Parts Breakdown (Model Numbers Ending in TRMTC)

IMPORTANT: Model numbers ending in TRMTC coordinate with Temptrol pressure-balancing valves ordered with Test Cap.  The Test Cap is used to allow pressurization of the system. Do not remove test cap from the valve during wall construction,  installation of valve or pressurization of the system.

Installation – Remove Test Cap (Model Numbers Ending in TRMTC)

Flow control spindle (TA-10) and cap assembly (T-12A) will come factory assembled for all model numbers ending in TRMTC.  When ready to remove Test Cap and install trim, follow the instructions below:

1. Check for leaks around the valve assembly and all pipe fittings.
2. Remove test cap from valve (FIGURE 4.1).
3. If the system is dirty, flush the valve.
4.  Thread flow control spindle and cap assembly into the valve body. Turn clockwise to secure to valve (FIGURE 4.2).

Installation – Adjust Packing Nut (Model Numbers Ending in TRMTC)

1.  Turn hot and cold supplies on. Valve will not operate unless both hot and cold water supply pressures are on.
2. Place handle overflow control spindle.
3.  Tighten packing nut for positive frictional resistance as the handle is rotated from shut-off position across adjustment range

Installation – Setting Limit Stop Screw (Model Numbers Ending in TRMTC)

The temperature limit stop screw limits valve handle from being turned to the maximum position resulting in excessive hot water discharge temperatures.
WARNING: Failure to adjust the limit stop screw properly may result in serious scalding.

1. Turn hot and cold supplies on. Valve will not operate unless both hot and cold water supply pressures are on.
2.  Place the handle on the flow control spindle and open the valve to the maximum desired temperature.
3. Turn limit stop screw clockwise until it seats.

Parts Breakdown

*Order in-line vacuum breaker (EF-109) for hand shower systems without dual checks.

Notes:

1.  Append appropriate suffix for a premium finish.
2. Append appropriate flow rate to the showerhead or hand shower for low flow.
3. Apply a bead of silicone around the perimeter of all shower trim installed flush to the finished wall. Leave an opening on the bottom of escutcheons for weep hole.
4.  Apply plumber tape to all threaded connections.

Installation – Shower Valve Trim

1. Secure large shower escutcheon to Temptrol pressure-balancing valve using mounting screws (FIGURE 8.1).
2. Install dome cover by turning clockwise (FIGURE 8.2).
3. Install ‘P’ handle to the shower valve. Secure with set screw. Install plug button (FIGURE 8.3).
4.  Install ‘PLR’ handle to the shower valve. Secure with set screw (FIGURE 8.4).

 Installation – Diverter Valve Trim

1.  Secure small diverter escutcheon to Symmons diverter valve using mounting screws (FIGURE 9.1).
2. Install dome cover by turning clockwise (FIGURE 9.2).
3. Install the handle to the diverter valve. Secure with set screw(FIGURE 9.3).

Installation – Showerhead & Tub Spout

1. Attach arm and flange to shower pipe. Turn clockwise to tighten (FIGURE 10.1).
2. Install showerhead to shower arm. Turn clockwise to tighten (FIGURE 10.2).
3. Install tub spout to stub out pipe. Turn clockwise to tighten (FIGURE 10.3).

Installation – Slide Bar Assembly

1. Remove slide bar ends from slide bar flanges. Using flanges as a guide, drill 1/8″ pilot holes into studs or wood blocking. With slide bar in position, secure to wall using screws. Attach slide bar ends to bar flanges (FIGURE 11.1).
2. Remove the screw cap from slide mechanism (FIGURE 11.2).
3.  Remove the wand holder from the slide mechanism (FIGURE 11.3).
4.  Remove lever handle from slide mechanism (FIGURE 11.4).
5.  Install slide mechanism components to slide bar following STEPS 11.2 – 11.4 in reverse. Flat edge on (N1) and (N2) must be aligned. Arrows on (N1) and (N3) identify the bottom side (FIGURE 11.5).
   Note: Adjust the screw cap for ease of movement of the slide assembly.
6. Press tabs on wall elbow flange. Install wall elbow to pipe fitting. Turn clockwise to secure (FIGURE 11.6).
7. Attach small end of hand shower hose to wall elbow.
   Turn clockwise to tighten (FIGURE 11.7).
8. Attach large end of hand shower hose to hand shower wand. Turn clockwise to tighten (FIGURE 11.8).

Operation (Temperature Control)

1. Turn shower handles counter-clockwise approximately 1/4 turn to put the valve in cold position (FIGURE 12.1).
2. Turn shower handles counter-clockwise approximately 1/2 turn to put the valve in a warm position (FIGURE 12.2).
3.  Turn the shower handle counter- clockwise approximately 3/4 turn to put the valve in hot position (FIGURE 12.3).

Operation (Dual Outlet Diverter Control)

Note: Additional handle positions for the same output are illustrated.

1.  The cartridge is factory set to divert to function 1 (FIGURE 13.1).
2.  Turn the handle to position 2 to divert to function 2 (FIGURE 13.2).
3. Turn the handle to position 3 to share functions 1 and 2 (FIGURE 13.3).

 Operation (Triple Outlet Diverter Control)

1. Cartridge is factory set to divert to function 1 (FIGURE 14.1).
2.  Turn handle to position 2 to divert to function 2 (FIGURE 14.2).
3.  Turn handle to position 3 to divert to function 3 (FIGURE 14.3).
4. Turn handle to position 4 to share functions 2 and 3 (FIGURE 14.4).
5. Turn handle to position 5 to share functions 1 and 3 (FIGURE 14.5).
6. Turn handle to position 6 to share functions 1 and 2 (FIGURE 14.6).
