TUB & SHOWER VALVE
Measurements
These are shown on the drawings. The
depth measurment is critical. The center
line of the supply and discharge piping
should be a maximum of 3-1/16” (78mm)
and a minimum of 2” (51mm) behind the
finished wall surface, including tile. This is
1-1/16” (27mm) of adjustment.

CAUTION:
Before turning water on during either rough-in or trim-out, make sure that cartridge retainer nuts are in place. The cartridges and
retainer nuts were probably installed and tested before leaving the factory. Although it is unlikely, it is nevertheless possible that
through the handling of the valve by any number of persons the retainer nuts may not be properly installed. This should be carefully checked at time of rough-in and trim-out. If the retainer nuts are not properly installed, water pressure could force the
cartridges out of the casting. Personal injury or water damage to the premises could result.
Always turn water off before disassembling the valve. Open both valve handles to
relieve water pressure and to insure that COMPLETE water shut-off has been accomplished.

Installation
This valve is designed for either CC or IPS connections, depending on the discretion of the installer. If
using the IPS connections, thread sealing tape should be used liberally on all threads.
Connect the valve to the supply lines by either means desired. The hot supply should be on the left, the
cold supply on the right.
Connect the shower riser pipe to the top outlet and the tub drop pipe to the bottom outlet. Make all
connections firm and tight. Block and secure all pipes to the inside wall.
Flow Director
For water supply lines plummed ceiling to floor, please follow these instructions:
Hold the valve with the valve connections in the down position as illustrated below. Use a large flat blade screwdriver and
remove the flow director, located in the center port, as illustrated. After removing the flow director, turn the valve over so
that the valve connections are in the up position, and reinstall the flow director.
Now the casting can be turned over, with the valve connections facing the ceiling, to accept ceiling-to-valve water supplies.
