FILTER SCREEN REMOVAL AND CLEANING
The valve has filter screens that prevent debris from obstructing the pressure balancing cartridge.
If excessive in-line debris accumulates in the filter screen, you will notice a decrease in flow from the valve.
PLEASE NOTE - SHUT OFF BOTH HOT AND COLD WATER SUPPLIES BEFORE SERVICING VALVE.
- The filter screen is attached to an insert that is fitted into the valve body inlets.
With the cartridge removed, the 2 inserts and filter screens can be easily removed from the valve body.
- Remove the insert by pressing the top corner. This will rotate the insert allowing easy removal.
- There is a place on either side of the filter insert where you can get your finger nail underneath the filter screen.
By pulling the filter screen away from the insert, it will "pop out".
- All debris can be now be easily removed from the filter screen.
Replace the filter screen into the insert and push together gently until it clicks into place.
- Place the insert back into the valve body, making sure the angled edge of the insert faces out.
