By restricting handle rotation and limiting the amount of hot
water allowed to mix with the cold, the HOT LIMIT SAFETY
STOP reduces risk of accidental scalding. To set the maximum
hot water temperature of your SEVA faucets, all you need
to do adjust the setting on the HOT LIMIT SAFETY STOP.
Remove HANDLE, CAP and HOT LIMIT STOP. Follow "A" or "B"
to adjust maximum discharge temperature.

ROUGHING-IN
Connect hot and cold water supplies.
For support, use pipe BRACES secured to wooden braces.
With valve turned off, turn on water supplies and check for leaks.
See Roughing-in diagram on reverse side.
Connect RISER PIPE to MANIFOLD top outlet marked "SHR".
Connect TUB FILLER PIPE at bottom outlet marked "TUB".
Supply connections are:
1/2" copper sweat for sweat inlets.
1/2" female NPT for threaded inlets.
For proper positioning the finished wall must be within side wall of PLASTER GUARD.
If the valve is installed on a fiberglass or other thin wall application, the PLASTER GUARD can
be used as a support:
Cut a 3" dia. hole in the shower stall.
If stops are used drill two additional 1" holes to allow access to the stops.
Remove PLASTER GUARD, rotate 180˚ so that indicated screw holes fit manifold.
Push CAP on valve, place ESCUTCHEON and attach with screws.
