INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT
Mounting must comply with all local codes.
NOTE TO INSTALLER: This product should be installed by a qualified
individual, in accordance with local codes and ordinances. It is the
responsibility of the installer to properly select, install and adjust these
devices as specified in these instructions. For installations which require
compliance with Building/Mechanical/Plumbing Codes, the appropriate
AM-1 Series™ valve must be chosen and installed, and the discharge
temperature set and locked according to these instructions. AM-1 Series
models with the following temperature ranges, 80° F - 120° F
(27° C - 49° C) and 100° F - 145° F (38° C - 63° C) are ASSE
(point of source application) certified, and CSA
These models shall be used to supply water to tubs, showers, bathing
facilities and other outlets. These valves should be installed where they
will be accessible for cleaning, servicing or adjustment.

ASSE 1017 Applications
These AM-1 Series models can be installed in any position consistent
with the intended use. For domestic hot water supply, the valve must be
installed as shown in Fig. 1. There shall be no shut-off valves installed
between the cold water line and the cold water connection on the AM-1
Series valve. Check valves shall be installed as indicated. A cold water
service valve may be installed, as indicated, between the cold water
supply line to the distribution system and the cold water line supplying
both the water heater and the AM-1 Series valve.

Installation of Union Sweat, CPVC and PEX Connections
—
Union sweat connections, if used, should be soldered prior to
assembly to the valve, or without the sealing gasket or optional
check valve present. After the joint has cooled, the sealing
gasket and/or check valves may be installed.
—
CPVC fittings are limited to a system maximum temperature of
180° F (82° C) and 100 psi (689 kPa). Use brass inserts with
o-rings and rubber gaskets for CPVC installations.

PEX fitting designed for ASTM
Temperature Setting ASSE Certified Models
Set the handwheel to desired temperature position per Table 1. Table 1
is based on 60° F (15.5° C) cold water. For other cold water
temperatures, correct mixed temperature by 1° F (0.56° C) for every 10°
F (5.56° C) deviation from 60° F (15.5° C), up or down.

1.
Turn handwheel to selected temperature setting lining up with
arrow on valve body.
2.
Pierce center circle of nameplate with screwdriver and unscrew
slotted screw. Remove handwheel (Fig. 1).
3.
To limit the high temperature range at a set maximum (less than
pos. 1 to pos. 4): Place arrow on handwheel as closely as
possible to the left of the L-slot bracket (Facing arrow).
