IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS TO THE INSTALLER:

PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS, FILL IN THE BLANKS BELOW,

THEN PROVIDE THE INSTRUCTIONS TO THE USER BY SECURELY

TAPING THEM TO THE FLOW HANDLE OR THE ESCUTCHEON.

WARNING: Risk of scalding

Varying the calibration of this thermostatic valve to increase water temperature increases the risk of injury from scalding. The installer is responsible for installing the valve and any recalibration of the water temperature in accordance with the instructions.

CAUTION: Danger of scald injury. Valve can be recalibrated to

provide higher temperature water.

This valve has been preset at the factory to provide a range of water temperatures. Any change in settings or water inlet conditions from those used during calibration at the factory may raise the outlet temperature and may cause scalding. The responsibility for the proper installation and any recalibration of this valve lies with the installer.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

/4 - 3 3/4"

Lookout Pipe

Finished Wall

TUB SPOUT INSTALLATION

1/2” copper lookout (pipe protruding from wall) must be 2 3/4" (70mm) min. to 3 3/4" (95mm) max. in length and be free of deep scratches, dents, kinks or bends. The cutoff end must be free of burrs inside and out. Use of a tubing cutter is recommended.

IF USING ADAPTER TO INSTALL SPOUT WITH IPS CONNECTION:

Apply Teflon tape to thread and install into IPS connection. Tighten with 9/16” socket wrench.

DO NOT use an open end wrench. Cut off 2 3/43 3/4” from finished wall surface. Use of a tubing cutter is recommended.

TO INSTALL SLIP FIT SPOUT:

Press and twist tub spout (8) onto the lookout upside down and tightly up against the wall. Tighten set screw with a 3/32" hex wrench until it just starts to bind. Turn spout upright into position against the wall and finish tightening the set screw. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

INSTALL SHOWER ARM

1/2” copper lookout (pipe protruding from wall) must be 2” (50mm) min. to 3” (76mm) max. in length and be free of deep scratches, dents, kinks or bends. The cutoff end must be free of burrs inside and out. Use of a tubing cutter is recommended.

IF USING SHOWER ARM ADAPTER (3) - IPS to CC: Apply Teflon tape to thread and install

into IPS connection. Tighten with 9/16” socket wrench; DO NOT use an open end wrench. Cut off 2-3” from finished wall surface. Use of a tubing cutter is recommended.

TO INSTALL SLIP FIT SHOWER ARM: Press and twist shower arm (2) onto the lookout upside down and tightly up against the wall. Tighten set screw with a 3/32” hex wrench until it just starts to bind. Turn shower arm upright into position against the wall and finish tightening the setscrew. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

TO INSTALL SHOWERHEAD

Wrap shower arm thread with teflon tape. Thread shower head onto shower arm. Tighten shower head using a wrench on the flats located on the shower ball. Hold shower arm with one hand while tightening.

ATTACH BASE ESCUTCHEON:

1. Turn off main hot and cold water supply to

valve.

2. Turn temperature extension near top of valve body counter-clockwise until it stops (it may already be in the full counter-clockwise position).

3. Turn white flow extension near bottom of valve body clockwise until it stops (it may already be in the full clockwise position).

4. Place the base escutcheon (4) over the hole in shower wall with larger hole in

the base escutcheon surrounding the top threaded extension from the valve. The base escutcheon will be correctly oriented when the word “MOEN” is right side up.

5. Place the flat side of the two ring escutcheons (5) against the base escutcheon (4): one ring escutcheon over the temperature extension and one ring escutcheon over the white flow extension. At this point, the ring escutcheons and base escutcheon will be hanging from the threaded extensions on the valve body.

ATTACH TEMPERATURE KNOB:

1. Confirm that the temperature extension near

top of valve body is rotated fully counterclockwise.

2. Align the temperature knob to the

temperature extension with the number “9” on the grip ring turned upward to the 12 o’clock position.

3. Move the temperature knob (6) towards the

temperature extension until the internal splines (projections on the inner diameter) in the temperature knob start to engage the external splines on the temperature extension.

4. After splines start to

engage, turn the lower shell of the temperature knob clockwise several turns while holding the rubber grip to prevent it from turning. This turning will thread the internal threads in the temperature knob onto the threads on the valve body. Continue turning the lower shell (you may release the rubber grip) until the lower shell compresses

the ring escutcheon (5)

against the base escutcheon (4). It is helpful to pull the lower shell towards you away from the shower wall as you turn it to keep the knob from disassembling. Note that as the temperature knob nears the base escutcheon, the base escutcheon and ring escutcheon will have to be shifted upwards so that the ring escutcheon is centered on the lower shell and the black plastic part extending from the bottom of the temperature knob fits within the hole in the base escutcheon. Tighten the lower shell hand-tight only. Verify that the “9” is still at the 12 o’clock position. This completes the attachment of the temperature knob.

Turn until "9" is at 12 o'clock position

Temperature extension turned fully counter-clockwise

Lower shell

Use your hand to center the ring escutcheon as the temperature knob is threaded onto valve stem.

ATTACH FLOW HANDLE:

1. Confirm that the white flow extension is turned fully clockwise. Align the flow handle (7) to the

flow extension with the handle pointing downwards (6 o’clock position).

2. Move the flow handle towards the flow extension until the internal splines in the flow handle start

to engage the external splines on the flow extension.

3. After the splines start to engage, turn the shell of the flow handle (7) clockwise several turns

while holding the handle to prevent it from rotating. This turning will thread the internal threads in the flow handle onto the threads on the valve body. Continue turning the shell (you may release the handle) until it compresses the ring escutcheon (5) against the base escutcheon (4). It is helpful to pull the shell towards you (away from the shower wall) as you turn it to keep the knob from disassembling. Again, as the flow handle nears the base escutcheon, the ring escutcheon will have to be shifted upwards so that the ring escutcheon is centered on the lower shell. Tighten the shell hand-tight only. This completes the attachment of the flow handle. The valve trim is now completely assembled and is ready for operation.

Flow extension turned fully clockwise

Use your hand to center the ring escutcheon as the handle is threaded onto valve stem.

TESTING FOR PROPER OPERATION:

1. Make sure the flow handle (7) is still in the full down 6 o’clock position.

2. Turn on the hot and cold water supplies.

3. Turn the temperature knob fully counterclockwise so the number “9” is in the vertical 12 o’clock

position. The numbers represent increasing temperature. “9” is the hottest and “1” is the coldest.

4. Turn the flow handle counter-clockwise to start flow from the shower head or tub spout.

5. The thermostatic valve has a temperature range from 85°F (29°C) corresponding to the number

“1” on the temperature knob to 115°F (46°C) corresponding to the number “9” on the temperature knob. If the temperature when the knob is set at “9” is not approximately 115°F (46°C), or if a hotter maximum temperature is desired, the temperature range can be recalibrated by following the instructions in the section “Recalibration Procedure.”

NOTE: Recalibration to a higher maximum temperature will increase the temperature across the entire range.

CAUTION: RISK OF SCALDING HAZARD The valve has been calibrated at the factory to provide a maximum water temperature of 115°F (46°C). Any significant variation in the calibration or any variation in the water supply temperatures (greater than 5°F or 3°C) from those used at the factory during the calibration procedure can result in water temperatures that present scalding dangers. Therefore, it is important to check the water temperature with the temperature knob set at “9” to determine the maximum temperature of the water. The responsibility for the proper installation and any recalibration of this valve lies with the installer.

6. Turn the water off by turning the flow handle fully clockwise.
