Tools required
Phillips screw driver, tubing cutter, teflon
tape, soldering equipment, adjustable wrench,
adjustable pliers and 1/8” hex key.
Caution Please review the following water
and drain system requirements prior to
installation of any High-Flo valve or Water
Dance Custom Showering System. This
information serves as a general guide only,
as every installation contains its own unique
conditions and should not replace sound,
professional plumbing judgment.
Water Heater
Determine that you have a sufficient supply
of hot water for the Water Dance system
selected and for the intended user’s personal
preference. With four flow-restricted outlets
flowing simultaneously and continuously, a
Water Dance system can deplete a standard 40
gallon hot water heater in less than 8 minutes.

Pressure Required
Verify that you have adequate flowing (not
static) water pressure before installing a
Water Dance system or High-Flo valve.
For optimum performance we recommend
a minimum of 60 psi flowing pressure to
the High-Flo pressure balancing valve. Also
reducing or eliminating long piping runs and
sharp turns will result in a more satisfactory
performance from the system.
Drain Size
Determine that there is adequate drain size
and capacity to handle the selected Water
Dance system water volume.
The High-Flo valve is capable of delivering
12 gpm at 45 psi. If two valves are to be used
water volumes of up to 24 gpm are possible
depending on available water pressure.
Confirm that the shower drainage system can
handle the anticipated water volume.

Note: Dimensions subject to
change without notice.
All floor to center dimensions optional. Concealed piping and fittings not furnished by manufacturer.
Install HOT on left and COLD on right
according to valve markings.
FIGURE 1
1) Install piping and fittings with valve body
as shown in Figure 2.
IMPORTANT: Valve rough-in is 2 3/8”
(60mm) min. — 2 7/8” (73mm) max.
from centerline of supplies to face of finish
wall. Install so that surface indicated on
plaster shield on valve is flush with finish
wall as shown in Figure 1.
2) IMPORTANT: Install plug (TTC-295) in
either tub port for shower application or
shower port for tub application.
NOTE: Valve will not work properly with
both ports unplugged.
3) When finishing tile wall remove (pull off;
don’t turn) protective plastic shield and
fill area around valve body with grout or
plaster. Do not plaster over SC-2 cap or
service stops.
4) For installation of diverter see installation
instructions included with diverter.
5) Install body spray to the water supply
pipe fitting in the wall; use plumber tape
to seal the connection. Push flange until
flush against finished wall.
NOTE: Any configuration with two or
more body sprays requires that they be
plumbed with a balancing loop as shown
in Figures 2 and 3. This technique insures
that each body spray delivers the same
volume.
6) Turn on hot and cold supplies. Valve will
not operate unless both hot and cold
water are turned on.
7) Adusting Stops - Valve is equipped with a
limit stop screw to be used to limit valve
handle from being turned to excessively
hot water discharge temperatures.
Adjust by removing dome cover, place
handle on stem, open valve to maximum
desired temperature and turn in limit stop
screw until it seats.
WARNING: Failure to adjust the limit
stop screw properly may result in serious
scalding. Shower system may not protect
the user from scalding when there is a
failure of other temperature controlling
devices elsewhere in the plumbing system.
8) Check packing nut (SC-7) for positive
frictional resistance to handle turn
throughout adjustment cycle and at shutoff position, tighten if necessary.
Check valve cap, packing nut and all
valve, pipe and fitting connections for
leaks. Reattach dome cover back onto
packing nut.
9) Push escutcheon (HF-120 or HF-112),
with slot facing downward, and gasket
(HF-129 or HF-130) against wall and
secure to valve with escutcheon screws
(T3-28 or DF-9).
Secure dial (HF-119) to escutcheon (HF-
120).
Mount temperature control handle (T331L or HF-28-LAM) on valve spindle
spline, secure with screw and button.
Install shower arm, flange and shower
head. See Figures 2 and 3.
Install tub spout on stub. Use putty or
sealant on back edge of spout to make
proper seal with finished wall.
10) Allow valve to run in warm position for a
few minutes to flush system. If system is
quite dirty, remove valve spindle or stop
spindles to ensure proper flushing. See
service instructions.
11) Do not install positive shut-off devices
on the outlet of this valve or devices that

do not allow the valve to flow at least 1
GPM at 50 psi inlet pressure unless the
inlet supplies of the valve are equipped
with check stops (Suffix: X-CHKS) to
eliminate hot to cold by-pass in the event
the valve’s handle is not turned to off after
use.
Contact your factory representative or
Symmons directly for information on
available checks.
Fiberglass wall installation
When installing the High Flo valve in
fiberglass or panel walls and it is desired
to sandwich wall between valve body and
escutcheon, cut hole in wall as shown in
Figure 4 and mount valve from rear.
Note: It is always recommended to secure
valve piping to rough construction and not
depend on fiberglass wall for valve mounting
security. On panel walls over 1” thick, install
in conventional manner. (See figure 1).
Valve Operation
The main handle of the valve is for control of
temperature only. From the OFF position, the
handle is turned counter-clockwise through
a minimum cold position, through a warm
and hot position for a maximum turn of
approximately one revolution. This allows for
infinite temperature adjustments to suit the
requirements of any user.

Care and Cleaning
The lustrous finish on your High-Flo valve or
Water Dance system should be treated with
care. It can be readily damaged by improper
handling or abusive treatment.
To clean the finish wipe gently with a soft
damp cloth and lot dry with a soft towel. Use
only a mild soap solution if required.
Do not use abrasive cleaners. Use of polish
abrasive cleaners, solvents or acid cleaners can
damage finish and void Symmons warranty
