• A hot/cold Automatic Compensating Shower Valve which
complies with ASSE 1016-2011/ASME A112.1016-2011/
CSA B125.16-11 is required (NOT INCLUDED)
• Nipple should extend no more than ½" past finished
wall surface.
1. Determine the length
Nipple
(D) needed.
a. Place mark on existing shower arm at wall surface.
Unscrew shower arm from elbow in wall.
b. Measure distance from mark on shower arm to end of
shower arm threads. Add ½" to this measurement, and
then round to nearest ½".
Example 1: If measurement = 1¼", add ½" = 1¾",
rounded = 2" NPT nipple—this is the length needed.
Example 2: If measurement = 1
5

",
rounded = 2" NPT nipple—this is the length needed.
IMPORTANT—
If existing shower arm is located above the
tile/fiberglass wall surface you must add the distance from
the sheetrock to face of the tile/fiberglass shower wall to the
above measurement.
NOTE—
If supplied 2"
Nipple
(D) is not the correct length
based on above formula, you must obtain the correct size,
sold separately. Various length NPT brass nipples are readily
available at most hardware stores.
2. Apply a generous amount of
Teflon Tape
(N) to both ends of
the
Nipple

Flow Restrictor Information
This unit contains flow restrictors limiting flow to 2.5 gallons per
minute. If the flow rate is less than expected, or reduces over
time, you may have an obstruction at the inlet restrictor.
To check for debris, remove shower unit from wall, exposing the
Inlet Fitting
(C) (attached to wall).
Using needle nose pliers, rotate C-clip until one end enters the
cutout section of the fitting, then pull the C-clip out completely.
With needle nose pliers, gently depress the inner yellow ring of
the restrictor to expose the white spindle. Hold the spindle with
pliers and pull toward you to remove.
Remove the screen and turn cold water on
—SLOWLY.
Run water for 15 seconds to remove debris from water line.
Check screen and restrictor for sediment. Use water and a soft
nylon brush (if necessary) to remove sediment.
When finished, first replace the screen, then the restrictor and
finally the C-clip.
The
Shower Head
(H)
and
Hand Shower
(I)
are equipped with
flow restrictors limiting flow rate to 2.5GPM(9.5LPM) as
per the standard ASME A112.18.1/CSA B 125.1.
Your Lanikai Showerspa is fully functional with or without
the restrictors. Depending on your local plumbing codes, the
restrictors may or may not be necessary.
