Place the temperature control knob (1) 
on volume handle and rotate to the mixed 
position (if required). DO NOT SECURE 
WITH SCREW. Turn on water supplies; 
let the water run until both hot and cold  
water is as hot/cold as possible. Place 
thermometer in a plastic tumbler, and hold 
the tumbler in the water stream. Record the 
temperature reading.
If the water temperature is above 120°F,  
remove the temperature control knob (1) 
and rotate the limit stop (2) clockwise one 
tooth for every 4°F - 6°F (approximate) 
change in temperature. If water temperature 
is cooler than desired, rotate the limit stop 
counterclockwise. 
 
IMPORTANT: The first position of the  
Rotational Limit Stop (the Limiter) is that  
position that restricts the rotation of the 
stem the most and is at the maximum  
clockwise setting. According to industry 
standards, the maximum allowable  
temperature of the water exiting from the 
valve is 120
o
 F. This temperature may vary 
in your local area. The Rotational Limit Stop 
may need to be readjusted if the inlet water 
temperature changes. For instance, during 
the winter, the cold water temperature is 
colder than it is during the summer which 
could result in varying outlet temperatures. 
Typical temperature for a comfortable bath 
or shower is between 90

–110

Secure temperature control knob (1) with 
screw (2) and snap control cover (3) onto 
knob. NOTE: Secure screw until handle 
wobble is reduced, DO NOT FULLY  
TIGHTEN. Overtightening will result in  
difficulty to operate temperature control 
knob. Screw is self locking.
