Troubleshooting (continued)
NOTE: Refer to the Service Parts section in this manual
for a detailed drawing showing the location of the parts
listed below.
Problem
There is leaking or dripping
from the spout when the
handle is closed.
Water comes out of the
tub spout and showerhead
at the same time.
The temperature range is
restricted.
The handle cannot be
installed or the handle rubs
against the escutcheon.
The handle is hard to turn. The bonnet nut is too tight.
The shower head is
damaged when installing.
Possible Cause
□
The cartridge is not properly installed.
□
The sealed washer on the cartridge is
not in place.
□
The bonnet nut is not tightened
sufficiently.
If the pattern of the water flow switches to
the shower from the tub spout, and the leak
from the tub spout is less than 0.01 GPM,
this is a normal occurrence. If there is
residual water on the shower head when
the water from the shower head is turned
off, this is a normal occurrence. Or consider
the causes below:
! The pipe used between the valve and the
tub spout is not 1/2 in. IPS, or the COPPER
pipe is incorrect.
! The distance between the valve and the
showerhead is less than 48 in..
! There is a restriction between the valve
and the tub spout.
! The valve is installed upside down.
! The knob on the spout is not pulled up
fully.
The position of the temperature limit stop
is out of ideal range.
The valve is installed too far back from the
finished wall.
The shower head is twisted too tightly.
