WARNING
Water temperature changes due to seasonal or other inlet variations, such as changing the setting on the hot water heater may require adjustment of the rotational limit stop (13/14/17 Series) or temperature knob (17T Series) on your tub/shower valve to ensure a safe maximum temperature.
These valve series do not automatically adjust for inlet temperature changes. If changes occur and you are not sure how to make the necessary rotational limit stop or temperature knob adjustments, please consult the installation instruction sheet provided with this valve or call 1-800-345-DELTA.
These valve series are designed to minimize the effects of outlet water temperature changes due to inlet pressure changes, commonly caused by dishwashers, washing machines, toilets and the like. They may not provide protection from hot water burns when there is a failure of
other temperature controlling devices elsewhere in the plumbing system. After making the necessary adjustments please fill in the information below. This valve/system has been set by the person listed below to ensure a safe maximum temperature. Any change in the setting may raise the discharge temperature above the limit considered safe and could lead to hot water burns. If this label has not been completed, you should verify that the rotational limit stop or temperature knob has been properly adjusted to suit your individual installation. The installation instruction sheet supplied with the valve provides information on how to make this setting.
AVISO AL INSTALADOR: Coloque esta etiqueta cerca de la válvula donde el propietario la pueda ver, tal como dentro de la puerta del gabinete o el tocador.
AVISO:
de entrada, como el cambio por el ajuste en el calentador de agua, puede requerir el ajuste del tope del límite rotacional (Series 13/14/17) o ajuste de la perilla para el control de la temperatura
(Series 17T) de la válvula de su unidad bañera/regadera para asegurar una temperatura máxima segura. Esta serie de válvulas no se ajusta automáticamente para los cambios de temperatura del agua de entrada. Si cambios ocurren y usted no está seguro como hacer los ajustes necesarios con la perilla para controlar la temperatura, por favor consulte la hoja de instrucciones de instalación proporcionada con esta válvula o llámenos al 1-800-345-DELTA. Las válvulas de esta serie están diseñadas para minimizar los efectos por cambios de temperatura en el agua de entrada por cambios en la presión del agua, comúnmente causados por el uso simultáneo de fregadoras de platos, lavadoras, inodoros y aparatos similares. Estas pueden no proporcionar
protección de quemaduras por el agua caliente cuando hay una falla de otros mecanismos
que controlan la temperatura del agua en otro sitio del sistema de plomería. Después de hacer los ajustes necesarios, por favor escriba la información suministrada a continuación. Esta válvula/sistema ha sido ajustada por la persona indicada a continuación para ayudar a asegurar una temperatura máxima segura. Cualquier cambio al ajuste puede aumentar la temperatura del agua de descarga sobre el límite considerado seguro y puede resultar en quemaduras por agua caliente.

La soupape de cette série est conçue pour limiter la variation de la température de l’eau pouvant résulter des fluctuations de température et de pression dans la tuyauterie d’alimentation. Ces fluctuations sont habituellement causées par une utilisation simultanée du lave-vaisselle, de la machine
à laver, d’un cabinet d’aisances ou d’un autre appareil qui consomme de l’eau. La soupape peut
ne pas protéger l’utilisateur contre l’ébouillantage en cas de défectuosité d’un autre dispositif
de régulation de la température de l’eau situé ailleurs dans la tuyauterie. Après avoir effectué les réglages nécessaires, veuillez inscrire l’information requise ci-dessous. Cet appareil de robinetterie a été réglé par la personne dont le nom figure ci-dessous pour que la température maximale de l’eau soit sans danger. Toute modification du réglage peut occasionner une élévation de la température de l’eau à la sortie du robinet et l’eau qui s’écoulera pourra être suffisamment chaude pour causer l’ébouillantage. Si la présente étiquette n’a pas été remplie, assurez-vous que la butée de température maximale ou le bouton de température a bien été réglé en fonction des caractéristiques de votre installation. La marche à suivre pour faire le réglage figure dans les instructions d’installation fournies avec la soupape.

IMPORTANT: The first position of the
Rotational Limit Stop (the Limiter) is that position that restricts the rotation of the stem the most and is at the maximum clockwise setting. According to industry standards, the maximum allowable temperature of the water exiting from the valve is 120 o F. This temperature may vary in your local area. The Rotational Limit Stop may need to be readjusted if the inlet water temperature changes. For instance, during the winter, the cold water temperature is colder than it is during the summer which could result in varying outlet temperatures.
Typical temperature for a comfortable bath or shower is between 90 o –110 o F.

Potential scald or thermal shock injury could result due to cross flow if outlet at the shower is blocked or restricted (e.g., pause control on showerhead). Be sure to point showerhead away from you when re-starting flow or install inlet check valves on both supply lines to prevent possible injury.

See Helpful Hints 1, 2, 3 & 4.
Helpful Hints:
1. Before removing valve cartridge assembly for any maintenance, be sure to note the position of the rotational limit stop on the cap. The valve cartridge assembly must always be put back in the same position. BE SAFE! After you have finished the installation, turn on valve to make sure COLD
WATER FLOWS FIRST.
2. To remove valve cartridge from body, shut off water supplies and remove handle and bonnet nut.
Do not pry the valve cartridge out of the body with a screwdriver. Place handle on stem and rotate counterclockwise approximately 1/4 turn after the stop has been contacted. Lift valve cartridge out of body.
Remove seats and springs and replace.
Place the largest diameter of the spring into the seat pocket first and then press the tapered end of the seal over the spring. Reassemble valve cartridge and replace in body following instructions given in 1 above.
3. If the water in your area has lime, rust, sand or other contaminants in it, your pressure balance valve will require periodic inspection.
The frequency of the inspection will depend on the amount of contaminants in the water. To inspect valve cartridge remove it and follow the steps in note 1 above. Turn the valve to the full mix position and shake the cartridge vigorously.
If there is a rattling sound, the unit is functional and can be reinstalled following instructions given in note 1 above. If there is no rattle, replace the housing assembly with the proper RP.
