ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

• Shut off water supply to the tub and shower. Verify that the hole sizes and position of the holes in the wall are correct.
  IMPORTANT: Complete valve replacement is required for this tub/ shower unit. An access hole  must be cut with enough room to install the new tub/ shower valves inside the wall. Professional installation  is recommended.
  CAUTION: Do not use PEX tubing for pipe from the valve to the tub spout.

• Unscrew the screws (2.1), and remove the plaster guard (2.2).

• Tub and shower outlet connections: Wrap thread sealant tape around the pipe threads in a clockwise direction as shown.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The handles control the flow of hot and cold water to the faucet. Turn the right handle for cold water. Turn the left handle for hot water. Rotating the handles opens the cartridges and causes water to flow from the spout. The degree of handle rotation determines the volume of water flow. Returning the handles to the original position stops the flow of water.
