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.

□Shut off the water supply to the tub and

□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.
2 Installing the valve body
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 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.
