1. Install the Valve Stem Adapter
IMPORTANT! Two screws of each length are supplied for this step,
one metric and one standard. If the screw you are using is difficult
to thread into the opening, remove it and use the other screw.
NOTE: Check the finished wall surface as related to the graphics on
the plaster guard.
Select the correct length valve stem adapter and valve stem
adapter screw for your application. Refer to the information
stamped on the plaster guard to verify the wall thickness.
For a thin wall - 3/16″(5 mm) to 9/16″(1.4 cm):use the 7/8″(2.2
cm) (short size) valve stem adapter, stamped ″3″on the plaster
guard. Use the 3/4″(1.9 cm) screw for the top valve and the 1-3/8″
(3.5 cm) screw for the lower valve.
For a standard wall - 9/16″(1.4 cm) to 1-1/16″(2.7 cm):use the
1-3/8″(3.5 cm) (middle size) valve stem adapter, stamped ″1″on the
plaster guard. Use the 1-3/8″(3.5 cm) screw for the top valve and
the 1-3/4″(4.4 cm) screw for the lower valve.
For a thick wall - 1-1/16″(2.7 cm) to 1-9/16″(4 cm):use the 1-7/8″
(4.8 cm) (long size) valve stem adapter, stamped ″2″on the plaster
guard. Use the 1-3/4″(4.4 cm) screw for the top valve and the
2-3/8″(6 cm) screw for the lower valve.
Remove and discard the plaster guard from the valve.
Select the correct
valve stem adapter.

2. Adjust the Handle Assembly
Ensure the valve stem adapters are lightly placed over the spline
adapters.
Place the handle assembly over the valve stem adapter of the
volume control valve (top).
Turn the handle assembly counterclockwise until it stops. The
volume control handle assembly should be in the vertical 12
o’clock position. This is the off position.
Remove the handle assembly and set aside.
Place the remaining handle assembly over the valve stem adapter
of the thermostatic valve (bottom).
Turn the handle assembly clockwise until the stop is contacted.
The valve will be in the full cold position. The handle should be
between the 9 and 10 o’clock positions.
Rotate the handle assembly counterclockwise, through the detent,
then to the high temperature limit stop.
Verify that the handle assembly is between the 3 and 4 o’clock
position.
Rotate back to 6 o’clock position.
Remove the handle assembly and set aside.
NOTE: The spline adapter allows fine adjustment of the handle
alignment.

Thread the two threaded studs into the threaded holes of the
valve.
Place the front plate assembly over the threaded studs.
NOTE: If the front plate assembly does not lay flat on the wall
surface, loosen the nuts and adjust the threaded studs, then tighten
the nuts. The maximum distance between the threaded studs from
the wall is 7/16″(1.11 cm).
Visually inspect the front plate assembly to ensure that the foam
seal is completely covering the wall opening. If not, stop the
installation and repair the wall opening.
Place the escutcheon against the wall. The drain hole in the
escutcheon should face downward in the 6 o’clock position.
Thread the handle assemblies onto the hubs of the front plate
assembly to secure the escutcheon in place. The volume control
handle assembly (top) should be at the 12 o’clock position. The
thermostatic valve handle assembly (bottom) should be at the 6
o’clock position.
