Installation Instructions

Rough-in Installation

Control valve assembly, piping

and fittings (Note: Illustrations below show valve model without stops)

Reference as required: Page

Visual guide ....................................1

Dimensions illustration ................4

3) Attach protective shield

■ Reference figure 2 to determine whether shield is required.

■ Attach protective shield by snap fitting over end of valve spindle.

1) Determine wall thickness

■ Determine type of wall and wall thickness where valve will be mounted.

■ Consider whether to use mounting plate by reviewing figure 2 below.

■ Skip ahead to Step 3 if mounting plate is not used.

2) Attach valve mounting plate

Seat mounting plate against valve assembly as illustrated in figure 1.

Figure 1 Mounting plate

4) Install piping, fittings and control valve

Piping and fittings not supplied

■ Control Valve

Install through cutout hole in wall as specified in figure 2 below and dimension illustration on page 4.

■ Showerhead (S on valve)

Pipe from outlet port on valve marked S to showerhead mounting arm location.

■ Hot & Cold Supply (H & C)

Pipe hot water supply to valve inlet marked H and cold water supply to valve inlet marked C .

■ Tub Spout (T on valve)

Pipe from outlet port on valve marked T to tub spout.

Important!

Do not substitute Tub Spout with

PEX restrictive fittings such as

, CPVC or outlet accessories such as a ledge spout, hose and spray that would subject the valve to excessive internal back pressure, otherwise operation will be compromised.

5) Remove protective shield

If protective shield was attached in Step 3 then remove shield snap fitted over the end of valve spindle once valve is securely installed and wall finish work has been completed.

6) Adjust valve packing nut

Reference figure 3 below

■ Turn hot & cold supplies on.

Valve will not operate unless both hot and cold water supply pressures are turned on.

■ Place handle over end of control

spindle stem.

■ Adjust packing nut for positive frictional resistance as handle is rotated from shutoff position across adjustment range.

7) Flush system, check for leaks

■ Turn valve to the warm position and run for a few minutes.

■ If system is dirty, remove valve spindle in center of valve to ensure proper flushing. (See service instructions.)

■ Check for leaks around valve assembly and all pipe fittings.

2) Attach escutcheon

8) Set Temp Limit stop screw

Reference page 2, figure 3

The temperature limit stop screw limits valve handle from being turned to maximum position resulting in excessive hot water discharge temperatures.

Warning: Failure to adjust Temp Limit stop

screw properly may result in serious scalding.

■ Place handle on control spindle

stem and open valve to maximum desired temperature.

■ Turn Temp Limit stop screw clockwise until it seats.

Note: Do not install positive shutoff devices on control valve outlet or devices that do not allow the valve to flow at least 1.5 gpm.

Trouble Shooting Chart

Problem

Valve will not pass water.

Cause

Both hot and cold water supplies are not turned on.

Valve leaks when shut off.

Temperature control handle is turned from cold to hot (or hot back to cold) and volume from spout or head is not constant.

Hot and cold washers are worn or foreign matter (dirt, chips) is lodged between washers and seat surfaces.

Pressure-balancing piston housed in spindle assembly is restricted from free movement by foreign matter.

Same as above

Solution

Turn on both supplies. Valve will not operate unless both hot and cold water pressure is on.

1) Replace washers using control spindle

washer repair kit, p/n TA-9.

2) Replace hot & cold seats using hot/cold

seat repair kit, p/n TA-4.

1) Open valve halfway, remove handle and tap spindle with plastic hammer.

2) Check water pressure balancing piston in

control spindle. See service instructions.

3) Replace control spindle, p/n TA-10.

Same as above Valve delivers sufficient quantity of cold, but little hot, or the reverse.

Temperature varies without moving handle.

Valve delivery temperature reduces gradually during use; handle must be turned to hotter positions to maintain constant temperature.

Valve delivers hot water when initially opened. Water turns colder as handle is rotated in a counter-clockwise direction toward the hot position.

Same as above

Overdraw on hot water supply

(i.e. running out of hot water).

Valve is piped incorrectly (i.e. the hot supply is piped to the valve’s cold inlet and the cold supply is piped to the hot inlet.)

Same as above

Reduce maximum flow by using volume control adjustment on valve or showerhead.

This will allow longer period of use before overdrawing hot water supply.

If piping is accessible, correct connections to the valve. If piping is not accessible, order a reverse seat and tool kit, p/n T-108. Older installations may also require replacing the hot seat, hot/cold seat repair kit, p/n TA-4.

Service Instructions

Removing control spindle assembly

(Ref. parts assembly figure)

■Shut off water supply to valve and remove control valve handle and dome cover.

■Remove escutcheon plate by first removing escutcheon screws.

■Turn valve’s control spindle to half way position between minimum and maximum rotation.

Important: Failure to do this can damage

control spindle assembly.

■Replace both seats even if only one appears worn.

■Install and tighten both seats to

15 foot pounds of torque.

Control spindle washer repair kit

Order p/n TA-9.

■Remove control spindle assembly .

■Remove cold washer by holding spindle using valve handle and unscrew cold washer retainer using channel lock pliers.

■Remove hot washer by removing

hot washer screw.

■If unable to free piston, replace

■If piston appears restricted then do the following:

(1) Tap the handle or stem end of the spindle against a solid object to free the piston.

(2) Try soaking in household vinegar and repeat step (1).

control spindle , p/n TA-10.

Important: Do not attempt removal of the piston.

■Unscrew both spindle cap control spindle assembly.

and

Hot/Cold seat repair kit

Order p/n TA-4, T-35A and T-35B.

Installation requires both hot & cold removal tools, p/n T-35A & T-35B .

■Remove control spindle assembly.

■Remove both seats with removal tools.

Checking water pressure balancing piston

The perforated end of the control

spindle assembly houses the water pressure-balancing piston which is the heart of the valve.

■Remove control spindle assembly.

■Shake spindle assembly and listen for clicking noise. Piston should be free to slide back and forth the full length of its travel.

Valve re-assembly

Reassemble by reversing above procedures.

After the control spindle assembly

(TA-10) is threaded back into the spindle cap assembly (T-12A) ensure control spindle is rotated 1/2 turn clockwise from its maximum counter clockwise rotational position. Failure to do this will damage assembly.
