installation (hot on right and cold on left) install the valve body as described, but the water supply lines will be reversed.
Note: (1) is the hot inlet port and (2) is the cold inlet port.

Remove bonnet (1) and test cap (2) before soldering. Leave screen (3) installed.
Warning: Avoid soldering at high temperature. Exposure to high temperatures may damage screen. Be sure stops (4) are removed from the w/stops version before soldering. (Do not install before soldering.)

Do not use PEX tubing for tub spout drop. Note: There is no tub outlet in high flow models.

Plug both outlets with proper fittings. Check for leaks. After testing remove shower and/or tub spout plug and flush system. After flushing remove filter screen (5) and reinstall cap, bonnet and cover. Install stops (6 & 7) in the w/stops version and set to full open. Note: Install stops in the w/stops version as follows:
Thread nut (6) on stem (7) as shown. Then press stem and nut assembly into body (8) and tighten using a 3/8″, 6 point, deep well socket. With a flat head screwdriver, adjust stem clockwise to close and counterclockwise to open.
