ThermoBalance III Rough Valve 06624000 ThermoBalance III Rough Valve with Stops 06628000

The cartridge shown is included with the trim kit.

The Service (Isolation) Stops

(For the sake of clarity, the plastic installation box (i-box) is not shown in these illustrations. Do not remove the ibox.)

Rough valve 06628000 has service stops (isolation stops) built onto the valve. When the slots are horizontal, the stops are in the “on” position. When the slots are vertical, the stops are in the “off” position. Use a 3 mm Allen wrench to open and close the

screwdriver slots

stops.

CAUTION: When connecting the hot and cold supplies, hold the stop steady with a wrench to avoid stop misalignment and breakage of the factory sealed thread compound.

English

Installation considerations:

For best results, this valve should be installed by a licensed professional plumber.

• Large pressure differences between the hot and cold supplies should be balanced for

• proper operation of the valve.

Before beginning the installation, read the instructions thoroughly. Inspect the product,

• and be sure that all parts are present and in good condition.

If you have questions or concerns regarding this installation, please contact Hansgrohe

• Technical Services at 800 334 0455.

Rough valve 06624000 does not include service stops. If stops are required by lo-

• cal plumbing code, order the stops separately (item #06900003) or use rough valve

06628000.

This ThermoBalance III rough valve is for use in a three-function shower

• only. All outlets must be plumbed. Do not plug any outlet.

If a two-function shower with a shared function is desired, follow the

• special piping instructions on page 5.

The ThermoBalance III rough requires a ThermoBalance III trim kit. Do not attempt to use

• any other trim kit.

Do not attempt to use this valve with a diverter tub spout.

A look at the ThermoBalance III

The ThermoBalance III has one outlet on the

• bottom of the valve (outlet I) and two on the top of the valve (outlets II & III).

Outlet I can only be run by itself. In a tub/

• shower installation, the tub spout is connected to outlet I.

Outlets II & III can be run either individually or

• simultaneously.

In a three-function shower, the user must decide

• PRIOR TO INSTALLATION which two functions he/she wishes to be able to run at the same time. These two functions must be plumbed from outlets II & III. Additionally, he/she must decide which function he/she wants to have come on first. As the handle is turned from the “off” position, outlet II will come on first.

Suggested Layouts - three feature systems

These are the most common installations using the ThermoBalance III valve, but are not the only ones possible.

The handshower is plumbed to outlet 1

- it can only be run by itself. The shower-

head is on 2 and the bodyjets on 3. The showerhead and bodyjets can be run either individually or at the same time. The showerhead comes on first.

In this tub/shower installation, the tub spout is on outlet 1 and can only be run by itself. The showerhead and handshower on outlets 2 and 3 can be run either individually or at the same time. The showerhead comes on first.

Special Piping – the two feature system

English

NO!

Do not plug any outlet on the ThermoBalance III

Installation:

Caution: Turn the water off at the main before continuing.

In this installation, the user wished to be able to use the showerhead and the bodysprays simultaneously. Note how outlet #1 is also connected to the showerhead.

OK!

Install the hot and cold supply lines on the rough. The hot supply must be connected to the hot inlet, and the cold supply must be connected to the cold inlet. In an older home, confirm that the hot and cold supplies are not reversed. If the supplies are not connected to the correct inlets, the valve cannot function correctly.

Model 06628000 only: When connecting the hot and cold supplies, hold the stop steady with a wrench to avoid stop misalignment and breakage of the factory sealed thread compound.

Install all outlet lines. Do not plug any outlet. The valve should be level in all planes.

(For the sake of clarity, the i-box is not shown in this illustration.)

English

Install the rough so that the outside surface of the finished wall falls between the “minimum” and “maximum” lines on the installation box (i-box). This will insure that the trim fits correctly.

The i-box must remain on the valve.

Install the wall material up to the i-box. When the trim is installed, the i-box will be trimmed nearly flush with the finished wall, and sealed to provide protection against water damage.

Flush the supplies using the flushing plug

The i-box incorporates a flushing plug to permit line flushing and pressure testing before the cartridge and trim are installed.

A pressure test of the piping should be performed before the walls are closed.

The flushing plug permits hot water to flow through outlets I & II and the cold water to flow through outlet III.

Install hose bibbs and hoses to the outlets. Flush the lines for at least 5 minutes. Use the hoses to direct the water to a location where it will not cause damage.

The flushing plug prevents cross flow. However, it will not stop the flow of water through the outlets. If the building is to be pressurized prior to installation of the cartridge, close the stops or plug the outlets.

Installation

Turn the water off at the main, or at the stops, before beginning.

Cut the installation box (i-box) so that it extends 1/16” outside the finished wall.

Seal the wall around the i-box with waterproof sealant.

Failure to seal the wall can lead to possible water damage.

Remove the label. Cut the eight support arms that connect the flush-

ing plug to the i-box. Remove the flushing plug. Do not discard the screws.

Be sure that the blue sealing

gasket is removed as well.

Failure to remove the gasket

can result in possible damage to the cartridge and possible water damage.

Insert the cartridge in the rough. The locator tab goes straight into the notch on the rough.

Use the flushing plug screws to connect the cartridge retainer plate to the rough. Tighten the screws evenly with a manual screwdriver. Do not over tighten the screws.

notch

locator tab

Perform the following test to check for damage to the ceramic plates inside the stop unit.

Failure to correctly perform this test can result in possible water damage.

Turn on the water supplies. Grasp the stop unit and turn it.

If there is a leak around the cartridge, turn the supplies off, and remove the cartridge. Confirm that the sealing gasket from the flushing plug was removed.

Reinstall the cartridge. Turn the stop unit.

If the unit continues to leak, contact Hansgrohe Customer Service for a replacement cartridge.

Solaris only (oval escutcheon): Snap the

white Duotec spacers onto the carrier plate. Install two Duotec strips on the spacers. Install the

two remaining strips on the back of the escutcheon (trim plate).

All other models (round escutcheon):

Install two Duotec strips directly on the carrier plate. Install the remaining two strips on the back of the escutcheon.

English

All models: Install the carrier plate and gasket

with the carrier plate screws. Press the escutcheon firmly over the carrier plate.

The strips of Duotec will interlock, producing a very firm hold.

Install the handle. Tighten the handle screw with a 3 mm Allen wrench. The handle screw must engage the slot milled into the brass on the bottom of the cartridge.

Set the high temperature limit stop (optional) – see page 11.

Justify the handle.

Tools required: Thermometer

3 mm Allen wrench Turn the valve on. Place the thermometer in the water stream.

Turn the temperature control knob until the output water is 100°F.

Turn the water off. Use a 3 mm Allen wrench to loosen the handle set

screw. Remove the handle from the valve (1).

Hold the handle lever in one hand. With the other hand, turn the temperature control knob approximately ½ turn clockwise (2a). Then, without pressing inward on it, turn it counterclockwise until it is positioned vertically and hits the safety stop (2b).

Install the handle (3). Tighten the screw.
