Use PEX connections with ASTM F1807 compliant copper crimp rings and ASTM F887 compliant PEX tubing.
Use PEX connections with ASTM F1960 compliant cold expansion retaining rings and ASTM F887 compliant PEX Tubing.
WARNING: In keeping with standard plumbing practices it is essential that all tub/shower systems be tested extensively for leaks before the finishing wall, (tile, etc.) is completed. Also ensure that the integral check stops are exposed, (not covered by tile, boarding etc.) under the removable trim plate. The trim plate should completely cover the rough-in opening when attached. (Having access to these stops allows you to stop the water flow to your shower system without turning off the water to the rest of the bathroom or home.) Diagram A shows typical measurements for reference only and will vary, Important: to ensure a maximum flow, piping from the bottom port of valve to the tub spout outlet MUST be ½ ” (⅝ ” OD) copper pipe. DO NOT use PEX for this connection. IMPORTANT: This pressure balancing valve must be installed with the cold inlet port (marked with blue color ) on the right side, (when facing the valve) and hot inlet port (marked with red color ) on the left. Ensure that all arrows asnd the word UP on the mud guard and valve body point upwards and that the fluid logo is right side up.
