When soldering, remove PLASTER GUARD, CARTRIDGES and CHECK STOPS (IF PRESENT). When finished soldering,
NOTE

sealant or Teflon tape on threaded connections.
See Roughing-in diagram before starting.
Connections are:
1/2" female NPT for threaded inlets
Connect RISER PIPE (1) to MANIFOLD (2)
top outlet marked "SHR".
For proper positioning the finished wall
must be within side wall of PLASTER
GUARD (3).
CAUTION
Turn off water at main supply.
If the valve is installed on a fiberglass
or other thin wall application, the
PLASTER GUARD (3) can be used as a support.
Cut a 4" dia. hole in the shower stall.

ADJUST HOT LIMIT STOP

By restricting HANDLE rotation and limiting the amount of hot
water allowed to mix with the cold, the HOT LIMIT SAFETY
STOP (1) reduces risk of accidental scalding. To set the maximum
hot water temperature of your faucet, all you need to do
is adjust the setting on the HOT LIMIT SAFETY STOP (1).
Turn CARTRIDGE STEM (2) to the OFF position (coldest setting)
before making adjustment to HOT LIMIT STOP (1). Use a
flat blade screwdriver to pry free the HOT LIMIT SAFETY STOP (1).
Pull forward and rotate counterclockwise one number to limit hot
water temperature. Use ARROW (3) on CARTRIDGE (4) and
NUMBERS (5) on HOT LIMIT STOP (1) for indication.
