IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE FOR THE
CONSUMER
WARNING: Risk of scalding or other severe injury.
•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.
•Do not install a shut-off device on either outlet of this valve. The
installation of any such device may create a cross-flow condition
at the valve and affect the water temperature.
•Factors that change the temperature of the water supplied to the
valve, such as seasonal water temperature changes, and water
heater replacement or servicing, will change the maximum water
temperature supplied by the valve and may create a scalding
hazard.
•The pressure-balanced valve will not compensate for changes in
the water supply temperature; adjust the maximum water
temperature setting of this pressure-balanced valve when such
changes occur.
•Pressure-balanced valves may not provide protection against
scalding if there is a failure of other temperature-limiting devices
elsewhere in the plumbing system.
The installer is responsible for installing the valve and 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 installation or 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 TO INSTALLERS! Please fill in the blanks in
the information box in the Homeowners Guide and on the valve label.
Retain the Homeowners Guide for future reference.

3. Water Temperature Adjustment
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury. The water temperature
should never be set above 120° F (49° C).
NOTE: Do not remove the O-ring and collar at this time. Removing
the O-ring and collar will change the factory setting for the
maximum water temperature.
Turn the valve clockwise to the full open position and let the hot
water run for several minutes. Position a thermometer in the
water stream and check the temperature.
For minor water temperature changes, adjust the setscrew, and
recheck the water temperature.
For major water temperature changes, remove the O-ring and
collar from the valve stem. Slowly rotate the valve stem until the
desired maximum water temperature is reached.
Reinstall the collar on the valve stem with the setscrew against
the side of the tab.
Reinstall the O-ring, rotate the valve stem counterclockwise to
shut the water off.
Recheck the water temperature.

minimum les risques de brûlures, ceci conformément à la norme
ASTM F 444.
•Ne pas installer un dispositif d’arrêt sur les sorties de cette valve.
L’installation d’un tel dispositif peut créer une condition de débit
croisé au régulateur et modifier la température de l’eau.
•Les facteurs qui changent la température de l’eau fournie à cette
valve, tels que les changements de température d’eau saisonniers,
et le remplacement ou l’entretien du chauffeau, changeront la
température maximale de l’eau fournie par le régulateur et
pourront présenter un danger de brûlures.
•La valve à pression équilibréene compensera pas les changements
de température d’alimentation d’eau; ajuster la température
maximale de cette valve à pression équilibrée si de tels
changements se produisent.
•Les valves à pression équilibrée peuvent ne pas assurer une
protection contre les brûlures en cas de défaillance d’autres
dispositifs de limitation de température installés ailleurs sur le
réseau de plomberie.
L’installateur est responsable de l’installation de la valve et du
réglage de la température maximale de cette valve selon les
instructions.
Cette valve satisfait ou excède les exigences des normes ANSI
A112.18.1M et ASSE 1016.
