Installation Sheet

WARNING: This shower system
may not protect the user from
scalding when there is a failure
of other temperature controlling
devices elsewhere in the plumbing
system.
5. Check packing nut (SC-7) for posi-
tive frictional resistance to handle
turn throughout adjustment cycle
and at shut-off position, tighten if
neccessary. Check valve cap, pack-
ing nut and all valve, pipe and tting
connections for leaks. Reattach
dome cover back onto packing nut.
6. After nish wall is completed,
remove protective backing from
escutcheon gasket (T-149) exposing
adhesive and adhere to inside top
diameter of escutcheon (SC-144).
This step should not preclude seal-
ing valve body in wall as directed in
installation instruction step #2.
7. Push escutcheon and gasket
against wall and secure to valve
with escutcheon screws (WO-20A).
Mount temperature control handle
(VT-112) on valve spindle spline,
secure with screw (SC-15A). Install
shower arm, ange and shower
head. See Figures 2 and 3. Install
tub spout on diverter twin-ell
(1-215-X only) using the provided
3/4" male NPT x 1/2" female NPT
bushing adapter. Use putty or seal-
ant on back edge of spout to make
proper seal with nished wall.
8. ALLOW VALVE TO RUN IN WARM
POSITION FOR A FEW MINUTES
TO TOTALLY FLUSH SYSTEM.
IF SYSTEM IS QUITE DIRTY,
REMOVE VALVE SPINDLE OR STOP
SPINDLES (IF SO EQUIPPED) TO
INSURE PROPER FLUSHING. See
service instructions.
9. Do not install positive shut-off
devices on the outlet of this valve or
devices that do not allow the valve
to ow at least 1 GPM at 50 psi inlet
pressure. EXCEPTION: If a self-clos-
ing or slow-closing valve is installed
on the outlet, the supplies of the
valve must be equipped with checks
to eliminate hot to cold by-pass in
the event the valve’s handle is not
turned to off after use. Contact your
factory representative or Symmons
directly for information on available
checks.
