What to do if my Bradley Plumbing Product has limited water flow?

  If you're experiencing limited water flow with your Bradley Plumbing Product, it might be due to dirt and debris buildup in the valve or strainer. First, ensure both hot and cold water supplies are connected to the mixing valve and have water flow. Then, remove the cover and U-clip, take out the cartridge, and clean the strainer. While greasing the cartridge isn't required, silicone grease can be used if desired. Remember, do not use grease on check valves.

  If an individual operating station of your Bradley Plumbing Product fails to shut off and drips, it's probably because debris is trapped between the diaphragm and the valve seat. To resolve this: 1. Remove the three #8 Phillips-head screws holding the solenoid valve assembly together, being careful not to lose the armature or spring. 2. Remove the diaphragm and clear any trapped particles between it and the valve seat. Rinse the diaphragm and check for damage, ensuring the center orifice and both small side orifices are open. 3. Reassemble in reverse order, being careful not to overtighten the screws to avoid cracking the plastic valve body. Tighten until the armature plate makes contact with the plastic body. 4. Reconnect the wiring.

  If you notice improper water temperature or fluctuations in your Bradley Plumbing Product, it could be due to a couple of reasons. One possibility is that the water supply isn't 10° above the desired set point, in which case you should increase the hot water supply temperature. Another reason might be that the temperature isn't properly set, so adjust the temperature accordingly.

  If an individual operating station on your Bradley Plumbing Product fails to turn on, it could be due to a failed coil for the valve or a loose electrical connection to the terminal. To diagnose and fix this: 1. Disconnect the wires from the coil of an adjacent valve. Disconnect the wires from the problem valve and reconnect to the adjacent valve. 2. Turn on electrical and water supplies to the unit. Pass your hand in front of the sensor of the problem station, and the adjacent station should turn on. 3. If the adjacent station turns on and cycles normally, replace the coil on the problem valve. If the adjacent valve fails to turn on, inspect the wires from the sensor cable and: * ensure there are no breaks and that the fully insulated disconnect terminals are firmly crimped in p...
