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.

Installation
1 Preparing for installation
CAUTION: Always shut off the water supply before
removing an existing faucet or replacing any part of a
faucet. Open the faucet handle to relieve water pressure
and ensure that the water is completely shut off.
2 Installing the valve body
□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 1-1/2 in. min. to
2-1/2 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 with materials such
as berglass which will not support the valve.
Please keep the plaster guard (L) attached to the
valve as it will be your main source of support.
□
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 1-1/2 in.
to 2-1/2 in.. When the depth distance is 1-1/2 in.
to 2-1/4 in., there will be interference between the
plaster guard (L) and escutcheon (E). It is
recommended that you remove the plaster guard (L)
after the wall installation.
□
NOTE: Be sure to position the valve body (D) correctly in
the wall, with the side marked "UP" facing upward.

3Installing the supply connections
□
□Tighten the pipes to the valve body (D) with a

the pipe threads in a clockwise direction, as shown.
□
Connect the hot and cold water supply lines (1,
not included), the shower outlet pipe (2, not
included), and tub outlet pipe (3, not included)
by threading them into the valve body (D) in a
clockwise direction.
Connect the pipe elbows (4, not included) to
the end of the shower outlet and tub outlet pipes.
□
NOTE: The hot water supply lines go into the "H" inlet, and 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).
3b Copper pipe connections
(for soldering)
□

5Installing the shower arm
□Insert the long end of the shower arm (B) through
the shower ange (A), and wrap thread sealant
tape (not included) around the long end of the
shower arm (B) in a clockwise direction, as shown.
Install the long end of the shower arm (B) into the
pipe elbow inside the wall. Carefully tighten the

over tighten.
□
Wrap thread sealant tape around the pipe
threads of the tub spout outlet (1, not included)
in a clockwise direction, as shown.
□
Connect the tub spout outlet pipe (the tub spout
outlet pipe should project 3-27/32 in. from the
nished wall) to the lower pipe elbow (2, not
included). Tighten the elbow and tub spout outlet
pipe connections with a strap wrench.
□
4Back to back installation
NOTE: Never install the valve body (D) upside down!
The appropriate locking torque of the bonnet (2) is
10~12 N·M. Do not over-tighten it.
□If the hot and cold inlets are reversed (hot on
right and cold on left), remove the sleeve (1),
and bonnet nut (2) from the valve body (D) with
reversed supply connections. Rotate the
cartridge (3) 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 (2) over the cartridge (3) and
thread them onto the valve body (D). Tighten
bonnet (2) securely with adjustable wrench until
the o-ring on the valve body (D) is covered
completely. Reassemble the sleeve (1), and
hand-tighten it only.
