on volume handle and rotate to the mixed
position (if required). DO NOT SECURE
WITH SCREW. Turn on water supplies;
let the water run until both hot and cold
water is as hot/cold as possible. Place
thermometer in a plastic tumbler, and hold

If the water temperature is above 120°F,
remove the temperature control knob (1)
and rotate the limit stop (2) clockwise one
tooth for every 4°F - 6°F (approximate)
change in temperature. If water temperature
is cooler than desired, rotate the limit stop
counterclockwise.
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
o
valve is 120
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
