SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate or install the
product.
NOISE AND WATER HAMMER IN PEX SYSTEMS
As with all plumbing materials under some operating conditions, water hammer can occur in PEX
plumbing systems. The inherent flexibility of PEX drastically reduces the magnitude of pressure
surges compared with metallic plumbing materials. Damage to plumbing components in a PEX
system due to these pressure surges in highly unlikely, although noise can sometimes result.
Fortunately, there are solutions to minimize of eliminate water hammer noise.
Clamping or strapping more frequently may help prevent tubing noise. It is very important that the
tubing not be in contact with wall-board, forced air ducts or other high resonance articles. Insufficiently
or improperly clamped or strapped tubing may move during fixture operation and hit against these
surfaces.
Install a water hammer arrester at fixtures where noise is a problem. A water hammer arrester
installed within 6 feet of the fixture on the cold water side only will eliminate the source of the noise:
the pressure wave. It should be noted that even with an arrester, tubing which is clamped or strapped
insufficiently may still hit against something as it moves slightly when the water flow is stopped.
Avoid operating fixtures in such a way that causes near instantaneous shut off. Simply closing fixtures
in a less abrupt manner can eliminate hammer noise.
CAUTION:
Inlet ports are designed to allow for 1/2 in. copper tubing solder connection or 1/2 in. IPS threading
coupling connection. For threaded connections, wrap pipe tape around threaded ends before
connecting. If soldering connections, remove plaster guard, cartridge and check valves. Connect
water supply to the pipe by soldering. Reassemble check valves, cartridge and plaster guard.
Heat damage to these parts may occur and result in the warranty being void on these parts.

SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING
• This product is engineered to meet the EPA WaterSense flow requirement. The flow rate is
governed by the aerator or flow controller. If replacement is ever required, be sure to replace it with
a WaterSense compliant aerator or flow controller to retain the water conserving flow rate of this
product.
• The automatic compensating valve shall be used with shower rated at 1.3 gpm (4.9 L/min) or higher.
• The shower shall be used with automatic compensating valve rated at 1.43 gpm (5.4 L/min) or less.
• The product should be installed by a locally licensed plumber.
PREPARATION
Before beginning assembly of product, make sure all parts are present. Compare parts with package
contents list and hardware contents list. If any part is missing or damaged, do not attempt to
assemble the product.
Estimated Assembly Time: 40 minutes
Tools Required for Assembly (not included): Adjustable Wrench, Screwdriver, Safety Googles.
Helpful Tools (not included): Supply stops, Supply tubing/ttings, Basin wrench.
• Prior to beginning installation, turn off the cold and hot water lines and turn on the old faucet to
release built-up pressure.
• When installing your new faucet, rst hand-tighten connector nuts. Connections that are too tight will
reduce the integrity of the system.
If you are replacing your plumbing valve, please review the four common plumbing methods
illustrated below: CPVC, PEX, IPS, and Copper. Remove the existing handle and valve trim before
replacing your valve. Please follow all local building and plumbing codes.

2. Note the installation distance between shower
arm (B), handle (D), and spout (I).
3a. Thin Wall Installation:
Use this method for when shower walls are
thinner than 1/4 inch, such as fiberglass tub
surrounds, and will be the main source of
support for the valve. The plaster guard remains
attached to the valve. See figure at right.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
3b. Thick Wall Installation:
Use this method when the shower wall is greater
than 1/4 inches thick. “Thick walls” are usually
built up with materials such as cement board,
drywall, tile, etc. The valve is secured by straps
(not included) holding the water inlet lines to the
framing members (2x4’s). The plaster guard 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION
Hot and cold are reversed. Lines reversed or cartridge
installed upside down.
Rotate the cartridge stem 180° so
that the notch is facing down towards
the drain.
There is no or a low water
ow.
One or both water supplies are
not turned on.
Turn both water supply valves
counterclockwise to the on position.
There is leaking or dripping
from the spout after turned
off the handle.
Grommets not sealing properly. Replace the cartridge.
Misplacement of temperature
limit stops.
Reinstall the temperature limit stops
over the cartridge stem when the
round pit on the stem faces upward.
There is only hot water or
only cold water from the
spouts.
Balancing spool stuck. Replace the cartridge.
Water comes out of the
tub spout and showerhead
at the same time when
turning on.
If the pattern of the water ow
switches to the shower from the
tub spout, and the leak from the
tub spout is less than 0.01 GPM,
this is a normal occurrence. Or
consider the causes below:
The valve is installed upside
down.
Change the pipe to 1/2 in. IPS or
COPPER.
The pipe used between the
valve and the tub spout is not
1/2 in. IPS, or the COPPER pipe
is incorrect.
Relocate the showerhead or valve to
ensure the minimal distance of 49 in.
The distance between the valve
and the showerhead is less than
49 in.
Remove the tub spout and ush out
debris and/or replace the undersized
line or ttings.
There is a restriction between
the valve and the tub spout.
Remove the valve and reinstall in the
proper orientation.
