Chicago Faucet 1905-CP, 1905-600CP Installation Manual

Note: Installation should be in accordance with accepted
plumbing practices. Flush all piping thoroughly before
installation.

TO INSTALL

1. Position mixer 1-15/16" ± 1/2" [49mm ± 13mm] from inlet
center to finished wall surface. The tub outlet port is marked
“TUB” and should face down. Facing front of mixer, connect
hot water to left side and connect cold water to right side.
The valve has “C” and “H” cast into the body near the
appropriate inlet ports.

2. Valve is factory-set for standard inlets. If reversed inlets
are required due to back-to-back installation (Cold water
supply on the left and Hot water supply on the right), follow
instructions a – d below:
a. Connect cold inlet to hot port (“H”) and hot inlet to

cold port (“C”). Note: Do not turn valve upside down.
If valve is upside down, water will not flow properly
through tub spout or showerhead.

b. Turn water off with checkstops, remove bonnet and

cartridge.

c. Reinstall cartridge. “H” on the cold side of the valve body

and “C” should be on the hot side of the valve body.

d. Reinstall bonnet with high temperature limit stop on it.

Note: Be certain that valve opens in full cold!

e. Hot and Cold inlets should be re-identified for reversed

inlets to avoid confusion during future maintenance.

3. For tub and shower installations (see Figure 1). Pipe
bottom outlet port “TUB” directly to the diverter tub spout.
The mixer body is designed to operate without the use of a
twin ell. Pipe top outlet port “S” to the showerhead.

4. For shower only installation (see Figure 2). Pipe top outlet
port “S” directly to the showerhead and plug bottom port.

5. Rough-in guide installation:
a. When piping installation is complete and before doing

the finished wall, slide rough-in guide onto the mixer
stem and press it into place (see Figure 4).

b. The rough-in guide will insure the proper size opening for

mixer and checkstop shut-off and repair accessibility, as well
as protect the chrome-plated sleeve from damage during
drywall and tile installation.

6. To install dial gaskets, peel backing off gaskets and attach
gaskets to inside of dial plate. Attach indicator plate gasket
to the back of the trim plate making sure horizontal holes
on the gasket matches horizontal holes on the trim plate.
Indicator plate locator hole matches diagonal hole on the
trim plate. Peel off backing of the trim plate gasket and
attach to the inside top edge of the trim plate. Gasket
should be approximately 1/16" beyond the plate edge.

7. a. Install trim plate.
b. Snap on the indicator plate. Guide on the back of the

plate goes into the locator hole.

c. Install sleeve O-ring on the bonnet. Slide sleeve on the

bonnet.

CAUTION: Indicator plate must be installed before sleeve.

d. Install handle and tighten the set screw.

CAUTION: When soldering during installation process, do not
heat the valve any higher than the temperature required to
flow solder. Excessive overheating of the valve may cause
damage to the cartridge mechanism. By following this

recommendation, you will be able to solder the valve
without removing either the cartridge or the checkstop
internals. If either brazing or resistance (electric) solder is to

be used, all valve internals must be removed.

8. Maximum temperature setting adjustment (see Figure 5)
must be set on the job to in no case greater than 110°F
(43°C). The high temperature limit stop is located on the
bonnet. Rotate handle to the maximum desired outlet
temperature. With an open-end wrench, screw high
temperature limit stop into bonnet until it touches stem’s
shoulder. Close valve and open it to full hot to verify settings.
