CAUTION: This system/device must be set by the installer to ensure safe, maximum temperature. Any change in the setting may raise the discharge temperature above the limit considered safe and may lead to hot water burns.

NOTICE TO INSTALLER: CAUTION!–As the installer of this valve, it is your responsibility to properly INSTALL and ADJUST this valve per the instructions given. This valve does not automatically adjust for inlet temperature changes, therefore, someone must make the necessary Rotational Limit Stop or temperature knob adjustments at the time of installation and further adjustments may be necessary due to seasonal water temperature change. YOU MUST inform the owner/user of this requirement by following the instructions. If you or the

owner/user are unsure how to properly make these adjustments, please refer to page 9, and if still uncertain, call us at 1-800-345-DELTA.

After installation and adjustment, you must afx

your name, company name and the date you adjusted the Rotational Limit Stop or temperature knob to the caution label provided and apply or attach the label to the back side of the closest

76653 Rev. B

cabinet door and the warning label to the water heater. Leave this Instruction Sheet for the

owner’s/user’s reference.

WARNING: This pressure balanced or thermostatic bath valve is designed to minimize the effects of outlet water temperature changes due to inlet pressure changes, commonly caused by dishwashers, washing machines, toilets and the like. It may not provide protection from hot water burns when there is a failure of other temperature controlling devices elsewhere in the plumbing system, if the rotational limit stop or temperature knob is not properly set or if the hot water temperature is changed after the settings are made or if the water inlet changes due to seasonal changes. WARNING: Do not install a shut-off device on either outlet of this valve. When this type of

device shuts off the water ow, it can defeat

the ability of the valve to balance the hot and cold water pressures.

MultiChoice® Rough-In Installation

SHUT OFF WATER SUPPLIES.

Consider the type and thickness of your finished wall before placing your stringer back plate. Install the body (1) so the surface of the finished wall is flush with the front of the plasterguard (2) ± 3/8". Note:

For models with stops (3), plasterguard

must be flush or subflush 3/8" to finished wall. Mount body using the two

stringer mounting holes (4) on the bracket.

Note: Remove cover (5) to access mounting holes. Make sure the word “UP”

(6) is on top of the valve body when installing.

Distance (1) from the stringer (2) to the

front of the plasterguard is 2.8" (71 mm).

Distance (3) from the stringer (2) to the

front of the bonnet is 3.9" (99 mm).

If a thin wall is used, be sure to have the plasterguard behind the wall, otherwise the wall should always be flush with the front of the plasterguard. See instruction on the bag for thin wall mounting.

MultiChoice® Rough-In Installation

Copper Tubing Iron Pipe

Connect valve body to water supplies using the proper fittings for your valve body type (copper tubing, iron pipe or Pex). Note: (1) is

the cold inlet port and (2) is the hot inlet port. If either of the two outlet ports is to be

unused, seal the port with a pipe plug.

Pex

If you are making a back to back or reverse installation (hot on right and

cold on left) install the valve body as described, but the water supply lines will be reversed. Note: (1) is the hot inlet

port and (2) is the cold inlet port.

no more than 18" (457 mm) long with only one iron pipe or copper 90 degree elbow to the tub spout nipple. Do not use PEX

tubing for tub spout drop.

PRESSURE TESTING & FLUSHING THE INSTALLATION

Prior to testing, remove cover (1) and bonnet nut (2) from the body. If this is not a thin wall mounting, the entire plasterguard (3) may be removed.

Insert adapter assembly (1) into valve body. Make sure the adapter assembly is correctly positioned and is pressed all the way down inside body. Remove the retainer (2) from the adapter.

MultiChoice® Rough-In Installation

thread onto the body. Hand tighten securely.

Plug both outlets with proper ttings. Check for leaks. After testing, remove cartridge, adapter, shower and/or tub spout plug and ush system by slowly turning on water supply to purge valve system of debris. After ushing, reinstall adaptor, cartridge, bonnet nut and cover. Install stops (1

& 2) in the models with stops and set to full open.

Note: Install stops as follows: Thread nut (1)

onto stem (2) as shown. Then press stem and nut assembly into body and tighten using

tooth for every 4°F - 6°F (approximate)

change in temperature. If water temperature is cooler than desired, rotate the limit stop counterclockwise.

IMPORTANT:

Rotational Limit Stop (the Limiter) is that position that restricts the rotation of the stem the most and is at the maximum clockwise setting. According to industry standards, the maximum allowable temperature of the water exiting from the valve is 120oF. This temperature may vary in your local area. The Rotational Limit Stop may need to be readjusted if the inlet water

temperature changes. For instance, during

the winter, the cold water temperature is colder than it is during the summer which could result in varying outlet temperatures. Typical temperature for a comfortable bath or shower is between 90o–110o F.

Faucet leaks from tub spout/showerhead:

SHUT OFF WATER SUPPLIES.

Replace valve carridge RP46463 or RP32104 See Helpful Hints 1, 2, 3 & 4.

Helpful Hints:

1. Before removing valve cartridge assembly for any maintenance, be sure to note the position of the rotational limit stop on the cap. The valve cartridge assembly must always be put back in the same

position. BE SAFE! After you have nished the installation, turn on valve to make sure COLD WATER FLOWS FIRST.

2. To remove valve cartridge from body, shut off water supplies and remove handle and bonnet nut. Do not pry the valve cartridge out of the body with a screwdriver. Place handle on stem and rotate counterclockwise approximately 1/4 turn after the stop has been contacted. Lift valve cartridge out of body.

Cleaning and Care

Care should be given to the cleaning

of this product. Although its nish is

extremely durable, it can be damaged by harsh abrasives or polish. To clean, simply wipe gently with a damp cloth and blot dry with a soft towel.

Remove seats and springs and replace. Place the largest diameter of the spring into the

seat pocket rst and then press the tapered end

of the seal over the spring. Reassemble valve cartridge and replace in body following instructions given in 1 above.

3. If the water in your area has lime, rust, sand or other contaminants in it, your pressure balance valve will require periodic inspection. The frequency of the inspection will depend on the amount of contaminants in the water. To inspect valve cartridge remove it and follow the steps in note 1 above. Turn the valve to the full mix position and shake the cartridge vigorously. If there is a rattling sound, the unit is functional and can be reinstalled following instructions given in note 1 above. If there is no rattle, replace the housing assembly with the proper RP.
