INSTALLATION, ADJUSTMENT, & SERVICE
Serial No. PG2800 and higher
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Determine what type of installation will be utilized.
a. standard installation with plasterguard/mounting bracket.
b. thin wall installation with mounting bracket.
c. valve only installation with plasterguard (service stops
or check stops are recommended).
2. Install hot to the left inlet and cold to the right inlet (see H and C
marks on valve body).
3. Thread sealant, or solder flux must be used sparingly. After
installation, flush pipes thoroughly (remove internal parts if
necessary), to eliminate debris that may become lodged on the
working parts of the valve.
4. Shower only applications require the bottom outlet to be plugged,
tub only applications require the top outlet to be plugged. A tub
diverter is required for tub/shower combinations.
5. Apply foam pointer gasket to wall flange. Mount wall flange to the
valve body with the vandal proof wall flange screws provided.
6. We recommend to seal the flange to the wall with silicone to
prevent water from penetrating the wall.
7. Check high temperature limit stop (see instructions, page 2).
8. Attach the knob to the valve stem using the vandal proof pointer
screw and washer. Turn knob clockwise to “OFF” on the dial
plate.

OPERATION
The AQUATROL® is a pressure-actuated water-mixing valve,
which will compensate for changes in the pressure of hot and cold
supplies and maintain bathing temperatures. The easy to read dial
with directional indicators help to eliminate confusion as to where
the handle should be located for a particular temperature. Turn the
handle counter-clockwise from the “OFF” position through the
BLUE (or COLD) area on the dial plate, the shower is on and the
temperature is cold. As the handle enters the lighter RED area,
shower temperature becomes progressively WARMER until the
high temperature limit is reached in the full RED (or HOT)
position. To turn OFF, move handle back in clockwise direction to
the “OFF” position.
!!! WARNING !!!
THIS VALVE IS EQUIPPED WITH AN ADJUSTABLE HIGH TEMPERATURE LIMIT STOP FACTORY
SET AT APPROXIMATELY 110°F (43°C) WITH AN INCOMING HOT WATER SUPPLY
TEMPERATURE OF 135°F. THE VALVE WHEN TURNED TO FULL HOT MAY DELIVER WATER IN
EXCESS OF 110°F, AND THE HIGH TEMPERATURE LIMIT STOP MUST BE RESET BY THE
INSTALLER, (SEE BELOW).
1016
REMEMBER!! THIS IS A CONTROL DEVICE WHICH MUST BE CLEANED AND MAINTAINED ON A
REGULAR BASIS (SEE MAINTENANCE GUIDE AND RECORD MGR-1000).

SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove knob (5455) and wall flange (6111) (See DWG 1).
2. Turn off hot and cold supplies using checkstops.
3. Temporarily place escutcheon pointer on spline and turn
LEFT to maximum “HOT” position. Unscrew cover and
remove complete interior assembly (See DWG 4).
4. If the valve will not shut off (ie. It drips), replace PV-8-1
upper packing, PV-2 lower packing, and inspect upper and
lower valve seats in PV-3 sleeve (DWG 5).
5. If the valve will not mix properly, piston in PV-CR-2 control
rod group may be sticking due to some deposit of foreign
matter (DWG 5). To free piston,
a. Tap either end of control rod against a wooden
surface or hit with a plastic mallet.
b. Remove PV-2 packing and screw and tap piston
loose with a small drift pin.
c. Submerge lower end of PV-CR-2 control rod
group in a non-corrosive cleaning solution and
flush with clean water.
NOTE: Before reinserting assembly in valve (with cover gasket)
make sure escutcheon pointer has been turned LEFT to the
maximum RED (“HOT”) position.
TO RESET HIGH TEMPERATURE LIMIT
STOP (DWG 2.):
1. Remove knob (5455). Loosen 1355 stop screw, until it is flush with cover.
2. Replace pointer and turn to left or right until the valve is delivering the highest
temperature of 110°F (43°C) or LOWER and remove pointer.
3. Tighten 1355 Stop Screw.
4. Reinstall knob counter clockwise pointing to the extreme RED (“HOT”)
position, shut valve off.
IMPORTANT! TEST THE NEW HIGH
TEMPERATURE SETTING USING A DIAL
THERMOMETER TO MAKE CERTAIN IT IS AS
DESIRED. HOT WATER IN EXCESS OF 110°F IS
DANGEROUS AND MAY CAUSE SCALDING!!.
