Mounting Dimensions
This diagram provides detailed dimensions for the shower system components and rough-in valve, crucial for proper wall-mounted installation. Refer to these measurements for accurate placement.
Installation Steps
- Prepare the Wall: Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and structurally sound. Mark the desired location for the rough-in valve and shower components according to the dimensional diagram.
- Install the Rough-in Valve: Secure the rough-in valve body within the wall cavity, ensuring it is level and at the correct depth. Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the designated inlets on the valve. Use pipe sealant tape on all threaded connections.
- Connect Outlets: Connect the plumbing lines from the valve outlets to the locations for the rain shower head and handheld shower. Ensure all connections are secure and leak-free.
- Install Trim and Handle: Once the wall is finished, install the decorative trim plate, single lever handle, and diverter knob onto the rough-in valve. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for securing these components.
- Install Shower Arm and Head: Thread the shower arm into the wall outlet, applying pipe sealant tape. Secure the 8-inch rain shower head onto the shower arm.
- Install Handheld Shower and Hose: Mount the handheld shower holder to the wall at a convenient height. Connect the PVC shower hose to the handheld shower and the wall outlet.
- Test for Leaks: Turn on the main water supply slowly and check all connections for leaks. Operate both the rain shower and handheld shower to ensure proper function and water flow.
Operation Guide
Water Flow and Temperature Control
The single lever handle controls both water flow and temperature:
- To Turn On/Off: Lift the handle to turn on the water. Push down to turn off.
- To Adjust Flow: The further you lift the handle, the greater the water flow.
- To Adjust Temperature: Rotate the handle left for hotter water and right for colder water. The pressure-balanced valve will maintain a consistent temperature once set.
Diverter Function
The diverter knob allows you to switch between the rain shower and the handheld shower:
- Rotate the diverter knob to select either the rain shower head or the handheld shower.
- Ensure the knob is fully engaged in the desired position for optimal water flow from the selected outlet.

Care and Maintenance
Cleaning Instructions
- To maintain the matte black finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- For stubborn water spots, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying.
- Periodically clean the silicone nozzles on the shower heads by gently rubbing them to dislodge mineral buildup.
Preventative Measures
- Ensure proper ventilation in your shower area to prevent moisture buildup.
- Check for leaks periodically and address them promptly to prevent water damage.
- If you live in an area with hard water, consider installing a water softener to reduce mineral buildup and prolong the life of your shower system.
