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 tem-
perature. 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
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
