Installation Notes
Install this product according to the installation guide.
The K-2972-KS thermostatic mixer valve requires a separate
volume control valve, K-2974-K, for each bath and/or shower
outlet.
For bath-only installations, valve may be installed upside
down.
For installations with a diverter spout, a twin ell, K-9663, is
required between the valve and the spout. It is acceptable for
the supply to the K-9663 twin ell to run from the top port
through the volume control valve.
