IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE FOR THE
CONSUMER
WARNING: Risk of scalding or other severe injury.
CAUTION: Risk of scalding hazard. This device has been
calibrated at the factory to ensure a safe maximum water
temperature. Any variance in settings or water inlet conditions
from those used during factory calibration may raise the
discharge temperature above the safe limit, and may present a
scalding hazard.
•Before completing installation, the installer must set the
maximum water temperature setting of this valve to minimize the
risks associated with scalding hazards according to ASTM F 444.
The installer is responsible for adjusting the maximum water
temperature of this valve according to instructions.
This valve meets or exceeds ANSI A112.18.1 and ASSE 1016.
If you do not understand any of the temperature adjustment
instructions in this document, in the United States please contact our
Customer Service Department at 1-800-4-KOHLER. Outside the U.S.,
please contact your distributor.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please fill in the blanks below and on the
valve label. Retain this Homeowners Guide for future reference.
•The valve is calibrated to 104° F (40° C) at the first stop position,
and the maximum temperature limit stop is positioned so the
outlet water temperature does not exceed 120° F (49° C).
•Factory calibrated inlet conditions are:
Hot and cold water pressure = 43-1/2 psi (3 kg/square cm)
Hot water supply temperature = 149° F (65° C)
Cold water supply temperature = 59° F (15° C)
•If 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.

Water Temperature Adjustment
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury. The water temperature
should never be set above 120° F (49° C).
NOTE: This valve has been calibrated at the factory to provide 104°
F (40° C) at the mixing valve’s first stop position, and 120° F (49° C)
at the maximum temperature limit stop. Check the ″Before You
Begin″section of this manual for detailed factory conditions and
compare them to your inlet water conditions. If they differ
dramatically, then you may need to re-calibrate the valve.
NOTE: Do not turn the mixing valve stem at this time. Turning it
will change the factory calibration setting.
Turn the water on and let the water run for several minutes.
Position a thermometer in the water stream and check the
maximum temperature.
If the existing water supply conditions match the factory
conditions, the water temperature should be close to 104° F (40°
C). If the water temperature differs, then remove and discard the
plaster guard if it is still attached.

Water Temperature Adjustment (cont.)
Slowly rotate the thermostatic mixing valve stem until the water
temperature is a constant 104° F (40° C). The white mark on the
limit stop should be in line with the black mark on the mixing
valve body. If necessary, carefully pry the limit stop off the valve
cartridge with a thin blade, and re-install it so the white mark
faces upward as required. The limit stop must be correctly
positioned to ensure trim fit.
Do not turn the thermostatic mixing valve stem after you adjust
the temperature setting until you have installed the mixing
handle trim.
Valve Operation
Turn on the water again, and rotate the knob fully clockwise.
Then, without depressing the knob button, rotate the knob
counterclockwise to the first stop position.
Use a thermometer to determine the water temperature, which
should be about 104° F (40° C) at this position.
After determining the water temperature at the first stop position,
depress the knob button and turn the knob counterclockwise to
the second position (the maximum temperature limit stop).
Use the thermometer to determine the water temperature at the
second position, which must not exceed 120° F (49° C).
If the maximum temperature must be adjusted, repeat the mixing
valve calibration steps in the ″Water Temperature Adjustment″
section.
