5. Water Temperature Adjustment
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury.
The water temperature
should never be set above 120° F (49° C).
NOTE:
This valve has been calibrated at the factory to provide 104°
F (40° C) at the mixing valve’s first stop position, and 120° F (49° C)
at the maximum temperature limit stop. Check the

section of this manual for detailed factory conditions and
compare them to your inlet water conditions. If they differ
dramatically, then you may need to re-calibrate the valve.
NOTE:
Do not turn the mixing valve stem at this time. Turning it
will change the factory calibration setting.
Turn the water on and let the water run for several minutes.
Position a thermometer in the water stream and check the
maximum temperature.
If the existing water supply conditions match the factory
conditions, the water temperature should be close to 104° F (40°
C). If the water temperature differs, then remove and discard the
plaster guard if it is still attached.
