Installation steps




- Preparation: Turn off the main water supply. Cut the plaster shields so they extend 1/16" (1 mm) outside the finished wall surface.
- Sealing: Seal the wall around the plaster shields using waterproof sealant. Install the slip connectors.
- Connectors: Cut the slip connector so it extends 3/8" - 1/2" (10-13 mm) outside the finished wall. Remove the insert, plug, and check valve covers from the thermostatic mixer.
- Spindles: Install the extension spindles. Cut them so they extend 3/4" - 7/8" (20-23 mm) outside the finished wall. Install the check valves and covers.
- Cartridge: Install the thermostatic cartridge using a 24 mm wrench (11 ft-lb / 15 Nm).
- Volume Control: Push the extension spindles into the volume control sleeves.
- Trim Plate: Push the trim plate against the wall. Install the volume control sleeves, snap connectors, and handles. Tighten screws and install o-rings and screw covers. Install the thermostatic mixer sleeve, stop ring, stem extension, and handle.
- Finishing: Apply a dab of waterproof sealant on the wall at the grout joints.
Setting the high temperature limit
To adjust the maximum temperature:

- Remove the handle and the temperature limit stop ring.
- Adjust the stop ring to the desired position.
- Verify the temperature with a thermometer while running the water.
- Reinstall the stop ring and handle.
Cleaning and maintenance
To maintain the finish and functionality:
- Clean the product when necessary to prevent mineral scale and soap residue buildup.
- Use a soft cloth or sponge. Do not spray cleaners directly onto the product.

Troubleshooting
- Insufficient water: Check supply pressure, clean the thermostat cartridge filter, clean the screen washer between the hand shower and hose, or clean the check valve filters.
- Crossflow (hot/cold mixing when closed): Clean or replace the check valves.
- Temperature regulation not possible: Clean or replace the thermostat cartridge. Ensure the rough valve is correctly connected (cold right, hot left) and not installed with a 180° rotation.
- Safety stop button not operating: Clean or replace the spring and/or button.
