WARNING: 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 scalds.

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, it is necessary to adjust the Rotational Limit Stop at the time of installation. You must inform the owner/user of this requirement by following the instructions below. After installation and adjustment, you must write in the temperature and the date you adjusted the Rotational Limit Stop on the warning label provided and apply or attach it to the hot water heater. Be sure this instruction sheet is delivered to the owner/user.

WARNING: This pressure balanced 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 scalding 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 Rotational Limit Stop is set, or if the water inlet temperature changes due to seasonal changes.

INSTALLER: LEAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR OWNER'S/USER'S REFERENCE

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions could prevent the mixer/transfer valve from functioning properly.

1. Shut OFF water supplies.

2. Install the body (1) so the surface of the ﬁ nished wall is ﬂ ush with the front of the plasterguard (2). The plasterguard is mounted on the body using the two stringer mounting holes (3) on the bracket. NOTE:

Remove cover (4) to access body mounting holes. Ensure the

word "UP" (5) is on top of the valve body when installing.

3. Install transfer valve so that the transfer valve inlet connects to the top port of the mixer valve. See below. The transfer valve must be located at least 4-15/16" (center to center) away from the mixer valve. A left-hand thread to sweat adaptor and gasket are required for this connection. Use a 1/2" copper pipe size, a taper to sweat adaptor, and a female thread to sweat adaptor to ﬁ nish the connections from transfer valve to mixer valve. Copper pipe and adaptors not provided.

Connect hot and cold supply lines to left and right inlets of mixer body. Left is hot and right is cold (as viewed from front). Threaded inlets are 1/2" NPT (iron pipe size). Use an approved thread sealant for threaded connections.

Remove bonnet (1) and test cap (2) before soldering. Leave screen (3) installed. WARNING: Avoid soldering

at high temperature. Exposure to high temperatures may damage screen.

4. Rotate the cartridge (1) so the words “hot side” (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).

For s howe r h ead installation connect plumbing from top outlet of transfer valve to shower head arm with proper ﬁ ttings. Do

NOT install the shower head onto arm at this time.

5. For cascade installation connect right outlet of transfer valve to cascade line. The left outlet is for body spray jets. Plug unused ports if other arrangements are used.

6. For back to back or reverse installations only (hot on right and cold on left), follow instructions below. If you are not making a reverse or back to back installation skip Steps 6 and 7 and continue with Step 8.

Make sure water supplies are OFF. Install mixing valve as directed in the previous steps.

7. For back to back or reverse installations only (hot on right and cold on left). Connect hot and cold supply lines to left and right inlets of mixer body. Right is hot and left is cold (as viewed from front).
