Installation Guide

5. Install the Valve
NOTICE: Do not apply excessive heat near the valve or apply flux or acids directly onto the valve. This
valve contains plastic and rubber components that will melt if heat is directly applied.
IMPORTANT! If your water supply has high amounts of particulates, install wye strainers in the supply
lines.
Route 1/2 dedicated water supply lines. Use unions to install removable pipe segments to the
valve inlets to allow access for periodic cleaning of the inlet screens.
Install shut-off valves and water-hammer arrestors in the supply lines before the valve.
Hold the valve up to the installation location. Verify fit and mark the hole locations.
Predrill the holes.
Secure the valve with the washers and screws. Do not overtighten.
IMPORTANT! Make sure that the shower components are connected to the corresponding numbered
outlet(s) on the valve.
Route the piping from the valve outlets to the appropriate shower fitting.
Connect the hot and cold supply lines to the appropriate valve inlets. Hot is red and marked with
HOT, cold is blue and marked with COLD.
Secure all piping to the framing.
