The Service (Isolation) Stops
ThermoBalance III Rough Valve 06624000
ThermoBalance III Rough Valve with Stops 06628000
The cartridge shown is
included with the trim kit.
(For the sake of clarity, the plastic
installation box (i-box) is not shown in
these illustrations. Do not remove the i-
box.)
Rough valve 06628000 has service
stops (isolation stops) built onto the
valve. When the slots are horizontal,
the stops are in the “on” position.
When the slots are vertical, the stops
are in the “off” position. Use a 3 mm
Allen wrench to open and close the
stops.
CAUTION: When connecting the
hot and cold supplies, hold the stop
steady with a wrench to avoid stop
misalignment and breakage of the
factory sealed thread compound.

Installation considerations:
For best results, this valve should be installed by a licensed professional plumber.
Large pressure differences between the hot and cold supplies should be balanced for
proper operation of the valve.
Before beginning the installation, read the instructions thoroughly. Inspect the product,
and be sure that all parts are present and in good condition.
If you have questions or concerns regarding this installation, please contact Hansgrohe
Technical Services at 800 334 0455.
Rough valve 06624000 does not include service stops. If stops are required by lo-
cal plumbing code, order the stops separately (item #06900003) or use rough valve
06628000.
This ThermoBalance III rough valve is for use in a three-function shower
only. All outlets must be plumbed. Do not plug any outlet.
If a two-function shower with a shared function is desired, follow the
special piping instructions on page 5.
The ThermoBalance III rough requires a ThermoBalance III trim kit. Do not attempt to use
any other trim kit.
Do not attempt to use this valve with a diverter tub spout.

A look at the ThermoBalance III
The ThermoBalance III has one outlet on the
bottom of the valve (outlet I) and two on the
top of the valve (outlets II & III).
Outlet I can only be run by itself. In a tub/
shower installation, the tub spout is connected
to outlet I.
Outlets II & III can be run either individually or
simultaneously.
•
•
•
In a three-function shower, the user must decide
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION which two functions
he/she wishes to be able to run at the same time. These two functions must be plumbed
from outlets II & III. Additionally, he/she must decide which function he/she wants to
have come on first. As the handle is turned from the “off” position, outlet II will come on
first.

Suggested Layouts - three feature systems
These are the most common installations using the ThermoBalance III valve, but are not the
only ones possible.
The handshower is plumbed to outlet 1
- it can only be run by itself. The shower-
head is on 2 and the bodyjets on 3. The
showerhead and bodyjets can be run
either individually or at the same time. The
showerhead comes on first.
In this tub/shower installation, the tub spout is
on outlet 1 and can only be run by itself. The
showerhead and handshower on outlets 2
and 3 can be run either individually or at the
same time. The showerhead comes on first.

NO! OK!
Special Piping – the two feature system
Do not plug any outlet on the
ThermoBalance III In this installation, the user wished to
be able to use the showerhead and
the bodysprays simultaneously. Note
how outlet #1 is also connected to the
showerhead.
Installation:
Caution: Turn the water off at the main before continuing.
Install the hot and cold supply lines on the rough.
The hot supply must be connected to the hot inlet,
and the cold supply must be connected to the cold
inlet. In an older home, confirm that the hot and
cold supplies are not reversed. If the supplies are
not connected to the correct inlets, the valve cannot
function correctly.
Model 06628000 only: When connecting the
hot and cold supplies, hold the stop steady with a
wrench to avoid stop misalignment and breakage
of the factory sealed thread compound.
Install all outlet lines. Do not plug any outlet.
The valve should be level in all planes. (For the sake of clarity, the i-box is not
shown in this illustration.)
English

Install the rough so that the outside surface of the
finished wall falls between the “minimum” and
“maximum” lines on the installation box (i-box).
This will insure that the trim fits correctly.
The i-box must remain on the
valve.
Flush the supplies using the flushing
plug
The i-box incorporates a flushing plug to permit
line flushing and pressure testing before the car-
tridge and trim are installed.
A pressure test of the piping should be performed
before the walls are closed.
The flushing plug permits hot water to flow through
outlets I & II and the cold water to flow through
outlet III.
Install hose bibbs and hoses to the outlets. Flush
the lines for at least 5 minutes. Use the hoses
to direct the water to a location where it will not
cause damage.
The flushing plug prevents cross flow. However, it
will not stop the flow of water through the outlets.
If the building is to be pressurized prior to instal-
lation of the cartridge, close the stops or plug the
outlets.
Install the wall material up to the i-box. When the
trim is installed, the i-box will be trimmed nearly
flush with the finished wall, and sealed to provide
protection against water damage.

Installation
Cut the installation box (i-box) so that it extends
1/16” outside the finished wall.
Remove the label.
Cut the eight support arms that connect the flush-
ing plug to the i-box. Remove the flushing plug.
Do not discard the screws.
Insert the cartridge in the rough. The locator tab
goes straight into the notch on the rough.
Use the flushing plug screws to connect the
cartridge retainer plate to the rough. Tighten the
screws evenly with a manual screwdriver. Do not
over tighten the screws.
Seal the wall around the i-box
with waterproof sealant.
Failure to seal the wall can lead
to possible water damage.
Turn the water off at the main, or at
the stops, before beginning.
Be sure that the blue sealing
gasket is removed as well.
Failure to remove the gasket
can result in possible damage
to the cartridge and possible
water damage.

Turn on the water supplies. Grasp the stop unit
and turn it.
If there is a leak around the cartridge, turn the
supplies off, and remove the cartridge. Confirm
that the sealing gasket from the flushing plug was
removed.
Reinstall the cartridge. Turn the stop unit.
If the unit continues to leak, contact
Hansgrohe Customer Service for a re-
placement cartridge.
Solaris only (oval escutcheon): Snap the
white Duotec spacers onto the carrier plate.
Install two Duotec strips on the spacers. Install the
two remaining strips on the back of the escutcheon
(trim plate).
All other models (round escutcheon):
Install two Duotec strips directly on the carrier
plate. Install the remaining two strips on the back
of the escutcheon.

Justify the handle
Tools required:
Thermometer
3 mm Allen wrench
Turn the valve on. Place the thermometer in the
water stream.
Turn the temperature control knob until the output
water is 100°F.
Turn the water off.
Use a 3 mm Allen wrench to loosen the handle set
screw. Remove the handle from the valve (1).
Hold the handle lever in one hand. With the
other hand, turn the temperature control knob
approximately ½ turn clockwise (2a). Then,

All models: Install the carrier plate and gasket
with the carrier plate screws.
Press the escutcheon firmly over the carrier plate.
The strips of Duotec will interlock, producing a
very firm hold.
Install the handle. Tighten the handle screw with
a 3 mm Allen wrench. The handle screw must
engage the slot milled into the brass on the bottom
of the cartridge.
Set the high temperature limit stop (optional) – see
