5. Cartridge Installation:
For 4 port control valves:
- Align the tab on the installation sleeve facing up and place it in line with the valve.
- Push the adapter and pressure balance puck out of the installation sleeve into the valve until they bottom.
- Align the two posts on the cartridge to the mating feature in the puck assembly and push the cartridge into the valve until it stops.
- Tighten the cartridge nut onto the valve by turning it clockwise until hand tight, and then turn an additional ¼ turn with a wrench.
For 3 port control valves:
- Push the adapter and pressure balance puck out of the installation sleeve.
- Rotate the adapter 180 degrees and reattach it to the puck.
- Insert the parts into the installation sleeve with the tab on the adapter up, aligning with the tab on the installation sleeve.
- Follow the steps for 8A to install the assembly into the valve.
6. Setting Temperature Limit:
- Use the handle to verify that the cartridge is closed (rotate clockwise to close).
- Turn on the hot and cold water supply and check for leaks.
- Open the handle to full hot to test the hot water temperature. Close the handle if the desired water temperature has been met. The hot water temperature should not exceed 120°F.
- Rotate the lever until the water is at the maximum desired temperature, not exceeding 120°F. Seasonal maintenance of the maximum outlet temperature may be required due to changes in groundwater temperature.
7. Trim Installation:
- Remove the handle.
- Remove the adjustable temperature limit stop.
- Install the adjustable temperature limit stop so it is in contact with the bottom of the stop on the left side of the cartridge.
- Slide the sleeve onto the valve until it stops and orient the markings downward.
