6. Install the Valve
NOTICE: Do not apply excessive heat near the valve or apply flux or acids directly onto the valve. This
valve contains plastic and rubber components which will melt if heat is directly applied.
NOTICE: Do not use oil-based, non-setting compounds, such as plumbers putty, on the threaded
connections.
IMPORTANT! If your water supply has high amounts of particulates, install wye strainers in the supply
lines.
Route the 1/2" dedicated water supply lines. To allow access to the inlet screens for periodic
cleaning, install a removable segment of piping to the valve inlets using unions.
Install supply shut-off valves and water hammer arrestors in the supply lines prior to the valve.
Hold the valve up to the installation location and verify fit.
Mark the hole locations.
Predrill the holes.
Secure the valve with the washers and screws. Do not overtighten.
IMPORTANT! Make sure the components are connected to the corresponding numbered outlet(s) on the
valve.
Route the piping from the valve outlets to the appropriate shower components based on your
chosen configuration.
Connect the supply lines to the valve inlets. Verify that the hot and cold supplies are connected to
the appropriate inlets. Hot is red and marked by an "H," cold is blue and marked by a "C."
Secure all piping to the framing.
