1. Turn on hot and cold water supply. Open both check
stop assemblies by turning check adjustment screw 16
counterclockwise until screw tops out. Check for leaks
around bonnet and stop assemblies at this time.

turns. Continue to slowly turn handle clockwise until
water flow stops. Then continue to rotate handle
clockwise an additional 90 Deg. (1/4 turn) then stop.
Turn back counterclockwise slowly until the water flow
completely stops.
3. With the flow of water now shut off, place the first
temperature stop washer 18 on the valve stem 21
keyed on the counterclockwise side as close to the
bonnet stop as possible. See Figure 12.
4. Once temperature stop washer 18 is installed, slightly
valve by turning stem with handle counter-
clockwise and then back clockwise until first
temperature stop washer 18 hits stop on valve bonnet.
At this time, ensure that water is shut off completely to
showerhead.

until the water flow is shut off and the temperature
stop washer 18 is against the valve bonnet stop.

clockwise measuring water temperature with a
thermometer until the high limit temperature is
reached. (Recommend 105° to 110 °F)
2. Place the second temperature stop washer 18 on the
valve stem 21 keyed on the clockwise side as close to
the valve bonnet stop as possible. Rotate counter-
clockwise until it is fully against bonnet stop (full hot).
See Figure 13.
