SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
Service Instructions
Caution- Any repair or servicing of the Valve may effect the maximum outlet temperature
setting of the Valve. After working on the Valve, make sure the maximum outlet tempera-
ture is set to the recommended setting of 110 °F.
Cartridge Removal
1) Shut off the HOT & COLD water supplies to the Valve. Remove the Handle Screw &
Handle. Remove Trim Plate Screw & Trim Plate.
2) With the Valve in the “OFF” position, remove the (4) Valve Bonnet Screws. Carefully
remove the Bonnet.
3) If necessary, remove the Balancing/Regulating Cartridge from the Valve Body by
pulling on the Valve Spindle or the Blue Cap of the Cartridge. Make sure the Lower
Rubber Quad Rings (2) are installed in the bottom of the Cartridge and not in the Valve
Body.
4) Replace the necessary parts with new parts. When replacing the Balancing/Regulating
Cartridge, make sure that the Rubber Quad-Rings (2) are properly installed in the recesses
on the bottom of the Cartridge. These Quad-Rings seal over the hot & cold inlet holes
inside the body. When replacing the cartridge, make sure the “H” on the cartridge cover
is on the hot supply side and the “C” on the cartridge cover is on the cold supply side.
5) Make sure the Large Bonnet O-Ring Seal is installed and seated properly in the Valve
Body. Reassemble the Valve Bonnet, making sure the “UP” on the Bonnet is in the up
position. Tighten the (4) Bonnet Screws. Turn ON the HOT & COLD water supplies. Check
valve for leaks.
6) To limit the maximum hot water temperature the valve delivers, adjust the valve’s
Temperature Limit Stop (TLS) Plate. Slip the Retaining O-Ring and the TLS plate towards the
end of the Spindle. Rotate the Valve Handle clockwise to the maximum desired hot water
temperature. Position the TLS plate so it contacts the Lug on the Valve Bonnet and
therefore restricts the clockwise rotation of the handle. Slip the retaining O-ring back into
the groove of the Spindle. Turn off the Valve and remove the Handle.
7) Reassemble the Trim Parts, reversing the above procedure.
