IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE FOR THE CONSUMER
WARNING: Risk of scalding or other severe injury.
Before completing installation, the installer must set the maximum
water temperature setting of this valve to minimize the risks associated
with scalding hazards according to ASTM F 444.
Do not install a shut-off device on either outlet of this valve. The
installation of any such device may create a cross-flow condition at the
valve and affect the water temperature.
Factors that change the temperature of the water supplied to the valve,
such as seasonal water temperature changes, and water heater
replacement or servicing, will change the maximum water temperature
supplied by the valve and may create a scalding hazard. The
pressure-balanced valve will not compensate for changes in the water
supply temperature; adjust the maximum water temperature setting of
this pressure-balanced valve when such changes occur.
Pressure-balanced valves may not provide protection against scalding if
there is a failure of other temperature-limiting devices elsewhere in the
plumbing system.
The installer is responsible for installing the valve and adjusting the
maximum water temperature of this pressure-balanced valve
according to instructions.
This valve meets or exceeds ANSI A112.18.1M and ASSE 1016.
If you do not understand any of the installation or temperature adjustment
instructions in this document, in the United States please contact our
Customer Service Department at 1-800-4-KOHLER. Outside the U.S.
please contact your distributor.
