NOTICE: Do not apply excessive heat near the valve or apply flux or acids directly onto the valve. This
valve contains plastic and rubber components which will melt if heat is directly applied.
NOTICE: Do not use oil-based, non-setting compounds, such as plumbers putty, on the threaded
connections. Inlet and outlet threaded connections should be made using sealant tape or liquid sealant.
IMPORTANT! Verify the appropriate flow regulator is in place inside each outlet adapter prior to
assembling to the valve; note the flow regulator colors in the above illustration.
IMPORTANT! If installing a handshower to the system: Remove the adapter from outlet 1 and follow the
instructions below. Installations with handshower and bath spout will have 4 adapter assemblies; bath
spout only installations will have 3 adapter assemblies.
Solder one 1/2" NPT threaded adapter to each 1/2" union fitting. Allow to cool completely before
proceeding.
Apply thread sealant tape to the threads of the 1/2" NPT threaded adapters. Thread an adapter
assembly into each of the numbered flow regulators/adapter.
Verify that the O-rings are in place on the valve outlets.
Install the flow regulators/adapter to the corresponding valve outlet. Handshower assembly will
install to outlet 1.
Position the outlet clamps over the flow regulator/adapter assemblies and snap into place.
Secure the outlet clamps with the screws.
