IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
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.
NOTICE:
Do not use petroleum-based lubricants on the valve, as it is harmful to the
O-rings, seals, and plastic components. Only use silicone-based lubricants.
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 A112.18.1 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

Outside the U.S., please contact your distributor.
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO INSTALLERS!
Please fill in the blanks in the adjacent box
and on the valve label. Then insert these instructions into the plastic bag included with
the valve package, and attach the plastic bag to the valve handle for the homeowner’s
reference.
NOTICE TO HOMEOWNERS! This device has been preset by _______________________
of _______________________________ to ensure a safe maximum temperature. Any
change in the setting may raise the discharge temperature above the limit considered
safe, and lead to scalds.

INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANTES
AVERTISSEMENT: Risque de brûlures ou autres blessures graves.
•
Avant de commencer l’installation, l’installateur doit régler la température
maximale de l’eau de cette valve pour réduire au minimum les risques de
brûlures, ceci conformément à la norme ASTM F 444.
•
Ne pas installer un dispositif d’arrêt sur les sorties de cette valve. L’installation
d’un tel dispositif peut créer une condition de débit croisé au régulateur et
modifier la température de l’eau.
•
Les facteurs qui changent la température de l’eau fournie à cette valve, tels que les
changements de température d’eau saisonniers, et le remplacement ou l’entretien
du chauffe-eau, changeront la température maximale de l’eau fournie par le
régulateur et pourront présenter un danger de brûlures. La valve à pression
régulée
ne
compensera pas les changements de température d’alimentation d’eau;
ajuster la température maximale de cette valve à pression équilibrée si de tels
changements se produisent.
