Tools required for installation of this product
are: Phillips screw driver, tubing cutter,
teflon tape, soldering equipment, adjustable
wrench and channel-lock pliers.
1. Install piping and fittings with valve body
as shown in Figure 2 or 3. IMPORTANT:
Valve rough-in is 2-3/8” +/- 1/2”
from CENTERLINE OF SUPPLIES TO
FACE OF FINISH WALL. Install so that

Tub/Shower System (Figure 2)
Model A
Pipe shower head from outlet marked
“S” and to tub spout from outlet marked

OTHER OUTLET ACCESSORIES FOR
THE TUB SPOUT (SUCH AS HOSE
AND SPRAY, SHOWER HEAD, BODY
SPRAY, LEDGE SPOUTS, ETC.) OR
ANY PIPE ADAPTER OR ADDITIONAL
FITTINGS (SUCH AS PEX, ETC.)
THAT CAN CAUSE BACK PRESSURE
THROUGH THE VALVE. Install HOT on
left and COLD on right according to valve
markings.

2. When finishing tile wall PULL OFF
ENTIRE PROTECTIVE PLASTER SHIELD
(T-176). If finish wall obstructs removal
of plaster shield, break off outer edge
along perforations (if necessary, carefully
use sharp blade to facilitate removal).
After plaster shield is removed FILL AREA
AROUND VALVE BODY WITH GROUT OR
PLASTER.
3. TURN ON HOT AND COLD SUPPLIES,
valve will not operate unless both hot
and cold water are turned on.
4. Unscrew dome cover (T-19/20) and
tighten packing nut (T-17) for positive
frictional resistance to handle turn
throughout adjustment cycle and at shut-
off position. Check valve cap, packing
nut, diverter spindle o-ring and all valve,
pipe and fitting connections for leaks.
