Pre-fabrication & Installation
1.
Install the inlet and outlet pipe to the valve body. A typical piping configuration is shown below.

IMPORTANT: Make sure all plastic and rubber parts are removed prior to soldering. Avoid excessive heat. Make sure that you know where the water outlets are located on your shower components before determining the rough in position.
2.
Turn on hot and cold water supplies and flush clean the piping system and valve body. NOTE: It’s critical to flush the piping system well to clean and remove debris and dirt in order to prevent them from plugging the anti-back flow devices in the integral check stops. Install pressure balancing cartridge. Align two position pins at the bottom surface of the cartridge (#2) with two position holes in the cavity and firmly push the cartridge in without any left or right movement. Hand screw in brass retaining nut (#1) then use a socket or adjustable wrench to turn retaining nut ¼ to ½ cycle more. Do not over-tighten. Install integral check stops. Integral check stop (#4) marked with blue color should be installed at the cold port (A) on the right and integral check stop (#3) marked with red installs at the hot port (B) on the left. Push both integral check stops into the cavity and screw in with a flathead screwdriver until tight. Once tight, turn the integral stops to turn the water on or off by aligning the blue or red indicator on the integral stops with the blue or red on the valve body. ( NOTE: Do not turn more than one turn). See Diagram B for proper ON and OFF positions. This pressure balancing valve is fitted with either a 3-way shut off diverter or a 3-way sharing diverter with 3 outlets ( #C, #D, and #E ). The Diverter valve diverts the mixed water flow to different outlets as well as turn on and off the flow for the shut off model and allow flow sharing between two adjacent outlet for the sharing model. Connect outlet to shower elements using proper fittings and piping. Any unused outlet should be sealed with a cap (not supplied). NOTE: It’s recommended to use either ½” nominal copper pipe or ½” iron pipe from the valve body to the tub spout and NOT to use PEX fitting in order to have the maximum flow rate.

Horizontal
A:
Water is ON Integral check stop is fully open when color indicators are aligned and slot is in a horizontal direction. Water is OFF Integral check stop is fully closed when the color indicators are NOT aligned, and the slot is in a vertical condition. (Note: The color indicator can be positioned above or below the slot to turn the water off).
