flux or acids directly to the valve, as damage to the seals,
plastic components, and trim finish may result.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not apply
petroleum-based lubricants to the valve components, as
damage may result.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Inlet and outlet
threaded joint connections should be made with plumbers
PTFE tape or liquid sealant. Oil-based, non-setting
compounds should not be used.
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury. The water temperature
should never be set above 120°F (49°C).
Observe all local plumbing and building codes.
Shut off the main water supply.
Inspect the supply piping for damage. Replace as necessary.
The bottom port of the thermostatic mixing valve is intended for
use as a bath filler only. If a bath spout is not used with this
product, cap the bottom port.
The thermostatic mixing valves do not contain an integral volume
control/shut-off valve. You must install a separate volume
control/shut-off valve downstream of any used valve outlet.
The thermostatic mixing valves do not have an integral aspirator.
For installations that use a bath diverter spout, you must install a
twin ell with integral aspirator between the valve and the bath
spout. If these thermostatic mixing valves are installed without an
aspirator, it will cause water to flow from the shower and bath
spout at the same time.
Determine the correct drain size and capacity for your
installation. If two thermostatic mixing valves are used together,
water volumes between 18 and 30 gpm (60 and 114 lpm) or more
are possible, depending upon the water supply pressure.
Determine the correct water heater size and capacity for your
installation. A typical shower installation uses an approximate
mix of 75% hot water and 25% cold. A custom shower application
using three 2-1/2 gpm (9.5 lpm) showerheads can use about 45
gallons (170 liters) of hot water in 8 minutes. Choose a water
heater large enough for your installation.
1048326-2-B 4 Kallista

Before You Begin (cont.)
The valve is calibrated to 104°F (40°C) at the first stop position.
The maximum temperature limit stop is positioned so the outlet
water temperature does not exceed 120°F (49°C).
The factory calibrated pressure for hot and cold water inlets is
43-1/2 psi (3 kg/cm squared). The factory calibrated hot water
supply temperature is 149°F (65°C) and the cold water supply
temperature is 59°F (15°C).
If the inlet conditions differ from those used during factory
calibration, it may be necessary to re-calibrate the valve after
installation. The installer must check the mixed flow
temperature after installation and adjust the valve as needed
according to the instructions.
This valve complies with ASME A112.18.1, ASSE 1016, and CSA
B125. The valve is listed with ASSE, CSA, and IAPMO/UPC.
If possible, flush all piping thoroughly before installing the valves
to prevent early clogging of filter screens.
Kallista reserves the right to make revisions in the design of
valves without notice, as specified in the Price Book.

1. Prepare the Site
Determine the desired location for the valve according to the
rough-in information, and construct suitable stud and support
framing.
Use 3/4″nominal copper tubing and fittings throughout this
installation. Smaller diameter piping upstream or downstream of
the valve will reduce performance of the valve.

Install the Valve (cont.)
Use thread sealant and connect the hot and cold water supply
lines to the valve inlet ports. Ensure that the corresponding water
supply lines are connected to the correct inlet ports.
NOTE: If the existing hot and cold plumbing makes this
configuration inconvenient or if it is advantageous to reverse the hot
and cold ports (such as back-to-back installations), see the ″Reverse
the Inlet Supplies″section.
Connect the water outlet lines to the valve ports. Plug any
unused outlet port.
IMPORTANT! Secure the piping to the framing.
NOTE: When using the plaster guard to trace the cut-out, the tick
marks located outside of the guard will assist you in identifying the
spline centers.
Use the plaster guard to determine the depth of the valve in the
wall, and to trace the cut-out line in the wall material.
NOTICE: The finished wall must be within the MIN-MAX depth
shown on trim adapters 1, 2, and 3 of the plaster guard.
Turn on the water supply lines to the valves.
Run the water through the mixing valve, all showers, and the
spout.
Remove the plaster guard to access and inspect the valve.

3. Reverse the Inlet Supplies (optional)
The inlet connections are indicated on the inlet ports of the
thermostatic valve assembly. Left is HOT and right is COLD. If this
configuration is not suitable for your installation, the cartridge may
be rotated 180° to reverse the hot and cold inlet ports.
NOTE: DO NOT pull the removal clip from the cartridge assembly
at any time during this procedure. The retaining clip helps hold the
temperature limit stop and detent components in place and reduces
or eliminates the need for temperature adjustments.
With the valve already installed and pressurized:
Turn both integral supply stops until they contact the stop
bracket.
Turn the volume control valve stem (not shown) fully clockwise
to release the pressure.
Slowly loosen the head nut, turning it counterclockwise. This will
begin to draw the cartridge out of the valve body.
NOTE: Some water may be released. Use a bucket and towels to
contain the water.
Pull the head nut with the cartridge out of the valve body.
NOTE: Two seals may fall out when the cartridge is removed. Set
the seals aside.
Rotate the cartridge 180°.
