R18442 & R18442-WS Installation
Remove the bonnet nut, cartridge and
plasterguard (1), plus, the screen, test cap,
bonnet nut, plasterguard and cover (2) before
soldering. Connect valve body to water
supplies using the prop
er fittings. Note: (3)
is the cold inlet port and (4) is the hot
inlet port.
Solder a copper tube (5) from the valve
body to the jet module so the jets are at the
desired height. Determine whether a three
or six function configuration is desired. For
2 port, 3 function; solder plug into auxiliary
port (6) in casting. Solder tube (7) into the
main port of the jet module to the shower
arm elbow to the desired height. For 3 port,
6 function; all outlet ports are used. It is
recommended to mount valves to stringers
as shown.
The pipe (8) between valve & tub spout must
be a minimum of 1/2" (13 mm) copper pipe
or 1/2" (13 mm) iron pipe in a straight drop
no less than 8" (203 mm) but no more than 16"
(406 mm) long with only one 90 degree elbow
to the spout nipple. If any outlet port is to be
unused, seal the port with a pipe plug.
If you are making a back to back or reverse
installation (hot on right and cold on left) install
the valve body as described, but reverse the
water supply lines.
After soldering press the detent (9) into proper
hole as shown, reinstall all parts in reverse
order; ensure bonnet nuts are tightened
securely. Then install the stops into the body;
be careful not to overtighten the nuts.
Note: Install stops in the w/stops version as
follows: Thread nut (10) on stem (11) as shown.
Then press stem and nut assembly into body
(12) and tighten using a 3/8", 6 point, deep
well socket. With a flat head screwdriver, adjust
stem clockwise to close and counterclockwise
to open.
