INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The plaster ground face indicates the
correct orientation for the valve
assembly, as shown (arrows pointing
upward).
CAUTION: For CC (copper to copper)
installations, the cartridge must be
removed from the valve body before
heating the valve. Failure to do so will
result in cartridge damage. Please
refer to the instructions 'Cartridge
Removal.'
Thick Wall Installation
Valve Positioning
For THICK Wall Installation (greater than 3/16"
thickness)
For THICK wall installation, position the valve so
that the front face of the plaster ground is flush
with the finished wall. Remove the plaster ground
once the valve is installed and the piping connec-
tions have been made. Do not install the plaster
ground until the trim is to be installed.
Cutting The Hole
For THICK Wall Installation (greater than 3/16" thickness)
1. Remove the plaster ground from the valve. Trace the shape of the plaster ground on the wall (use a pencil, or some-
thing that can be washed off ). It will be necessary to extrapolate the traced line along the open edges of the plaster
ground.
2. Following the shape just traced, draw a line following this shape about 1/8" outside this shape. This outer line defines
the shape which must be cut out.
For THIN Wall Installation (less than 3/16" thickness)
1. Repeat step 1, above. Be sure to save the screws as the plaster ground will need to be replaced for thin wall installa-
tions.
2 Following the shape just traced, draw a line following this shape about 1/8" inside this shape. This inner line defines
the shape which must be cut out.
Thin Wall Installation
Valve Positioning
For THIN Wall Installation (less than 3/16" thickness)
For THIN wall installation, position the valve so that the front face of the plaster ground is resting
against the backside of the wall. The plaster ground stays in place for THIN wall installations.
