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.

how to properly make these adjustments

refer to page 5
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 to the caution

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 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.

Adjusting the Rotational Limit Stop

B.

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”
when a person is showering. The rst position

allows the

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.

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

LEAST

1

amount of hot water to mix with

Hotter

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 coun­terclockwise 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 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.

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

CODE.
