Installing the valve body
□
A. Thin Wall Installation
"Thin Walls" are usually built with materials such
as berglass which will not support the valve.
Please keep the plaster guard (L) attached to the
valve as it will be your main source of support.
□
B. Thick Wall Installation
"Thick Walls" are usually built up with materials such
as cement board, drywall, tile, etc. The plaster guard
(L) is positioned so that it is ush with the nished
wall. This ensures that the valve will be at the correct
position to accept the trim. The depth for the valve
body (D) in wall is measured from the center of the
shower outlet to the nished wall surface. The
accepted depth distance is 1-1/2 in. to 2-1/2 in.. When
the depth distance is 1-1/2 in. to 2 in., there will be
interference between the plaster guard (L) and
escutcheon (E). It is recommended that you remove
the plaster guard (L) after the wall installation.
NOTE: Be sure to position the valve body (D) correctly in
the wall, with the side marked "UP" facing upward.
