Important Information
□ Do not install this product until you read and understand the instructions in this manual. If you are installing this
product for someone else, leave this manual for the owner’s/ user’s reference.
□ 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 sealant tape around threaded ends before connecting. If soldering
connections, certain inammable parts should be removed prior to the soldering in order to avoid heat damage.
If you are unsure how to properly remove these parts, please call us at 1-855-HD-Glacier.
□ Protect your eyes with safety glasses when cutting or soldering water supply lines.
□ NOISE AND WATER HAMMER IN PEX SYSTEMS: Due to the inherent exibility of PEX compared with metallic
plumbing materials, water hammer and noise can sometimes occur from the pressure surges. It is important to
ensure the tubing is not in contact with wallboard, forced air ducts or other high-resonance materials. Clamping
or strapping can help prevent these noises. DO NOT USE PEX tubing from the valve to the tub spout.

2 Installing the valve body and
removing the plaster guard
□Shut off the water supply to the tub and
shower.
□Verify that the hole sizes and positions of the
holes in the wall are correct
□The shower and tub spout outlet holes
should be 1-1/4 in. diameter.
□Refer to Step 2 for valve access hole
dimensions.
□The recommended valve depth to the
nished wall is 2-1/2 in. min. to 3 in. max.
□Ensure that the valve body (D) cover is ush
with the nished exterior surface of the wall.
Position the valve body (D) correctly in the
wall with the side marked "UP" pointing up. The
8 in. minimum from the valve body (D) to the tub
spout (J) is required for proper operation.
A. Thin Wall Installation
“Thin Walls” are usually built up with materials
such as berglass tub surrounding them and will
be the main source of support for the valve. The
plaster guard (L) remains attached to the valve.
□
B. Thick Wall Installation
“Thick Walls” are usually built up with materials such
as cement board, drywall, tile, etc. The plaster guard
(L) is positioned so that it is ush with the nished
wall. This ensures that the valve will be at the correct
position to accept the trim. The depth for the valve
body (D) in wall is measured from the center of the
shower outlet to the nished wall surface. The
accepted depth distance is 2-1/2 in. to 3 in..
□
Unscrew the screws (K), and remove the plaster
guard (L).
□
NOTE: Be sure to position the valve body (D) correctly in
the wall, with the side marked "UP" facing upward.

the cold water supply lines go into the "C" inlet. Do not use
PEX or CPVC between the valve body (D) and tub spout (J).
NOTE: If you do not wish to install the tub outlet, insert
the plug (I) into the bottom of the valve body (D).
4Back to back installation
NOTE: Never install the valve body (D) upside down!
□If the hot and cold inlets are reversed (hot on
right and cold on left), remove the screw (1),
inverter (2), sleeve (3), and bonnet (4) from the
valve body (D) with reversed supply connections.
Rotate the cartridge (5) 180°, so H appears on
the right. Install the cartridge making sure that
the key is fully engaged with the slot in the
valve body (D). Slide the bonnet (4) over the
cartridge (5) and thread them onto the valve
body (D). Hand tighten securely. Reassemble
the sleeve (3), inverter (2) and screw (1). If you
are not making a reverse or back to back
installation, skip this step and continue with
the step 5.

NOTE: The limiter on the valve can be set to allow partial
or full access to hot water by limiting how far the handle
can be turned to the hot side of the valve. The limiter is
typically set at the factory to allow only warm water to pass
through the valve. Follow the directions in this section if you
wish to adjust the amount of hot water that is allowed
through the valve. If you do not wish to adjust the amount
of hot water that is allowed through the valve, proceed to
the step 11, and skip over the step 10 (A, B, C).

Troubleshooting
NOTE: Refer to the Service Parts section in this manual
for a detailed drawing showing the location of the parts
listed below.
Problem Possible Cause Solution
Hot and cold are reversed. The lines are reversed or the cartridge is
installed upside down.
□Rotate the cartridge stem 180°
so that the notch is facing down
towards the drain.
There is no ow or a low
water ow.
□Turn both water supply valves
counterclockwise to the on
position.
There is leaking or dripping
from the spout when the
handle is closed.
The grommets are not sealing properly. □Replace the cartridge.
One or both water supplies are not turned
on.
Water comes out of the
tub spout and showerhead
at the same time.
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 pipe used between the valve and the
tub spout is not 1/2 in. IPS, or the COPPER
pipe is incorrect.
! The distance between the valve and the
showerhead is less than 48 in..
! There is a restriction between the valve
and the tub spout.
! The valve is installed upside down.
□Change the pipe to IPS or
COPPER.
□The distance from the
showerhead and valve moved
to at least 48 in..
□Remove the tub spout and ush
out debris and/or replace the
undersized line or ttings.
□Remove the valve and reinstall it
using the correct orientation.
The temperature range is
restricted.
The temperature limit stop is out of position. □Refer to the section Adjusting
the Temperature.
The handle cannot be
installed or the handle rubs
against the escutcheon.
The valve is installed too far back from the
nished wall.
□Reinstall the valve (refer to Step
2 of the Installation section).
The handle is hard to turn. The bonnet nut is too tight. □Loosen the bonnet nut and
reinstall it. Do not overtighten.

Información importante
□ No instales este producto hasta que hayas leído y entendido las instrucciones de este manual. Si estás instalando
este producto para alguien, déjale este manual para que le sirva como referencia al dueño/usuario.
□ Los puertos de entrada están diseñados para 1/2 plg. Conexión de soldadura de tubería de COBRE o 1/2 plg.
Conexión de acoplamiento de rosca IPS. Para conexiones roscadas, envuelve los extremos roscados con cinta
selladora antes de conectar. Si vas a soldar las conexiones, algunas partes inamables deben quitarse antes
de la soldadura para evitar daños por calor. Si no estás seguro sobre cómo quitar estas partes, llámanos a
1-855-HD-Glacier.
□ Al soldar o cortar las líneas de suministro de agua, protege tus ojos con gafas de seguridad.
□ RUIDO Y GOLPE DE ARIETE EN SISTEMAS PEX: Debido a la exibilidad inherente del PEX, en comparación con
materiales de plomería metálicos, el ruido y golpe de ariete puede ocurrir de vez en cuando por sobrecargas
de presión. Es importante garantizar que la tubería no esté en contacto con paneles de pared, ductos de aire
propulsado u otros materiales de alta resonancia. La sujeción o anclaje son métodos para evitar estos ruidos.
NO USES tuberías PEX desde la válvula al caño de la bañera.
