Note!
If both the outlet and inlet positions require reversing, it is easier to
simply rotate the complete shower control by 1/2 turn.

Top outlet
(Refer to Figure 2)
(a) Remove the temperature knob assembly, using the 3 mm A/F hexagonal
wrench (supplied) (Refer to Figure 8).
Do not
remove the temperature hub.
(b) With removal clip still in place, unscrew the head nut using a 35 mm A/F
wrench; this will release the body shroud and also begin to draw the
Thermostatic cartridge out of the body (Refer to Figure 8).
(c) Pull the Thermostatic cartridge free of the shower control.
(d) Rotate the Thermostatic cartridge 1/2 a turn (this reverses the position of the
cartridge hot and cold inlets).
(e) Carefully push the Thermostatic cartridge back into the shower control body.
Make sure that the 2 cartridge inlet port seals remain in place, and locate the
cartridge lugs into the body slots.
Note!
The red and blue markings on the cartridge will now not correspond with
the body markings, so to avoid future confusion remove the red and the blue
stickers from the cartridge.
(f) Carefully align and then tighten the headnut.
Do not
overtighten (maximum
torque 2.5 Nm (1.85 lbf ft)).
(g) Rotate the shower control 1/2 turn.
Note!
The inlet elbows may need repositioning (Refer to Installation).

Reversed inlets
(Refer to Figure 3)
(a)
Remove the temperature knob assembly, using the 3 mm A/F hexagonal
wrench (supplied) (Refer to Figure 8).
Do not
remove the temperature hub.
(b)
With removal clip still in place, unscrew the head nut using a 35 mm A/F
wrench; this will release the body shroud and also begin to draw the
Thermostatic cartridge out of the body (Refer to Figure 8).
Outlet Position/Reversed Inlets
(Refer to Figures 1 to 4)
All Rada Exact-3 series shower controls are supplied with inlet connections configured
hot - left
,
cold - right
, and
bottom outlet
as standard. It is essential that inlet
supplies correspond with the red and blue markings on the Thermostatic cartridge.
Should the existing hot and cold pipework make this configuration inconvenient, or a
top outlet
position be required, the inlets or outlet can be reversed.

If the shower control body has already been installed, isolate the supplies to the
shower control, and open the flow control to release pressure and to assist the
draining of residual water.
