TUB AND SHOWER VALVES
Measurements
These are shown in the drawings. The depth measurement is critical. Use
the front face of the plaster ground as a reference point for the finished
wall position, including tile (2-1/16" [52mm]). The center line of the supply
and discharge piping should be a maximum of 2-3/16" (56mm) and a minimum
of 1-7/16" (37mm) behind the finished wall surface.
Available with three or four port castings, with and without stops.
Connections are either 1/2 inch I.P.S. pipe or 1/2 inch copper sweat connections.
If the Moen Slip Fit spout is used, a 1/2 inch copper drop and lookout may be used.
CAUTION:
Always turn water off before disassembling the valve. Open valve handle to
alleviate water pressure to insure that complete water shut-off has been
accomplished.
Before turning water on during either rough-in or trim-out, make sure that cartridge retainer clip is in place. The
cartridge and retainer clip were properly installed and tested before leaving the factory. Although it is unlikely, it is
nevertheless possible that through the handling of the valve by any number of persons the retainer clip may not be
properly installed. This should be carefully checked at time of rough-in and trim-out. If the retainer clip is not properly
installed, water pressure could force the cartridge out of the casting. Personal injury or water damage to the
premises could result.
