This valve trim is designed for a 1-hole installation. Please note that the tub/shower rough-in valve is NOT included and must be ordered separately. The recommended valve is model #0X8-310A.
Before You Begin:

- Turn off the main water supply to your bathroom.
- Gather necessary tools (screwdriver, adjustable wrench, plumber's tape, etc.).

Installation Steps (General):
- Remove any existing trim components from the rough-in valve.
- Install the trim plate onto the wall, ensuring it is flush and securely fastened.
- Attach the handle assembly to the valve stem, following the specific instructions provided with your rough-in valve for proper alignment and temperature stop settings.

3. Operating Instructions
The Pfister R89-1NCC Contempra Series Valve Trim features a single handle for controlling both water flow and temperature.
Temperature and Flow Control:
- Turning On/Off: Pull the handle outwards to turn on the water flow. Push the handle inwards to turn off the water flow.
- Adjusting Temperature: Rotate the handle counter-clockwise for hotter water and clockwise for colder water. The trim plate typically has indicators for hot (sun icon) and cold (snowflake icon) water.
- Adjusting Flow: The flow rate is generally controlled by how far the handle is pulled out.
The internal temperature stop can be adjusted during installation to prevent scalding. If you find the maximum hot water temperature is not sufficient, consult the rough-in valve manual for instructions on adjusting this limit.
