Installation Considerations
• For best results, Hansgrohe recommends that
this unit be installed by a licensed, professional
plumber.
• Please read over these instructions thoroughly
before beginning installation. Make sure that you
have all tools and supplies needed to complete the
installation.
• Do not remove the plastic installation box from the
valve.
• The cartridge is included with the trim kit. The car-
tridge will vary, according to the type of trim kit.
• The cartridge has an integrated high temperature
limit stop which may be reset to comply with local
plumbing codes.
• To prevent scald injury, the maximum output
temperature of the shower valve must be no higher
than 120°F. In Massachusetts the maximum
output temperature of the shower valve can be no
higher than 112°F.
Important
The outside surface of the finished
wall must fall between the "min" and
"max" markings on the iBox.
Important
For correct operation of the thermo-
static mixer valve, the hot supply
must be plumbed to the hot (left
horizontal) inlet, and the cold supply
must be plumbed to the cold (right
horizontal) inlet.
• Some municipalities do not permit installations
that allow the use of two or more shower functions
simultaneously. Please know and follow all ap-
plicable local plumbing codes.
Know in advance what type of trim
kit is to be used. Installation require-
ments vary. Additional valve(s) may
be required. Please refer to the fol-
lowing page.
For correct function of the valve, the
hot supply must be plumbed to the
hot inlet (left horizontal side) and the
cold supply must be plumbed to the
cold inlet (right horizontal side).
• The connections on the valve are ¾ NPT. ½ NPT
lines may be used if suitable for the installation.
The installer must provide ¾ - ½ adapters.
• Protect the rough from freeze damage. In the
event of freezing temperatures, drain the pipes.
