IMPORTANT:
¾
To ensure this product is installed properly, you
must read and follow these guidelines.
¾
The owner/user of this product must keep this
information for future reference.
¾
This product is intended to work with the
Waterworks Universal Pressure Balance Valve (Style
# GUPB81R). The risk of scalding exists until the
installer has properly calibrated/adjusted the
temperature setting during final trim installation.
¾
The bottom outlet of the GUSV81R is intended for
use with a tub spout with an integrated diverter
only.
¾
Do not use Pex piping from the valve to the tub
spout. This will cause too much back pressure for
the valve to function properly.
¾
Be sure your installation conforms to federal state,
and local codes. In the State of Massachusetts, all
installations must comply with the rules and
regulations set forth within 248 CMR.
¾
This product must be installed by a professional
licensed contractor.

required for proper installation.
¾
This product must be on-site prior to rough-in which
allows the installer to visualize the installation.
¾
Use only a strap wrench or protected/smooth-jaw
wrench on any finished surface.
VALVE OPERATION:
1.
When the finished wall is complete, turn on the hot
and cold supplies and pull off the tile guard. Valve
will not operate unless BOTH supplies are turned on.
2.
The lever handle (5) is for controlling the
temperature only, not volume. Place the handle on
the valve stem so it rests at 6 o'clock in the OFF
position and then turn the handle counter clockwise
through the cold, then warm and stopping at the hot
position. If additional rotational friction is required to
maintain the handle position, tighten the packing
nut.
3.
Allow the valve to run in the warm position for a few
minutes to completely flush the system. If system is
quite dirty, remove valve spindle to ensure proper
flushing. Refer to the Installation Guidelines for the
Pressure Balance Valve which contains a complete
parts breakdown and related information.
