2 INSTALLING THE ROUGH-IN
A. This thermostatic valve can be installed in the 2x4 or the 2x6
wall depending on the available space. Place the rough-in cap (fixed
on the valve) to the desired depth 2 3/4" (from the center of the
inlet to the finished wall: gyproc and tile).
B. For better support, it's recommended to fit a 3/4" plywood to
the back of the valve. Before fitting the valve, make sure that you
have the exact depth in the wall. Adjust if necessary and then fit it
temporarily with 2 screws.
C. To complete the valve installation, correct the horizontal and
vertical alignment of the mixer on the wall using a level placed on the
rough-in cap. Then adjust and screw it firmly to the back support.

N.B.: For the position of the valve and other accessories, please con-
sult The Mounting shower system guide.
3 CONNECTING THE WATER
A. Install the thermostatic valve by connecting the hot and cold
water pipes and the mixed water delivery pipe. The hot water
must always be connected on the left and the cold water on
the right as indicated on the body. Ensure the piping is free of
debris and dirt to prevent blockage in the mixer.
B. The thermostatic valve is fitted with 2 outlets for the mixed
water (A) and (B). If it is necessary to use the second one (B),
connect the supplementary pipe. However, please be advised of
the following: You cannot use both (A) & (B) together. You
will not get the same temperature out of both when used at
the same time. They must be used independently
C. When the water connections have been made, make sure there
are no leaks between the pipes and the valve.
D. Make sure you seal in the plug on outlet B if you are not going
to use this waterway.
