Installation
2. Connect the valve to the plumbing with proper ttings. Perform a dry t before soldering pipes to the
valve. (Fig. C)
WARNING: Exposure to high temperature will damage the cartridge (9) and stop valves (7, 8). Remove
these parts before soldering.
3. After the pipes are soldered, install the stop valves (7, 8), cartridge (9), stem (11), and threaded nipple
(12) back onto the valve body. NOTE: Make sure the cartridge is installed in the upright position. The
“UP” marking on the cartridge should point upward. (Fig. C1)
4. Pressure test and ush the valve. NOTE: Pressure must be approximately equal on both hot and cold
side for the valve to function properly. (Fig. D)
• Install a 1/2” iron pipe plug (not included) on the shower outlet.
• Turn the valve to ON position and check all connections for leaks for about a minute.
• Turn the valve to OFF position after pressure test and remove the 1/2” plug. Make sure the pipes are
free of debris or sediments

1. Position valve body in the wall. It is recommended the valve to be about 48” above the nished oor
and shower outlet to be about 30” above the valve (Fig. A1) The nished wall should be set between the
markers on the temporary protective cover. The recommended depth is 2 11/16” to 3 7/16”. (Fig. A) Make
sure the UP outlet is pointed upward. (Fig. B)
NOTE: Valve access hole on the wall should be 6” in diameter and outlet hole for shower arm is about
1 1/4” in diameter.

6. Remove the handle and the escutcheon plate and
set them aside. Remove the threaded nipple (12) and
the stem extension (11) from the valve body. Use a
hacksaw to trim the threaded nipple (12) and valve
stem extension (11) based on the measurement taken
in gure E1 as shown in gure F. (NOTE: Do not trim
the stem extension (11) and threaded nipple (12)
directly on the cartridge because it will damage the
cartridge.
Trim the pieces separately, do not trim both parts at
the same time. It is best to cut o only small amount
of the brass stem and test t the handle.)
7. Figure G. Re-install the threaded nipple (12) and
stem extension (11) assembly to the valve body.
Carefully slide the escutcheon plate onto the valve and
attach the handle assembly.
8. Slide the ange onto the shower arm and apply
PTFE tape to both ends of the shower arm. Attach
the shower arm to the pipe and slide the ange onto
the wall. Attach the shower head as shown in Fig. H.
(NOTE: Do not over tighten the connections.)
9. Turn on the water and check for leaks at all
connections. The installation is now complete.
5. Remove and discard the protective sleeve (15) and cover (13) from the valve. Slide the escutcheon
onto the valve as shown in Fig. E. Place the handle assembly on the stem extension and turn the handle
clockwise to install the handle. If there is a gap when the handle is attached to the valve measure and
write down the distance of the gap between the handle and the escutcheon plate as shown in Fig. E1.

Operation
Troubleshooting
COLD (blue)
HOT (red)
1. Turn the handle counter-clockwise from the OFF
position to the BLUE dot (cold water) to start the water
ow. Continue turning the handle to the RED dot (hot
water) to reach the hot water temperature.
(CAUTION: Scalding may occur if the control is set to maximum
temperature.) It is strongly recommended to set the handle halfway
between the BLUE and RED dots as the starting point. Gradually turn
the handle to set the desired water temperature.
2. To turn o the water, return the handle to the OFF
position.
Problem
Shower valve produces loud humming / vibrating noise when water is running
Possible Cause
1. Debris or sediment inside the cartridge, valve body, or plumbing system
2. One or both the plungers inside the stop valves may have shifted (mis-aligned) during transport
Solution: Clean Out Debris and Reset the Plungers
1. Shut o water to the valve
2. Remove Handle and Escutcheon
3. Remove the Threaded Nipple, Stem Extension, and Cartridge Nut and pull out the Cartridge
4. Clean and make sure the Cartridge is free of debris and sediments
5. Remove both Stop valves with an adjustable wrench. (CAUTION: Be careful removing the Plungers
and the tiny Springs when removing the Stop Valves. See Fig. 1)
6. Clean out any remaining debris or sediments inside the valve body
7. Re-install the Stop Valves Assemblies (including the Plungers and Springs) and use a large at head
screwdriver, turn both screws on the stop valves clockwise to close the stop valves completely. Once
the valves are closed, turn the screws counterclockwise to open both valves again. Make sure to fully
open the valves for maximum water ow. This step will reset the Stop Valves. (See Fig. 2)
8. Re-install the Cartridge and assemble the parts
9. Turn of water to the valve and test the unit to complete the service

Maintenance Guide
Please follow the cleaning material manufacturer’s instructions. Damage caused by improper
treatment will not be covered by product warranty. In addition, pay attention to the following points:
• Regular cleaning can prevent mineral build up on faucet spout.
• Carefully read the cleaner product label to ensure the cleaner is safe for use on the material.
• Test the cleaner on a small area before using on the entire surface.
• Use a mild detergent such as liquid dishwashing soap and warm water for cleaning.
• Do not use abrasive / harsh chemical when cleaning the  xture as they will damage and dull the
 nish.
• When using spray cleaners, spray  rst onto a soft cloth or sponge. Never spray directly onto the
faucet as droplets can enter openings and gaps and cause damage.
• After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove any cleaner residue.
Service the Valve and Pressure Balance Cartridge
NOTE: To maintain the performance of the shower valve. It is recommended to clean the pressure
balance cartridge at least once a year. More frequent cleaning is needed if the water has high mineral
content.
1. Remove shower trims (#16, #17, #18)
2. Turn o water supply at the stop valves (#7 and #8) by using a large at head screwdriver and turn
the valve clockwise to shut o the water.
3. Remove the threaded nipple (#12), stem extension (#11), and cartridge nut (#10) and pull out the
cartridge (#9) with a pair of pliers.
4. Use commercially available hard water scale remover to clean the valve. Dilute the solution as
instructed on the cleaner. Soak the valve for about 5 minutes in the solution and clean it with a soft
brush. Thoroughly wash o any cleaning solution and debris on the cartridge.
5. After cleaning, follow the above steps in reverse order to assemble the valve.
