CAUTION: This system/device must be set by the installer to ensure safe, maximum temperature. Any change in the setting may raise the discharge temperature above the limit considered safe and may lead to hot water burns.

NOTICE TO INSTALLER: CAUTION!–As the installer of this valve, it is your responsibility to properly INSTALL and ADJUST this valve per the instructions given. This valve does not automatically adjust for inlet temperature changes, therefore, someone must make the necessary temperature knob adjustments at the time of installation and further adjustments may be necessary due to seasonal water temperature change. YOU MUST inform the owner/user of this requirement by following the instructions. If you or the owner/user are unsurehow to properly make these adjustments please refer to page 7 and if still uncertain, call us at 1-800-345-DELTA.

After installation and adjustment, you must affix your name, company name and the date you adjusted the temperature knob to the caution label provided and apply or attach the label to the back side of the closest cabinet door and the warning label to the water heater. Leave this Instruction Sheet for the owner’s/user’s reference. WARNING: This pressure balanced or thermostatic bath valve is designed to minimize the effects of outlet water temperature changes due to inlet pressure changes, commonly caused by dishwashers, washing machines, toilets and the like. It may not provide protection from hot water burns when there is a failure of other temperature controlling devices elsewhere in the plumbing system, if the temperature knob is not properly set or if the hot water temperature is changed after the settings are made or if the water inlet changes due to seasonal changes. WARNING: Do not install a shut-off device on either outlet of this valve. When this type of device shuts off the water flow, it can defeat the ability of the valve to balance the hot and cold water pressures.

[1] Cartridge Installation

Turn off water supplies. Remove bonnet nut (1) and test cap (2) from the body. Place a bucket or small container over the front of the valve body and slowly open the water supplies to flush any debris from the supply lines before installing the cartridge. Turn the water supplies back off. If this is not a thin wall mounting, the entire plasterguard (3) may be removed. If screen (4) is in place, remove before installing cartridge.

Rotate the cartridge (1) so the word “UP” (2) appears on the top. The “H” must be on the hot side and the “C” must be on the cold side. Add silicone lube to the three o-rings (3) shown above to make the cartridge easier to install and remove from the valve body. Insert cartridge into valve body as shown. Ensure the keys on the body are fully engaged with the slots in the body (4).

Slide bonnet nut (1) over the cartridge and thread onto the body. Hand tighten securely.

Back to back Installation

[4] Installation and Adjustment of the Temperature Knob Failure to do so may cause injury.

A. Adjust temperature limit stop!Turn on water supplies; LET THE WATER RUN AT BOTH FULL HOT AND FULL COLD TO ENSURE THE WATER IS RUNNING AS HOT/COLD AS POSSIBLE. Place a thermometer in a plastic tumbler, and hold the tumbler in the water stream. Place the temperature knob (1) onto the splines (2), then rotate the temperature knob counter-clockwise until you achieve your maximum desired temperature from the outlet (not more than 120° or the lower temperature mandated by your local plumbing code).If max temperature is not achieved before limit stop (3) on temperature knob (1) meets the limit stop (4) on the volume control handle. Remove the temperature control knob (1) from splines (2). Rotate temperature control knob (1) clockwise. Place temperature control knob (1) back onto splines (2) and continue to rotate counter-clockwise until maximum desired temperature is achieved. Remove the temperature knob (1) and replace onto the splines (2), making sure that the temperature knob limit stop (3) hits against the volume handle limit stop (4) as shown.

Secure the temperature knob using screw (1) and place cap (2) on knob.

Secure temperature control knob (1) with screw (2). Hook (3) front of temperature control cover (4) onto knob (1) before engaging rear snap (5).

Snap temperature control cover over temperature control knob by first aligning smaller tab (1) on cover with receiving slot (2) on temperature knob. Swing larger tab (3) to engage with snap feature (4). Note: If dis-assembly is required, reverse this motion, disengaging larger tab (3) from snap feature (4) first.

Attach spacer screw (1) to valve stem (2). Slide temperature control handle (3) into place over spacer screw (1) and secure using set screw (4). Cover with decorative button (5).

Temperature handle Installation

Turn on water supplies; LET THE WATER RUN AT BOTH FULL HOT AND FULL COLD TO ENSURE THE WATER IS RUNNING AS HOT/COLD AS POSSIBLE. Place the temperature handle (1) onto the spline, then rotate the temperature handle until you achieve your maximum desired temperature from the outlet (not more than 120° or the lower temperature mandated by your local plumbing code). Then take off the temperature handle and assemble it onto the spline again to make sure the temperature handle limit stop (2) hits against the volume handle limit stop (3) as shown. Install temperature handle with set screw (4), cover set screw with handle button (5).

[5] Potential scald or thermal shock injury could result due to cross flow if outlet at the shower is blocked or restricted (e.g., pause control on showerhead). Be sure to point showerhead away from you when restarting low or install inlet check valves on both supply lines to prevent possible injury.

Cleaning and Care

Care should be given to the cleaning of this product. Although its finish is extremely durable, it can be damaged by harsh abrasives or polish. To clean, simply wipe gently with a damp cloth and blot dry with a soft towel.

Warning: Scrubbing Bubbles® Bathroom Cleaner and Lysol® Basin Tub and Tile Cleaner must not be used on the clear knob handles and levers. Use of these cleaners can result in cracked or severely damaged handles. If overspray gets onto the handles, immediately wipe them dry with a soft cotton cloth.

Maintenance

Cannot receive more than a trickle of water:Both hot and cold supply lines must be pressurized. If only one side is pressurized, the system will not allow adequate flow of water.

Faucet leaks from showerhead:Remove the showerhead then turn the water on and off to verify if the cartridge is leaking or the showerhead is draining slowly (the showerhead may need to be cleaned if water drains slowly).

If leak persists –SHUT OFF WATER SUPPLIES Replace cartridge assembly – RP47201.

Unable to set or maintain mixed water temperature:SHUT OFF WATER SUPPLIES. Remove handle assembly, trim sleeve, and bonnet nut. Check to make sure the “H” marking on the cartridge aligns with the hot inlet and the “C” marking on the cartridge aligns with the cold inlet to the valve body. The thermostatic cartridge cannot function if hot and cold inlets are reversed.

Low flow:Low flow may be caused by clogged screens within the thermostatic cartridge. To clean the hot and cold screens in the cartridge, follow the steps below:

SHUT OFF WATER SUPPLIES.
Remove the handle assembly.
Unscrew the hex shaped portion of the cartridge from the brass section of the cartridge. The brass section must be held securely by the flats while the hex is rotated counter-clockwise. Failure to secure the brass section while rotating the hex can result in damage to the cartridge.(See illustration below)
Carefully clean any debris from the screens under running water. If the debris is difficult to remove then soak the screens overnight in a 50% water and 50% vinegar solution.
Reassemble the cartridge.
Replace the handle.
Turn the water back on.
Reset the limit stop before using the valve.
