Setting Valve Temperature
1) Turn hot and cold water supply on.
2) Open faucet to allow hot water to flow for a
minimum of one minute. For two handle faucets
turn on hot water only. For single handle faucets
turn on to the hot position.
3) Remove screw and cap.
4) Place thermometer in the outlet stream. Measure
and accurately set temperature. Inlet temperature
must be ± 10°F (5.55°C) of desired output.
5) To
increase
temperature turn stem counter-clock-
wise. To
decrease
temperature turn stem clock-
wise.
For single temperature applications adjust valve
outlet temperature with full flow of tempered
water from fitting.
For dual temperature applications open
approximately 50% of all faucets to their full hot
position to ensure proper operating temperature
at peak demand.
6) Replace cap and screw once desired tempurature
has been met
Note:
Once the safety cap and screw have been
installed the outlet temperature cannot be changed
without repeating steps 2-6.
Warning: Water temperatures in excess of
110°F (43°C) may cause scalding, or
severe injury!
