Install the Support Framing (cont.)
IMPORTANT! Make sure the valve is mounted at the correct depth
so it will be properly positioned when the finished wall is installed.
Determine the desired location for the valve according to the
rough-in information, and construct suitable stud and support
framing for your configuration and valve.
If the finished wall is drywall, 1/2" (1.3 cm) drywall or thicker
should be used or the finished wall will not be strong enough.
Determine the finished wall thickness. The outside edge of the
plaster guard is used to determine the maximum thickness of the
finished wall. The valve can be mounted with the plaster guard
flush with the finished wall for the thickest possible wall
thickness. If the plaster guard is recessed, the finished wall is too
thick. Refer to the diagram above.
Install water hammer arrestors in the hot and cold water supply
lines.
Go to the section, "Bath Only Valve Installation," "Shower Only
Valve Installation," or "Bath and Shower Valve Installation," that
matches the configuration of your installation.
