IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE FOR THE

CONSUMER

WARNING: Risk of scalding or other severe injury.

CAUTION: Risk of scalding hazard. This device has been

calibrated at the factory to ensure a safe maximum water

temperature. Any variance in settings or water inlet

conditions from those used during factory calibration may

raise the discharge temperature above the safe limit, and may

present a scalding hazard.

•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.

The installer is responsible for adjusting the maximum water

temperature of this valve according to instructions.

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

If you do not understand any of the temperature adjustment

instructions in this document, in the United States please contact our

Customer Service Department at 1-800-4KOHLER. Outside the U.S.,

please contact your distributor.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please ﬁll in the blanks in the information box

in the Homeowners Guide and on the valve label. Retain the

Homeowners Guide for future reference.

•The maximum temperature is calibrated so the outlet water

temperature does not exceed 120°F (49°C).

•Factory calibrated inlet conditions are:

Hot and cold water pressure = 45 psi (3.2 kg/cm

)

Hot water supply temperature = 145°F (63°C)

Cold water supply temperature = 65°F (18°C)

•If inlet conditions differ from those used during factory

calibration, it may be necessary to re-calibrate the valve after

installation. The installer must check the mixed ﬂow

temperature after installation, and adjust the valve as needed

according to the instructions.

stops 90° counterclockwise to shut off both the hot and cold water

inlet supplies.

NOTE: If the integral stop turns, but the outer ring does not turn,

ﬁrmly tighten (clockwise) the integral stop. Then rotate

counterclockwise. The outer ring should then turn with the integral

stop.

Conﬁrm the stops are closed using the diagram above.

Turn the ﬂow control counterclockwise to release excess water.

For models with a locking bar, loosen the two screws, slide the

locking bar up until it is clear of the stops, and tighten the screws

to keep the locking bar from sliding back down.

Use a 3/8″square drive or 10 mm hex wrench to remove the stop

assemblies.

Thread the new stop assemblies into the valve and tighten.

Open the stops using a 3/8″square drive or 10 mm hex wrench.

Loosen the screws on the locking bar and slide it down.

Check the Maximum Water Temperature

CAUTION: Risk of personal injury. If the maximum water

temperature is above 120°F (49°C) the water temperature

must be reset to 120°F (49°C) or below to minimize scalding

hazards. Do not set the water temperature above 120°F

(49°C). Setting the water temperature at or below this

temperature will minimize the risk associated with scalding

hazards.

Turn on the water supply if it is not already on.

Remove the plaster guard.

Turn the water to full hot by turning the handle counterclockwise

until it stops.

Let the water run for at least two minutes.

Use a thermometer to determine the temperature. Make sure the

maximum temperature is below 120°F (49°C).

Turn counterclockwise

to open water flow.

Turn temperature

counterclockwise to hot.

not remain in the stem adapter.

Insert the provided 2.5 mm hex wrench into the center of the

stem. Make sure it ﬁts snugly into the head of the hex screw at

the bottom of the stem.

Turn the hex screw clockwise to decrease the temperature,

counterclockwise to increase it.

Position the stem adapter on the stem and turn the water to full

hot.

Use a thermometer to determine the temperature of the water.

Repeat the adjustment with the hex wrench until the desired

temperature is attained.

Reinstall the screw and tighten.

Reinstall the trim.

Allow the water to ﬂow for several minutes to stabilize the water

temperature.
