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 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.

Cartridge Installation

A. B.

Turn off water supplies.

Remove
cover (1), bonnet nut (2) and test cap (3)
from the body. If this is not a thin wall
mounting, the entire plasterguard (4)
may be removed. If screen (5) is in place,
remove before installing cartridge.

Rotate the cartridge (1) so the letter

“H” (2) appear on the left. Insert

cartridge into valve body as shown. Make
sure the cartridge tubes and O-rings (3)
are properly seated in holes at the base of
the body. Ensure the keys on the body are
fully engaged with the slots in the body (4).

Back to back Installation C.

For back to back or reverse installations

(hot on right and cold on left) insert the

cartridge with the “H” on the right.

If you are not making a reverse or back
to back installation skip this step and
continue with step 1C.

Slide bonnet nut (1) over the cartridge

and thread onto the body. Hand tighten

securely.

Adjusting the Rotational Limit Stop

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 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 6, step 3C) 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

be

less than 120°F or to meet the

requirements of

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.

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.

See Helpful Hints 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5

Unable to maintain constant
water temperature:

Replace housing assembly with RP46074 or follow

instructions in Helpful Hints 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5.

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 o󰀨

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.

3. To remove seats and springs.
Remove valve cartridge. Separate cap assembly
from the housing assembly by rotating the cap
assembly counterclockwise 90 o (degrees).
Separate cap and housing assemblies.

4. 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.

5. Push disc until fully seated. See page 6 for

ADVERTENCIA: Esta válvula de presión
balanceada y termostática está diseñada
para minimizar los efectos de los cambios de
temperatura de agua por causa de los cambios
de presión en el agua de entrada, comúnmente
causados por lavadoras de platos, lavadoras
de ropa, inodoros, y otros aparatos por el
estilo. Puede no proporcionar protección de
quemaduras de agua caliente cuando hay
alguna falla de otros aparatos para el control
de temperatura en otro sitio en el sistema de
plomería. También no proporcionará protección
si el tope del límite rotacional la temperatura

no está apropiadamente jo o si cambia la

temperatura del agua caliente después de
hacer los ajustes o si los cambios del gua de
entrada son por los cambios estacionales.

ADVERTENCIA: No instale un aparato de corte
o cierre en cualquiera de las tomas de esta
válvula. Cuando este tipo de aparato cierra el

ujo de agua, puede hacer fallar la habilidad de

la válvula de balancear las presiones del agua
caliente y fría.

El instalador debe apostar este systema/divisa para
garantizar temperatura maximo y seguro. Cualqueir
cambio en el ajuste puede subir la temperatura

del agua de descarga sobre el límite considerado

seguro y puede resultar en quemaduras de agua
caliente.

AVISO PARA EL INSTALADOR:
PRECAUCIÓN – Como instalador de esta
válvula, es su responsabilidad de INSTALAR Y
AJUSTAR apropiadamente esta válvula como
