MAINTENANCE
WARRANTY
Your new Shower/Bath Valve is designed for years of
trouble-free performance. Keep it looking new by
cleaning it periodically with a soft cloth. The use of
harsh chemicals and abrasives on any of the Speakman
custom finish products may damage the finish and void
the product warranty. Please be sure to only use
approved cleaners. Please contact Speakman for any
clarification of acceptable cleaners.

and
STEP 2B
.
C
. The recommended valve depth to the finished wall is 1½” minimum to 2½” maximum. Position the valve body
(1) correctly in the wall with the “UP” pointing up. The 8” minimum from the valve body to the tub spout is
required for proper operation.

THIN WALL INSTALLATION
NOTE: Be sure to position the body (2) correctly in the wall, with the markings "UP" facing upward.
“Thin Walls”are usually built up with materials such as a fiberglass tub surround and will be the main source of support
for the valve. The plaster guard (1) remains attached to the valve (2). If you are performing a “Thin Wall” installation,
proceed to

WALL
INSTALLATION
NOTE: Be sure to position the body (2) correctly in the wall, with the markings "UP" facing upward.
“Thick Walls”are usually built up with materials such as cement board, drywall, tile, etc. The plaster guard (1) is
positioned so that it is flush with the finished wall. This ensures that the valve will be at the correct position to accept the
trim. The depth for valve body (2) in wall is measured from center of Valve inlets to finished wall surface. The accepted
depth distance is 1½” - 2½”. When the depth distance is 1½” - 2”, there will be interference between the plaster guard
and escutcheon, we suggest removing the plaster guard after the wall installation.
