IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE FOR THE
CONSUMER
WARNING: Risk of scalding or other severe injury.
•Before completing installation, the installer must set the maximum water temperature setting of this valve to minimize the risks associated with scalding hazards according to ASTM F 444.
•Do not install a shut-off device on either outlet of this valve. The installation of any such device may create a cross-flow condition at the valve and affect the water temperature.
•Factors that change the temperature of the water supplied to the valve, such as seasonal water temperature changes, and water heater replacement or servicing, will change the maximum water temperature supplied by the valve and may create a scalding hazard. The pressure-balanced valve will not compensate for changes in the water supply temperature; adjust the maximum water temperature setting of this pressure-balanced valve when such changes occur.
•Pressure-balanced valves may not provide protection against scalding if there is a failure of other temperature-limiting devices elsewhere in the plumbing system.
NOTICE: Only apply silicone based lubricants to these valves. Do not use petroleum based lubricants. Petroleum based lubricants will harm the O-rings, seals, and plastic components.
The installer is responsible for installing the valve and adjusting the maximum water temperature of this pressure-balanced valve according to instructions.
This valve meets or exceeds ANSI A112.18.1 and ASSE 1016.
If you do not understand any of the installation or temperature adjustment instructions in this document, in the United States please contact our Customer Care Center at 1-800-4KOHLER. Outside the U.S., please contact your distributor.

Water Temperature Adjustment
Turn the valve clockwise to the full open position and let the hot water run for several minutes. Position a thermometer in the water stream and check the temperature.
For minor water temperature changes, adjust the setscrew, and recheck the water temperature.
For major water temperature changes, remove the O-ring and collar from the valve stem. Slowly rotate the valve stem until the desired water temperature is reached.
Reinstall the collar on the valve stem with the setscrew against the side of the tab.
Reinstall the O-ring, rotate the valve stem counterclockwise to shut the water off, and recheck the water temperature.
NOTE: After adjustment, complete the required information on the valve label.
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury. To eliminate the risk of scalding, the water temperature should never be set above 120°F (49°C).
