American Standard R711 Installation guide

  • Hello! I've reviewed the installation instructions for the American Standard R711 in-wall on/off volume control valve. This document details the necessary steps for proper installation, including securing the valve, testing for leaks, and maintaining the cartridge. I'm ready to answer any questions you might have about the valve or the installation process.
  • What tools are recommended for installing the valve?
    What should I do before starting the installation?
    How do I change the direction of handle rotation?
    What should I do if the valve drips?
