Powers 410 User Manual

INSTALLATION

Installation should be in accordance with accepted plumb­ing practices. Flush all piping thoroughly before installation.

1. Position mixer 2

1

⁄2″ (64mm) from inlet center to finished

wall surface. Facing front of mixer, connect hot water to
left side (labeled “HOT”) and connect cold water to right
side (labeled “COLD”).

2. When copper tubing is used, flare fittings are recom­mended. If flared fitting cannot be used, then the bal­ancing chamber cartridge must be removed before
soldering near the Hydroguard body. Inlet checkstops
with direct sweat straight or 90° angle or straight with

1

⁄2″ NPT connections are available. To remove the bal-

ancing chamber cartridge, remove the four bonnet
screws and lift off the bonnet. Pull cartridge out with
either pliers or cartridge puller #401-202. Before replac­ing the cartridge, lubricate the side O-rings with a small
amount of grease or soap.

3. Three port bodies can be

top or bottom outlet. Unit is fac-

tory-assembled for top outlet installation. See Figure 1.
For shower unit, pipe top outlet directly to showerhead.

If bottom outlet (or reversed outlets) is required, place
mixer stem in closed position (full clockwise) and
remove O-ring and Stop C (Figure 5). Rotate stem 180°
and replace stop in its initial position.

With mixer in closed position, the notch in

top spline on

the stem (Figure 3) must face the outlet for

standard

inlets (cold water to cold port). For reversed inlets (cold
water to hot port), the notch must face way from the
outlet port.

Hot and cold inlets should also be identified to avoid
confusion during fixture maintenance.

4. A 4-port valve has a double outlet body. See Figure 2.
The top outlet “S” is piped to the showerhead. The bot­tom outlet “Tub” is piped directly to a diverter type spout.
There is a built-in diverter fitting in the Hydroguard so it is
not necessary to use a twin ell. Be sure that “Tub” is
piped to the tub. If the outlet connections are crossed,
the Hydroguard will not function properly.

5. Slide roughing-in guide onto mixer stem until it contacts
temperature stop on stem. Facing front of mixer, the
words, “Front Finished Wall Guide” can be read. Position
mixer so finished wall surface will be within

3

⁄4″ (19mm)

rim on the guide. This ensures the center line of the
mixer connections will be 2

1

⁄2″ (64mm) from the finished

wall surface. After wall is finished, remove rough-in
guide. Before assembling dial to mixer body, attach gas­ket to inside dial and sides. Allow approximately

1

⁄8″

(3.2mm) of gasket to protrude past dial edge. Attach dial
to mixer body with two screws furnished. Place dial
insert inside dial. Secure with retainer (rubber). Cover
stem with sleeve, fasten lever handle to stem with screw
provided. For lucite handle, use plug button provided.

MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE SETTING

6. (Refer to Figure 5.) This must be set on the job. Mixer
will pass full HOT water. Loosen screw B (do not
remove). Rotate stem to get desired maximum temper­ature. Move stop A until it touches stop C. Tighten
screw B.

Note: With high (over 140°F [60°C]) hot water, remove
screw B, turn stop A over as shown by dashed lines
(the word “HOT” will face in), replace screw B. Reset
stop A per above.

CAUTION. Adjustable stop A must be present for prop­er installation.

For further information on repair and

maintenance, see Technical Instruction.
