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 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 6 and if still uncertain, call us at 1-800-345-DELTA.

After installation and adjustment, you must a󰀩x

your name, company name and the date you adjusted the Rotational Limit Stop to the caution

label provided and apply or attach the label to the back side of the closest 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 e󰀨ects 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 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-o󰀨 device on either outlet of this valve. When this type of

device shuts o󰀨 the water ow, it can defeat

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

Adjusting the Rotational Limit Stop

-For RLS With Removable Disc

Hotter

Disc

Stem

1st Position

IMPORTANT:

The Rotational Limit Stop is used to limit the amount of hot water available such that, if set properly, the user will not be scalded if the handle accidentally is rotated all the way to “hot”

when a person is showering or lling a tub. The rst position allows the LEAST amount of hot

water to mix with the cold water in the system.

In the rst position the water will be the coldest

possible when the handle is turned all the way to hot. As you move the Rotational Limit Stop counterclockwise, you progressively add more and more hot water in the mix. The last position to the left will result in the greatest amount of hot water to the mix, and the greatest risk of scald injury if someone accidentally turns the valve handle all the way to the hot side while showering

or lling a tub.

WARNING: In some instances, setting the Rotational Limit Stop in the hottest position (full counterclockwise) could result in scald injury. It is necessary to adjust the Rotational Limit Stop so that the water coming out of the valve will not scald the user when the handle of the valve is rotated to the hot side.

• According to the majority of industry standards, the maximum allowable temperature of the water

exiting the valve is 120°F (Your local plumbing

codes may require a water temperature less than

120°F).

• The Rotational Limit Stop may need to be readjusted seasonally if the inlet water temperature changes. For example, during the winter, the cold water temperature is colder than it is during the summer which could result in varying outlet temperatures. A water temperature for

a comfortable bath or shower is typically between 90°F - 110°F.

• Run the water so that the cold water is as cold as it will get and hot water is as hot as

it will get. Place the handle on the stem (see page 8, step 4C) and rotate the handle coun-

terclockwise until the handle stops.

• Place a thermometer in a plastic tumbler and hold in the water stream. If the water temperature is above 120°F, the Rotational Limit Stop must be repositioned clockwise to decrease valve outlet water temperature to less than 120°F or to meet the your local plumbing codes.

• To adjust the temperature of the water coming out of the valve, pull the disc back to a position where it is possible to remove the Rotational Limit Stop and readjust the teeth

engagement position to the desired temperature. Clockwise will decrease the outlet temperature, counterclockwise will increase the outlet temperature. Temperature

change per tooth (notch) could be 4° - 16°F

based on inlet water conditions. Repeat as necessary. Push disc until fully seated.

WARNING: Failure to re-install Disc after setting Rotational Limit Stop could result in scald injury.

• MAKE SURE COLD WATER FLOWS FROM THE VALVE FIRST. MAKE SURE WATER FLOWING FROM THE VALVE AT THE HOTTEST FLOW POSSIBLE DOES NOT EXCEED 120°F OR THE MAXIMUM ALLOWED BY YOUR LOCAL PLUMBING CODE.

IMPORTANT:

The Rotational Limit Stop is used to limit the amount of hot water available such that, if set properly, a scald injury is less likely to occur if the handle accidentally is rotated all the way to “hot”

water to mix with the cold water in the system.

In the rst position the water will be the coldest

a comfortable bath or shower is typically between 90°F - 110°F.

• Run the water so that the cold water is as cold as it will get and hot water is as hot as

it will get. Place the handle on the stem (see page 8, step 4C) and rotate the handle coun-

terclockwise until the handle stops.

• To adjust the temperature of the water coming out of the valve, pull the white

Rotational Limit Stop (1) outward and rotate.

Clockwise rotation will decrease the outlet temperature, counterclockwise rotation will increase the outlet temperature. Temperature

change per tooth (notch) could be 4° - 16°F

based on inlet water conditions. Repeat as

necessary. When nished, make sure that the

Rotational Limit Stop is fully retracted into the seated position. WARNING: Do not take the

Rotational Limit Stop apart.

• MAKE SURE COLD WATER FLOWS FROM THE VALVE FIRST. MAKE SURE WATER FLOWING FROM THE VALVE AT THE HOTTEST FLOW POSSIBLE DOES NOT EXCEED 120°F OR THE MAXIMUM ALLOWED BY YOUR LOCAL PLUMBING CODE.
