plate (16)) so that 1/4 of the width of the gasket is sticking out beyond the back of the cover plate, see
Figure 2.

The ZURN TEMP-GARD III Pressure Balancing Shower Valve is equipped with an adjustable temperature limit stop. The temperature
limit stop device is to be used to limit the valve handle from being turned to undesired hot water discharge temperatures. To adjust the
temperature limit stop, see step 8 of the installation and reference figure 3.
IMPORTANT: Failure to adjust the temperature limit stop properly increases the chances for serious injury.
WARNING: This shower system may not protect the user from scalding when there is a failure of other
temperature controlling devices elsewhere in the plumbing system.
Notes:
When there is a shutoff valve installed after the control valve, there shall be stop and check valves on the inlets. This is to
eliminate hot and cold cross-connection in the event the valve handle is left on. Specify suffix "-SC" for ASSE approved
checks.
If valve is going to be installed in “Thin Wall Application” such as a fiberglass or panel wall, it is recommended
that an optional wall flange (RK7300-WF) be used. This wall flange is used to sandwich the wall between the
valve body and cover plate.
OPERATION:
The main handle of the Temp-Gard III valve is for temperature control only. To turn valve on, the handle is turned
counterclockwise through the cold position, to the warm and then to the hot position. The range of motion on the
handle is 140
o
.
MAINTENANCE and SERVICE:
1. Remove handle (21) and cover plate (16).
2. Using a flathead screwdriver, turn both service stops (7) clockwise until they bottom out. This allows
the valve to be serviced without turning off the main water supply. If service stops need to be repaired
or replaced, the main water supply must be turned off and the service stop retainer (9) must be
removed by turning counterclockwise.
3. Remove escutcheon nut (20) and escutcheon (19).
4. Remove cartridge (10) by placing thumb and forefinger where shown in figure 4 and carefully wiggling
cartridge.
Caution: If cartridge is not removed in manner described damage may occur to cartridge.
