INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Tempress Pressure Balancing Valve Valve Body No. 1-595 as used with Tub and Shower Fittings Note: This valve is designed to fit in a 2" X 4" stud wall (or thicker) installation. Use stem extension kit #1-249 (sold seperately) if valve installed is too far away from the finished wall. Description This valve is precision engineered to provide satisfactory performance provided it is installed and operated in accordance with our recommendations contained in these instructions.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN On tiled wall surfaces, grouting must be either flush or raised for proper sealing of the cover plate. IMPORTANT: It is not necessary to remove the cartridge from the valve during NORMAL soldering operations using propane-butane gas. DO NOT USE OXYGEN-ACETYLENE. When soldering connections, do not solder within 4” of valve port. Do not use excessive heat. Open the stop valves when soldering inlets.
Illustration 3 Illustration 4-7 Stop Open Stop Closed Setting the Temperature Limit Stop This valve has an upper temperature limit stop (Item 6), which can allow desired and safe hot water temperature (recommended maximum is 110°F). This stop may be adjusted once the valve is installed. Before making this adjustment, run the water with the valve turned to the hot setting.
* WARNING - Never try to stop dripping by applying extreme force or overtightening the handle. MALFUNCTION CAUSE REMEDY Opening immediately to hot water.
