EXIRA SHOWER SET INSTALLATION
Step 1: Valve Installation
3. Route, assemble, and connect all in-wall piping as
desired to and from the shower valve. Make all connec
-
tions appropriately depending upon the type of pipe
that is being used. For copper pipe, soldering will be
required and should be completed by a licensed
plumber. Apply plumber’s tape to any threaded connec
-
tions if applicable. Install any wood blocking that is
necessary to support the piping and valve.
Important Notes:
A) The valve has a single function outlet on the bottom,
and a 3-way diverter on the top of the valve.
B) One shower function of your choosing can be routed
to the bottom valve outlet, while the other three
functions will route to the 3-way diverter.
C) The functions routed to the 3-way diverter will not be
able to be used simultaneously, but each can be used in
conjunction with the function routed to the bottom
outlet.
D) Female fittings will need to be placed where the body
jets will be installed. The fittings should sit no more than
1/4” behind the finished wall.
E) A ½” NPT pipe nipple will need to be placed where the
supply elbow for the hand shower will be installed. The
nipple should extend 9/16” beyond the finished wall.
2. Secure the valve to the prepared wood blocking
using the provided hardware. Ensure that the “cold”
inlet is pointing to the right, and the “hot” inlet is
pointing to the left. Use a level to ensure that the valve
is straight and level. Leave the protective sleeves on
the valve stems until your finished wall is complete,
and you are ready to install the trim pieces.
Important:
Handle screws may be located in the small
box containing other hardware. Do not discard.

1. To prepare for installation, wood blocking should be
installed between the two studs where the valve will
mount. The face of the wood blocking should rest 1 ¼”
behind the face of the wall studs.
Important:
Take into consideration the thickness of
the finished wall materials, such as tile, when calculating
measurements.
