holes in the wall are correct:
□
The shower and tub spout outlet holes
should be 1-1/4 in. diameter.
□
The valve access hole should refer to the
step 2.
□
The recommended valve depth to the
nished wall is 2 in. min. to 2-1/2 in. max.

Installing the valve body and
removing the plaster guard
□
a Thin Wall Installation
"Thin Wall" are usually built up with materials
such as berglass tub surround and will be the
main source of support for the valve. The plaster
guard (L) remains attached to the valve.
□
b Thick Wall Installation
"Thick Walls" are usually built up with materials such
as cement board, drywall, tile, etc. The plaster guard
(L) is positioned so that it is ush with the nished
wall. This ensures that the valve will be at the correct
position to accept the trim. The depth for valve body
(D) in wall is measured from center of shower outlet
to nished wall surface. The accepted depth distance
is 1-1/2 in. to 2-1/2 in.. When the depth distance is
1-1/2 in. to 2 in., there will be interference between
the plaster guard and escutcheon, suggest removing
the plaster guard after the wall installation.
□
Unscrew the screws (K), and remove the plaster
guard (L).
NOTE: Be sure to position the body (D) correctly in the
wall, with the markings "UP" facing upward.
