Understanding Thermostatic Mixing Technology
The thermostatic valve inside this fixture functions much like a smart climate control system for your water. Inside the valve body, a sensitive thermostatic element continually measures the ratio of hot and cold water coming from your 3/4-inch NPT inlets. If someone flushes a toilet or runs a kitchen faucet elsewhere in the home, causing a pressure drop in one supply line, the internal element instantly adjusts the mix to maintain your exact selected temperature. This prevents sudden cold bursts or scalding surges, ensuring a safe and comfortable shower experience every time.
Installation Guide
Ensure water supply lines are thoroughly flushed before mounting the valve to prevent debris from clogging the internal screens.
Verify that the wall mount 3/4-inch female NPT inlets are set precisely at 8 inches center-to-center for a proper fit.
Remember that you must order a 1560 or 1565 riser separately to connect the valve outlet to your shower head.
Periodically check and clean the integrated service stop screens to maintain optimal water flow and pressure.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Rinsing Rinse the brass body and porcelain levers with warm water after each use to prevent soap film buildup.
Soft Cloth Drying Wipe down all exposed metal surfaces with a soft, microfiber cloth to maintain the polished finish and prevent water spots.
Gentle Cleansing Use mild soap and water for routine cleaning; avoid harsh chemical cleaners, abrasives, or acidic detergents that can damage the finish.
Screen Maintenance Inspect and clear the service stop screens annually to ensure unimpeded water flow through the valve.
Handle Care Clean the porcelain lever handles gently to preserve their glossy appearance without scratching the surface.
