WARNING: Risk of scalding. High water temperature can
cause severe burns. Set the water temperature at or below
120°F (49°C) following the adjustment procedure in the valve
Installation and Care Guide.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Long screws, for installing
trim, can damage the K-2971-KS valve. When using this valve and
trim in a fiberglass or acrylic installation, use the 88526 Thin Wall
Installation Kit.
Observe all local plumbing and building codes.
The finished wall or bath/shower unit must be installed prior to
installing this trim.
Before installing the trim, determine if the maximum water
temperature is acceptable to the user. If temperature adjustment is
needed, refer to the "Optional Temperature Limiting Adjustment"
section of this guide.
The valve shuts off by water pressure. Do not force the handle in
any direction. To turn the valve off, gently turn it to the "OFF"
position.
