Important Information
1. 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.
2. Inlet ports are designed to allow for 1/2 in. COPPER connection or 1/2 in. IPS threaded connection. For threaded
connection warp thread seal tape around male threads on valve before connection ttings. If soldering
conncetions, cartridge and integral stops must be removed to avoid heat damage and reinstalled when
connections are completed and cooled. If you are unsure how to remove these parts please call us at 1-800-HD-
Glacier (1-800-494-5884).
3. 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.

The “Thick Wall” installation method is used 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 (G) is positioned so that it is ush with
the nished wall. This ensures that the valve will be
