Installing the valve body and
removing the plaster guard
Shut off the water supply to the tub and
shower.
Verify that the hole sizes and positions of the
holes in the wall are correct
The shower and tub spout outlet holes
should be 1-1/4 in. diameter.
Refer to Step 2 for valve access hole
dimensions.
The recommended valve depth to the
nished wall is 1-1/2 in. min. to 3 in. max.
Ensure that the valve body (D) cover is ush
with the nished exterior surface of the wall.
Position the valve body (D) correctly in the
wall with the side marked "UP" pointing up. The
8 in. minimum from the valve body (D) to the tub
spout (J) is required for proper operation.
A. Thin Wall Installation
“Thin Walls” are usually built up with materials
such as berglass tub surrounding them and will
be the main source of support for the valve. The
plaster guard (L) remains attached to the valve.
B. Thick Wall Installation
“Thick Walls” are usually built up with materials such
as cement board, drywall, tile, etc. The plaster guard
(L) is positioned so that it is ush with the nished
wall. This ensures that the valve will be at the correct
position to accept the trim. The depth for the valve
body (D) in wall is measured from the center of the
shower outlet to the nished wall surface. The
accepted depth distance is 2 in. to 3 in..
Unscrew the screws (K), and remove the plaster
guard (L).
NOTE: Be sure to position the valve body (D) correctly in
the wall, with the side marked "UP" facing upward.
