IMPORTANT:
The Rotational Limit Stop is used to limit the amount
of hot water available such that, if set properly, the
user will not be scalded if the handle accidentally is
rotated all the way to “hot” when a person is showering.
The first position allows the
LEAST
amount of hot
water to mix with the cold water in the system. In the
first position the water will be the coldest possible
when the handle is turned all the way to hot. As you
move the Rotational Limit Stop counterclockwise, you
progressively add more and more hot water in the mix.
The last position to the left will result in the greatest
amount of hot water to the mix, and the greatest risk
of scald injury if someone accidentally turns the valve
handle all the way to the hot side while showering.
WARNING: In some instances, setting the
Rotational Limit Stop in the hottest position (full
counterclockwise) could result in scald injury. It is
necessary to adjust the Rotational Limit Stop so
that the water coming out of the valve will not scald
the user when the handle of the valve is rotated to
the hot side.
• According to the majority of industry standards, the
maximum allowable temperature of the water exiting
the valve is 120°F (Your local plumbing codes may
require a water temperature less than 120°F).
• Run the water so that the cold water is as cold as it
will get and hot water is as hot as it will get. Place the
handle on the stem (see page 6, step 2D) and rotate
the handle counterclockwise until the handle stops.
• Place a thermometer in a plastic tumbler and hold
in the water stream. If the water temperature is above
120°F, the Rotational Limit Stop must be repositioned
clockwise to decrease valve outlet water temperature to
be less than 120°F or to meet the requirements of your
local plumbing codes.
• To adjust the temperature of the water coming out of
the valve:
A.
Pull the clip (1) from the sleeve (2) and rotational
limit stop (3).
B.
Note the position of the rotational limit stop
(3). Pull the rotational limit stop out from the
sleeve (2) enough so that it can be rotated
clockwise to decrease the outlet temperature
or counterclockwise to increase the outlet
temperature.
C.
Once the desired outlet temperature is reached,
make sure rotational limit stop is pushed back onto
the sleeve so that the clip (1) can be reinstalled.
Make sure clip is secure on sleeve
. Reassemble
handle to valve stem.
• MAKE SURE COLD WATER FLOWS FROM THE
VALVE FIRST. MAKE SURE WATER FLOWING FROM
THE VALVE AT THE HOTTEST FLOW POSSIBLE
DOES NOT EXCEED 120°F OR THE MAXIMUM
ALLOWED BY YOUR LOCAL PLUMBING CODE.
