IMPORTANT!

Read this entire installation manual to ensure proper installation. When finished with the installation,
file this manual with the owner or maintenance department. Compliance and conformity to local
codes and ordinances is the responsibility of the installer. Rough in the shower according to the
instructions provided with your shower.

The maximum temperature for this valve has been set to approximately 110°F (43°C) with an
incoming hot water temperature of 140°F (60°C). This maximum temperature may need to be adjusted
based on the installation conditions or application. The maximum inlet temperature of the valve is
180°F (82°C), with a recommended inlet temperature of 120°F - 180°F (49°C-82°C). The valve has a
maximum operating pressure of 125 PSI (860 kPA). Water temperature over 110° may result in serious
scalding. Excessive heat to the valve may cause damage to internal parts.

Separate parts from packaging and make sure all parts are accounted for before discarding
packaging material. If any parts are missing, do not begin installation until you obtain the missing
parts.

Make sure that all water supply lines have been flushed and then completely turned off before
beginning installation. Debris in supply lines can cause valves to malfunction.

Product warranties may be found under “Products” on our web site at www.bradleycorp.com.

Connect Valve and Adjust Valve Temperature

Position valve with port labeled “UP” towards showerhead.
Connect valve to hot and cold supplies and showerhead or tub

A

spout supplies.

Turn on hot and cold supplies to pressurize valve and check for
leaks. (Valve will not operate unless both hot and cold supplies are
turned on.) Adjust maximum temperature using a 3/32" hex-head

B

Allen key. The range of the thermostat is 95° F to 115° F (35° C to
46° C).

Check the temperature when
approximately 2.5-4 GPM water
flow is reached (equivalent to
one shower).

"Back-to-Back" Installation

On the valve that is "backwards":

• Turn off hot and cold supplies.

• Remove (2) screws that hold down cap.

• Remove entire valve assembly from the valve body and

rotate 180°. Arrow on cap must point to HOT side. Re-install
screws.

This device must be checked for final temperature and
adjusted as necessary. The standard preset factory
temperature setting is 110°F (43°C). Consult proper
medical and/or safety authorities for the optimum
temperature recommended for your particular application.

Shut the hot water supply off by closing hot water inlet valve or supply check valve. While the hot water supply is turned off, check
to make sure the cold water is reduced to .5 GPM or less. If the cold water is reduced properly, reopen the hot water supply.

Shut the cold water supply off by closing the cold water inlet valve or supply check valve. While the cold water supply is off, check
to make sure that the hot water flow has shut down. If hot water is shut down, reopen cold water supply. Test unit weekly for proper
function and desired set temperature.

Attach Escutcheon and Handle

The included foam rim seal may be applied to the back of
the escutcheon 1/4" from the outer edge, with the seam
at the bottom.

If the Rough-in Shield is used, remove the shield before
installing the escutcheon and handle.

DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!!!

Place the escutcheon and handle on the
wall over the valve and secure with the

Troubleshooting Thermostatic Mixing Shower Valve

Before attempting to troubleshoot the valve or disassemble the components, check for the following:

• Stop/check valves are fully open and that all inlet and outlet shut-off valves are open

• Hot and cold inlet pipes are connected properly, and that there are no cross-connectio ns or leaking

stop/check valves

• Water heater output is at least 15° F above the set temperature.

Be sure to close the appropriate shut-off valves prior to disassembly of the valve and reopen the valves
after inspection and repair is complete.

valve seat, limiting the movement of the stop/
checks.

Thermostat is slowly failing. Inspect Thermostat:

Inlet supply line to the mixing valve is being
shared by other pieces of equipment that are
used only periodically, such as laundry appliances
or washdown stations. It may reduce the inlet
pressure to the mixing valve to less than 3 PSI.
The supply line size may not be large enough to
supply both the valve and the other appliances.

Valve temperature is not properly set. Adjust the temperature as described on page 4.
Piston does not move freely and must be cleaned. Clean the piston as described below.

Replace the NPT joints and/or o-rings where necessary. For
replacement of o-rings, order the o-ring/seat kit as specified
in the included Service Guide.

Clean Stop and Check Valves:

Remove the stop and checks, clean the screen and seat
and reassemble the valve. Do not remove the seat. The
components may be brushed with a small wire brush to
remove debris. If the stop/check valves need to be replaced,
contact your Bradley representative and ask for Stop/Check
Valve (S27-102).

1. At room temperature (80°F or less), remove the valve
assembly from the valve body as described below.

2. Place the thermostat into a small container filled with
115°F water. The thermostat's pushrod should pop
out of the thermostat approximately 1/10".

3. If the pushrod does not pop out, the thermostat must
be replaced (it cannot be repaired). Order a new
thermostat kit as specified in the Service Guide.

Enlarge the supply line size, reconfigure the supply line or
regulate the supply usage.

Troubleshooting: Piston Disassembly and Cleaning

Check the piston for free and smooth movement

Remove the handle and escutcheon to expose the valve
assembly. Loosen the two screws that hold the valve
assembly in the valve body. Remove the valve assembly.

Gently pry the retainer off the valve assembly. This will
separate the cap and liner exposing other components.
Disassemble components.

Push in on the piston with your finger (the piston should
move freely). If not, the piston and liner assembly needs
to be cleaned.

Clean the piston and liner assembly with any cleaner
suitable for brass and stainless steel (400-grit sandpaper
may be used to polish and hone the piston and liner). If
the piston does not move freely after a thorough cleaning,
the piston/liner assembly must be replaced.
