Adjusting the Rotational Limit Stop – Identify RLS type from

pages 4-5.
IMPORTANT:
The Rotational Limit Stop is used to limit the
amount of hot water available such that, if set
properly, the user will not be scalded if the
handle accidentally is rotated all the way to
"hot" when a person is showering or filling a
tub. The first position allows the LEAST amount
of hot water to mix with the cold water in the
system. In the first position the water will be
the coldest possible when the handle is turned
all the way to hot. As you move the Rotational
Limit Stop counterclockwise, you progressively
add more and more hot water in the mix. The
last position to the left will result in the greatest
amount of hot water to the mix, and the greatest
risk of scald injury if someone accidentally turns
the valve handle all the way to the hot side while
showering or filling a tub.
WARNING: In some instances, setting the
Rotational Limit Stop in the hottest position
(full counterclockwise) could result in scald
injury. It is necessary to adjust the Rotational
Limit Stop so that the water coming out of
the valve will not scald the user when the
handle of the valve is rotated to the hot side.
• According to the majority of industry
standards, the maximum allowable temperature
of the water exiting the valve is 120°F (Your
local plumbing codes may require a water
temperature less than 120°F).
• The Rotational Limit Stop may need to
be readjusted seasonally if the inlet water
temperature changes. For example, during the
winter, the cold water temperature is colder
than it is during the summer which could
result in varying outlet temperatures. A water

temperature for a comfortable bath or shower is
typically between 90°F - 110°F.
• Run the water so that the cold water is as cold
as it will get and hot water is as hot as it will get.
Place the handle on the stem (see page 7, step
4D) and rotate the handle counterclockwise until
the handle stops.
• Place a thermometer in a plastic tumbler
and hold in the water stream. If the water
temperature is above 120°F, the Rotational
Limit Stop must be repositioned clockwise to
decrease valve outlet water temperature to be
less than 120°F or to meet the requirements of
your local plumbing codes.
• To adjust the temperature of the water coming
out of the valve, pull the disc back to a position
where it is possible to remove the Rotational
Limit Stop and readjust the teeth engagement
position to the desired temperature. Clockwise
will decrease the outlet temperature,
counterclockwise will increase the outlet
temperature. Temperature change per tooth
(notch) could be 4° - 16°F based on inlet water
conditions. Repeat as necessary.
Push disc until fully seated.
WARNING: Failure to re-install Disc after
setting Rotational Limit Stop could result in
scald injury.
• MAKE SURE COLD WATER FLOWS FROM
THE VALVE FIRST. MAKE SURE WATER
FLOWING FROM THE VALVE AT THE
HOTTEST FLOW POSSIBLE DOES NOT
EXCEED 120°F OR THE MAXIMUM ALLOWED
BY YOUR LOCAL PLUMBING CODE.
