IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE FOR THE

CONSUMER

WARNING: Risk of scalding or other severe injury.

•Before completing installation, the installer must set the

maximum water temperature setting of this valve to minimize the

risks associated with scalding hazards according to ASTM F 444.

•Do not install a shut-off device on either outlet of this valve. The

installation of any such device may create a cross-ﬂow condition

at the valve and affect the water temperature.

•Factors that change the temperature of the water supplied to the

valve, such as seasonal water temperature changes, and water

heater replacement or servicing, will change the maximum water

temperature supplied by the valve and may create a scalding

hazard. The pressure-balanced valve will not compensate for

changes in the water supply temperature; adjust the maximum

water temperature setting of this pressure-balanced valve when

such changes occur.

•Pressure-balanced valves may not provide protection against

scalding if there is a failure of other temperature-limiting devices

elsewhere in the plumbing system.

WARNING: Risk of product damage. Only silicone based

lubricants should be used with these valves. Use of petroleum

based lubricants on the valve is harmful to the O-rings, seals,

and plastic components. Use of petroleum based lubricants will

void the warranty.

The installer is responsible for installing the valve and adjusting the

maximum water temperature of this pressure-balanced valve

according to instructions.

This valve meets or exceeds ANSI A112.18.1 and ASSE 1016.

If you do not understand any of the installation or temperature

adjustment instructions in this document, in the United States please

contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-4-KOHLER.

Outside the U.S., please contact your distributor.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO INSTALLERS! Please ﬁll in the blanks in

the adjacent box and on the valve label. Then insert these instructions

into the plastic bag included with the valve package, and attach the

plastic bag to the valve handle for the homeowner’s reference.

Care and Cleaning

For best results, keep the following in mind when caring for your

KOHLER product:

•Use a mild detergent such as liquid dishwashing soap and warm

water for cleaning. Do not use abrasive cleaners that may scratch

or dull the surface.

•Carefully read the cleaner product label to ensure the cleaner is

safe for use on the material.

•Always test your cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area

before applying to the entire surface.

•Do not allow cleaners to sit or soak on the surface.

•Wipe surfaces clean and rinse completely with water immediately

after cleaner application. Rinse and dry any overspray that lands

on nearby surfaces.

•Use a soft, dampened sponge or cloth. Never use an abrasive

material such as a brush or scouring pad to clean surfaces.

Optional Temperature Limiting Adjustment

CAUTION: Risk of personal injury. The water temperature

should never be set above 120°F (49°C).

Turn the valve clockwise to the full open position and let the hot

water run for several minutes. Position a thermometer in the

water stream and check the temperature.

For minor water temperature changes, adjust the setscrew, and

recheck the water temperature.

For major water temperature changes, remove the O-ring and

collar from the valve stem. Slowly rotate the valve stem until the

desired water temperature is reached.

Reinstall the collar on the valve stem with the setscrew against

the side of the tab.

Reinstall the O-ring, rotate the valve stem counterclockwise to

shut the water off, and recheck the water temperature.

NOTE: After adjustment, complete the required information on the

valve label.
