n Connect TUB FILLER PIPE (3) to bottom outlet.
n Install PLASTER GUARD (8) back onto the valve. Only remove PLASTER GUARD (8) when ready to install trim Kit.
n Finished wall should allow for a 4" diameter opening (Use PLASTER GUARD for guidance)
n Screw driver stops are primarly used to shut water off. To shut “HOT” or “COLD” water using a at head screw driver,
turn the head of the screw vertically. And to turn the water back on, turn the screw horizontally.
CAUTION: After valve installation, inspect the VALVE BODY for any debris. It can damage Pressure Balance

n Valve comes with Flush Plug that allows hot and cold supply lines to be ushed independently (without cross ow).
n Flush plug is shipped in Orientation A.
– ORIENTATION A directs cold water through the shower port and hot water through the tub port.
n Flush plug can be reversed to Orientation B.
– ORIENTATION B directs cold water through the tub port and hot water through the shower port.
n For shower only installation ush cold supply line rst in Orientation A. Then reverse to Orientation B and ush
hot supply line. Alternatively, the ush plug can be removed entirely to ush water through the valve body.
n To switch between orientations follow these steps:
– Unthread BONNET NUT (1).
– Rotate FLUSH PLUG (2) 90 degrees to desired orientation.
– Rethread BONNET NUT (1).
