Adjusting the Rotational Limit Stop / Réglage de la butée anti-échaudage /
El Ajuste del Tope que Limita la Rotación
IMPORTANT
The Rotational Limit Stop is used to limit the amount of
hot water available such that, if set properly, the user will
not be scalded if the handle accidentally is rotated all the
way to "hot" when a person is showering or filling a tub.
The first position allows the LEAST amount of hot water to
mix with the cold water in the system. In the first position,
the water will be the coldest possible when the handle is
turned on all the way to hot. As you move the Rotational
Limit Stop counter-clockwise, you progressively add more
and more hot water in the mix. The last position to the left
will result in the greatest amount of hot water to the mix,
and the greatest risk of scald injury if someone acciden-
tally turns the valve handle all the way to the hot side while
showering or filling a tub.
WARNING: In some instances, setting the Rotational
Limit Stop in the hottest position (full counter-
clockwise) could result in scald injury. It is necessary
to adjust the Rotational Limit Stop so that the water
coming out of the valve will not scald the user when
the handle of the valve is rotated to the hot side.
According the majority of industry standards, the
maximum allowable temperature of the water exiting the
valve is 120°F (your local plumbing codes may require a
water temperature less than 120°F).
The Rotational Limit Stop may need to be readjusted
seasonally if the inlet water temperature changes. For
example, during the winter, the cold water temperature is
colder that it is during the summer which could result in
varying outlet temperatures. A water temperature for a
comfortable bath or shower is typically between 90°F -
110°F.

in the water stream. If the water temperature is
above 120°F, the Rotational Limit Stop must be
repositioned clockwise to decrease valve outlet
water temperature to be less than 120°F or to meet
the requirements of your local plumbing codes.
To adjust the temperature of the water coming out
of the valve, remove the Rotational Limit Stop and
readjust the teeth engagement position to the
desired temperature. Clockwise will decrease the
outlet temperature, counter-clockwise will increase
the outlet temperature. Temperature change per
tooth (notch) could be 4°-16°F based on inlet water
conditions. Repeat as necessary. Push disc until
fully seated.
WARNING: Failure to re-install Disc after setting
Rotational Limit Stop could result in scald injury.
