IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Risk of scalding or other severe injury.
• Before completing installation, the installer must set the
maximum water temperature setting of this valve to minimize the
risks associated with scalding hazards according to ASTM F 444.
• Do not install a shut-off device on either outlet of this valve. The
installation of any such device may create a cross-flow condition
at the valve and affect the water temperature.
• Factors that change the temperature of the water supplied to the
valve, such as seasonal water temperature changes, and water
heater replacement or servicing, will change the maximum water
temperature supplied by the valve and may create a scalding
hazard. The pressure-balanced valve will not compensate for
changes in the water supply temperature; adjust the maximum
water temperature setting of this pressure-balanced valve when
such changes occur.
• Pressure-balanced valves may not provide protection against
scalding if there is a failure of other temperature-limiting devices
elsewhere in the plumbing system.
WARNING: Risk of product damage. Only silicone based
lubricants should be used with these valves. Use of petroleum
based lubricants on the valve is harmful to the O-rings, seals,
and plastic components. Use of petroleum based lubricants will
void the warranty.
The installer is responsible for installing the valve and adjusting the
maximum water temperature of this pressure-balanced valve
according to instructions.
This valve meets or exceeds ANSI A112.18.1 and ASSE 1016.
