SAFETY TIPS
Cover your drain to prevent loss of parts. Be sure to
always wear proper eye protection.
SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
1) Shut off the hot & cold water supplies to the valve.
Remove the handle screw & handle. Remove trim plate
screw & trim plate.
2) With the valve in the OFF position, remove the (4)
valve bonnet screws. Carefully remove the bonnet.
3) If necessary, remove the balancing/regulating
cartridge from the valve body by pulling on the valve
spindle or the blue cap of the cartridge. Make sure the
lower rubber quad rings (2) are installed in the bottom
of the cartridge and not in the valve body.
4) Replace the necessary parts with new parts. When
replacing the balancing/regulating cartridge, make
sure that the rubber quad-rings (2) are properly
installed in the recesses on the bottom of the cartridge.
These quad-rings seal over the hot & cold inlet holes
inside the body. When replacing the cartridge, make
sure the “H” on the cartridge cover is on the hot
supply side and the “C” on the cartridge cover is on
the cold supply side.
5) Make sure the large bonnet O-ring seal is installed
and seated properly in the valve body. Reassemble the
valve bonnet, making sure the “UP” on the bonnet is in
the up position. Tighten the (4) bonnet screws. Turn
ON the hot & cold water supplies. Check valve for
leaks.
6) To limit the maximum hot water temperature the
valve delivers, adjust the valve’s temperature limit stop
(TLS) plate. Slip the retaining O-ring and the TLS plate
towards the end of the spindle. Rotate the valve handle
clockwise to the maximum desired hot water
temperature. Position the TLS plate so it contacts the
lug on the valve bonnet and therefore restricts the
clockwise rotation of the handle. Slip the retaining
O-ring back into the groove of the spindle. Turn off the
valve and remove the handle.
7) Reassemble the trim parts, reversing the above
procedure.
Freeze damage to the shower unit will void
the warranty. It is important to winterize the
complete shower unit. The unit must be
drained of all water in freezing conditions.
This includes removing the valve cartridge
and the showerhead from the unit. Store the
valve cartridge and showerhead indoors.
Caution- When outdoor temperature rise
above 90 degrees, use caution to prevent
scalding from water stored within the unit. It is
recommended to flush the unit by turning it on
for 30 seconds before entering the shower
water. This will avoid accidental scalding by
the user and ensure safe use of the shower
unit.
