secured with attached piping.
2) Install piping and fittings
Shower head (T on diverter)
Pipe from primary outlet port
on diverter marked T to shower
head mounting arm location.
Hand shower connection
elbow
Pipe from secondary outlet port on
diverter marked S to hand shower
connection elbow location.
Hot & Cold Supply (H & C)
Pipe hot water supply to valve
input marked H and cold water
supply to valve input marked C.
3) Remove protective shields.
Diverter Remove tube seated
over end of diverter spindle.
Valve Remove shield snap tted
over the end of valve spindle.
Service stops Remove two red
end-caps covering service stops.
4) Adjust valve spindle cap nut
■ Turn hot & cold supplies on.
Valve will not operate unless
both hot and cold water supply
pressure are turned on.
■ Tighten packing nut for positive
frictional resistance as handle
is rotated from shuto position
across adjustment range.
Reference gure 3 below.
5) Flush system, check for
leaks
■ Turn valve to the warm position
and run for a few minutes.
■ If system is dirty, remove valve
spindle in valve to ensure
proper ushing. See service
instructions.
Note: Do not install positive
shut-o devices on valve outlet
or devices that do not allow the
valve to ow at least 1 GPM at
50 psi inlet pressure.
■ Check for leaks around valve
assembly and all pipe ttings.
6) Set limit stop screw
e limit stop screw limits valve
handle from being turned to
maximum position resulting in
excessive hot water discharge
temperatures.
■ Place handle on control spindle
and open valve to maximum
desired temperature.
■ Turn limit stop screw clockwise
until it seats. Reference gure 3.
Warning: Failure to
adjust the limit stop
screw properly may
result in serious
scalding.

Trouble Shooting Chart
ProblemCauseSolution
Valve will not pass water
Valve leaks when shut o.
Temperature control handle is
turned from cold to hot (or hot
back to cold) and volume from
spout or head is not constant.
Valve delivers sucient quantity of cold, but little hot, or
the reverse.
Temperature varies without
moving handle.
Valve delivery temperature
reduces gradually during use;
handle must be turned to hotter
positions to maintain constant
temperature.
Valve delivers hot water when
initially opened. Water turns
colder as handle is rotated in
a counter-clockwise direction
toward the hot position.
Both hot and cold water
supply are not turned on.
Hot and cold washers are
worn or foreign matter (dirt,
chips) is lodged between
washers and seat surfaces.
Pressure balancing piston
housed in spindle assembly
is restricted from free
movement by foreign
matter.
Turn on both supplies. Valve will not operate
unless both hot and cold water pressure is on.
1) Replace washers using control spindle washer repair kit, p/n TA-9.
2) Replace hot & cold seats using hot/cold seat repair kit, p/n TA-4.
1) Open valve half way, remove handle and tap
spindle with plastic hammer.
2) Check water pressure balancing piston in control spindle assembly. See service instructions.
3) Replace control spindle, p/n TA-10
Same as aboveSame as above
Same as aboveSame as above
Overdraw on hot water supply (i.e. running out of hot
water)
Reduce maximum ow by using volume control
adjustment on valve or shower head. is will
allow longer period of use before overdrawing
hot water supply.
Valve is piped incorrectly
(i.e. the hot supply s piped
to the valve’s cold inlet and
the cold supply is piped to
the hot inlet.)
If piping is accessible, correct connections to
the valve. If piping is not accessible, order
a reverse seat and tool kit, p/n T-108. Older
installations may also require replacing the hot
seat, hot/cold seat repair kit, p/n TA-4
Service Instructions
Removing control spindle assembly
(Ref. Parts Assembly figure)
■ Shut o water supply to valve
and remove control valve handle
and dome cover.
■ Remove escutcheon plate by rst
removing escutcheon screws.
■ Turn valve’s control spindle to half
way position between minimum
and maximum rotation.
Important:Failure to
do this can damage
control spindle assembly.
■ Unscrew both spindle cap and
control spindle assembly.
Hot/Cold Seat Repair Kit
Order p/n TA-4, T-35A and T-35B.
Installation requires both hot & cold
removal tools, p/n T-35A & T-35B.
■ Remove control spindle assembly.
■ Remove both seats with removal
tools.
■ Replace both seats even if only
one appears worn.
■ Install and tighten both seats to
15 foot pounds of torque.
Control Spindle Washer Repair Kit
Order p/n TA-9.
■ Remove control spindle assembly.
■ Remove cold washer by holding
spindle using valve handle and
unscrew cold washer retainer
using channel lock pliers.
■ Remove hot washer by removing hot washer screw.
Checking Water Pressure
Balancing Piston
e perforated end of the control
spindle assembly houses the water
pressure balancing piston which is
the heart of the valve.
■ Remove control spindle assembly.
■ Shake spindle assembly and listen
for clicking noise. Piston should
be free to slide back and forth the
full length of its travel.
■ If piston appears restricted then
do the following:
(1) Tap the handle or stem end of
the spindle against a solid object
to free the piston.
(2) Try soaking in household
vinegar and repeat step (1).
■ If unable to free piston, replace
control spindle assembly, p/n TA-10.
Important:
Do not
attempt removal of
the piston.
Valve re-assembly
Reassemble by reversing above
procedures.
Aer the control spindle assembly
(TA-10) is threaded back into the
spindle cap assembly (TA-12A)
ensure control spindle is rotated
1/2 half turn clockwise from its
maximum counter clockwise
rotational position. Failure to do
this will damage assembly.
