Installation Instructions/Instrucciones de Instalación
1. Determine the location of the valve. Make sure the back of the valve will measure 2 3/8” - 3 1/4“ from the surface of
the
finished
wall. Then install support framing to mount the valve to.
2. Position the valve in the wall (check depth) and secure into place on the support framing using the provided screws.
3. Install 3/4” NPT threaded copper adapters to the outlet and Hot/Cold inlets, applying teflon tape to all
threaded connections. Then solder copper piping onto adapters and run to designated water supply or outlet.
Important! Take the following precautions if soldering copper piping directly onto valve:
a) Remove ALL components from the valve prior to soldering, including plaster guards, cartridge and service stops.
b) Wrap valve body with cold rag before soldering. Take special care not to overheat brass rough-in.
c) Use copper piping only, DO NOT attempt to solder steel piping to valve.
d) Flush all pipes before reinstalling cartridge and service stops.
e) Reinstall all components after soldering.
4. Install 1/2” nipple to outlet so it extends beyond the finished wall and install water-tight cap.
5. Turn on the Hot/Cold water supplies and check for any leaks. Turn water supply off.
6. Re move the cap and plaster guard and turn water supply on. Make sure to have a container
set up to collect the water then turn the water supply on and flush .
