Installation considerations
• For best results, Hansgrohe recommends that
this unit be installed by a licensed, profes-
sional plumber.
• Please read over these instructions thoroughly
before beginning installation. Make sure that
you have all tools and supplies needed to
complete the installation.
• Pressure balance valve rough 04120000 (not
included) must be installed, and the finished
wall surface must be installed and made wa-
tertight before installation of this trim kit.
• The tub spout (included with 04210000 /
04199000 / 04203000 only) requires a ½"
NPT male nipple, extending 4" - 4 ¼" outside
the surface of the finished wall.
• The shower arm requires a ½" NPT female
fitting.
• The max. flow rate of the valve is 4.5 GPM.

• The max. flow rate of the showerhead is 1.6
GPM.
• The shower valve incorporates a high tem-
perature limit stop which must be set to comply
with local plumbing codes.
• This product is for use with shower heads rated
at 1.5 GPM (5.6 l/min) or higher.
• To prevent scald injury, the maximum output
temperature of the shower mixing valve (not
included) must be no higher than 120°F. In
Massachusetts, the maximum output tempera-
ture can be no higher than 112° F.
• Know and follow all applicable local plumb-
ing codes when setting the temperature on the
water heater.

Trim installation
Turn the water off at the main before beginning.
Remove the cover (1), bonnet nut (2), and test cap (3),
from the valve body. If the screen (5) is still present,
remove it as well.
If the valve is installed in a fiberglass or acrylic enclo-
sure, the plaster shield (4) must remain in place. In all
other installations, the plaster shield may be removed, if
desired.
Normal installation: Insert the cartridge in the
valve with the “hot side” marking on the left.
Reversed installation (cold on left/hot on right):
Insert the cartridge so that the “hot side” markings are
on the right.
All installations: Make sure that the cartridge en-
gages the holes inside the valve. The keys on the sides
of the cartridge should engage the slots on the sides of
the valve.
Install the bonnet nut. Tighten it hand tight.

5
Install the o-ring on the cartridge. It should rest just
behind the bonnet nut.
Push the sleeve over the cartridge, body, and o-ring.
Remove the backing from the sealing tape. Press the
sealing tape around the reverse of the escutcheon.
Install the escutcheon. Fasten it to the bracket with the
two screws. Do not overtighten the screws.
Test the valve: Temporarily install the handle. Turn
the handle clockwise until it stops. Turn the water on at
the main. Turn the handle counter-clockwise. The cold
water should come on first, and become warmer the
farther the handle is turned.
Turn the handle counter-clockwise until it stops.
Measure the temperature of the output water with a
thermometer.
CAUTION: If the hot water comes on first, reverse
the cartridge. See the cartridge removal instructions
on page 7 and the reversed installation instructions on
page 4.

6
If the water is hotter than the maximum temperature
permitted by local code (110° - 112°F in many areas),
reset the rotational limit stop (see below).
Install the handle adapter and screw.
Install the handle. Tighten the handle screw with a 3mm
Allen wrench.
Set the rotational limit stop (high temper-
ature limit stop)
The rotational limit stop may need to be adjusted
seasonally, or if changes are made to the water heater.
Remove the handle. Pull the disc away from the
cartridge enough so that you can grasp the rotational
limit stop.
Pull out on the rotational limit stop and turn it clockwise
to make the water cooler, counter-clockwise to make
it warmer. The temperature change per tooth can be
4°F - 16°F, depending on the water conditions. Test.
Repeat if necessary.
Push the disc back into place, until fully
seated. Failure to do so could result in
scald injury.

Cartridge removal
If the cartridge must be removed for any reason, follow
these steps.
Turn the water off at the main.
Remove the handle and sleeve.
Remove the bonnet nut.
Caution: Do not attempt to pry the
cartridge out with a screwdriver!
Position the handle on the stem. Turn counter-
clockwise approximately ¼ turn after the stop is
contacted.
Lift the cartridge from the valve body.

Shower arm installation
Push the flange over the end of the shower arm.
Wrap the threads on the shower arm with several layers
of Teflon tape.
Install the arm in the female fitting in the wall. Tighten
with a strap wrench.
Seal the wall around the shower
arm with waterproof sealant.
Failure to seal the wall can lead to
possible water damage.
Slide the flange against the wall.
Showerhead installation
Because of the self-sealing filter gasket, Teflon tape is not
necessary.
Screw the showerhead onto the arm. Do not overtighten,
or damage to the showerhead or arm can result.
Tub spout installation
Seal the wall around the nipple
with waterproof sealant.
Failure to seal the wall can lead to
possible water damage.
Wrap the threads on the nipple with several layers of
Teflon thread tape.
Screw the tub spout to the nipple. Tighten with a strap
wrench to prevent damage to the finish.

the label instructions.
