Reference gure 3

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.

Note:
devices on control valve outlet or devices that
do not allow the valve to ow at least 1.5 gpm.

Do not install positive shut-o

result in serious scalding.
