Tub/Shower
Position the valve body 32 inches from the floor of the
tub basin. The shower arm should be placed 78 inches
above the floor of the tub basin (recommended installa-
tion of the shower arm is with a flanged elbow fitting –
not included – and attached to a wood brace). The tub
spout is to be no less than 6 inches and no greater than
11 inches below the valve. If installing a threaded tub
spout, connect to the valve with 1/2 inch pipe or 1/2 inch
copper tubing with a threaded adapter. If installing a slip-
fit tub spout, connect to the valve with only copper tub-
ing – no threaded adapter is needed.
See step 4.3 for tub spout tube length.

Thick Wall Installation
For Walls Thicker Than
1
/4 inch
3.4 The “Thick Wall” installation method is used
when the tub/shower wall is greater than 1/4
inches thick. “Thick Walls” are usually built up with
materials such as cement board, drywall, tile, etc. The
valve is secured by straps (not included) holding
the water inlet lines to the framing members (2X4’s)
as shown in steps 2.1 and 2.2. The valve also features
mounting holes to screw the valve to a cross mem-
ber attached behind the valve if desired.
Attach the plaster ground (E) to the valve body using
the 2-3/16 inches escutcheon screws (G). Keep the
plaster ground (E) attached to the valve until the
valve has been positioned and secured. The plaster
ground (E) is positioned so that it is flush with the fin-
ished wall. This ensures that the valve will be at the
correct position to accept the trim.
The hole in the wall should be the same size (4-1/2
inches) as the plaster ground (E). This hole will allow
access for future servicing if necessary.

/4 inch
3.1 The “Thin Wall” method is used when the
tub/shower wall is less than 1/4 inches
thick (such as fiberglass tub surround)
and will be the main source of support for
the valve. The plaster ground (E) remains
attached to the valve. A 2-1/4 inches to 3-
1/2 inches diameter hole is cut thru the wall
for this method.
3.2 Break away the black plastic protective cover
using pliers and rotating clockwise.
3.3 Remove the escutcheon screws (G), place product
identification label (Z) on back of escutcheon
,
make sure wall is clean, place the escutcheon (F)
over the stop tube (B), then reinstall the screws (G).
A gasket on the back of the escutcheon provides a
seal against the finished wall.
