8. Install the Valve
NOTICE: Do not apply excessive heat near the valve or apply flux or acids directly onto the valve. This
valve contains plastic and rubber components which will melt if heat is directly applied.
NOTICE: Do not use oil-based, non-setting compounds, such as plumbers putty, on the threaded
connections. Use sealant tape or liquid sealant on threaded inlet and outlet connections.
IMPORTANT! If your water supply has high amounts of particulates, install wye strainers in the supply
lines.
Route the water supply lines. Use unions to install removable pipe segments to the valve inlets to
allow access for periodic cleaning of the inlet screens.
Install shut-off valves and water hammer arrestors in the supply lines prior to the valve.
Hold the valve up to the installation location. Verify fit and mark the hole locations.
Pre-drill the holes.
Secure the valve with the washers and screws. Do not overtighten.
IMPORTANT! Make sure the shower fittings are connected to the corresponding numbered outlet(s) on
the valve for your configuration. Refer to the "Shower Configurations" section.
Route the piping from the valve outlets to the appropriate shower fitting.
If utilizing a custom configuration, plug any unused outlets.
Connect the hot and cold supply lines to the appropriate valve inlets. Hot is red and marked with
an "H," cold is blue and marked with a "C."
Secure all piping to the framing.
