C. DIVERTER CONFIGURATION FOR
DECK-MOUNT INSTALLATIONS
For soldering and maintenance access to the diverter
components, the cartridge must be removed. The torque
necessary to remove this cartridge may twist a long span
of unsupported pipe. The diverter must be secured by
hand via an access panel or by permanent blocking.
Verify location of components and orientation of ports.
The opposing pair of larger 1/2" nominal ports are the
interchangeable hot and cold ports. The remaining large
port is the outlet for an optional bath spout. Default flow
is through this large outlet. The small port is for the
supplied hand shower hose.
D. DIVERTER CONFIGURATION FOR
WALL-MOUNT INSTALLATIONS
For soldering and maintenance access to the diverter
components, the cartridge must be removed. The torque
necessary to remove this cartridge may twist a long span
of unsupported pipe. The diverter must be secured by
hand via an access panel or by permanent blocking.
Verify location of components and orientation of ports.
One of the 1/2" nominal ports must be capped off. The
other 1/2" port is the inlet for the mixed water from the
mixer valve. The remaining large port is the outlet for the
showerhead. Default flow is through this large outlet. The
small port is for the supplied hand shower hose.
E. PIPING CONSIDERATIONS
Decide in advance on the location and orientation of the
diverter. The location of the shower and hand shower, and
the direction in which the inlets/outlets point, will affect the
piping and connectors needed.
IMPORTANT: If you install this diverter valve to the
shower port of a mixer, you will obtain reduced, and
potentially unsatisfactory, water flow performance.
Allow clearance for valve outlets, handles, and hand
shower hoses. For use with optional spout, also allow
clearance for spout connection.
When used with a hand shower, the distance between the
diverter and the heavy-duty hose connection can be
extended with piping below the rim, but may not be safe
or practical. A long run of piping will mean a long run of
room-temperature standing water when the hand shower
is first activated for use.
Long runs of piping should be secured to the stud framing.
If piping cannot be secured at a point near the diverter,
secure the diverter with blocking lumber or an angle
bracket.
