Installation
Pre-Installation Notes
Important: The included valve body is specific to the SUNZOE system. If you are replacing an existing shower system from another brand (e.g., Moen, Delta), you must remove their valve body and trims before installing the SUNZOE valve. Compatibility with other brands' existing valve bodies is not guaranteed.

Installation Steps (General Overview)
- Prepare the Wall: Ensure the wall opening is correctly sized for the valve body. Turn off the main water supply.
- Install the Valve Body: Connect the hot and cold water lines to the designated NPT 1/2" inlets on the brass valve body. Connect the mixed water outlets for the overhead shower and tub spout. Secure the valve body within the wall.
- Install Shower Arm and Head: Attach the 6-inch firm shower arm to the wall connection, then connect the 12-inch adjustable extension arm. Finally, attach the 10-inch overhead shower head. Ensure all connections are sealed with plumber's tape. The overhead shower head features a 360° swivel for angle adjustment.
- Install Tub Spout: Connect the tub spout to its designated water outlet. The metal tub spout is designed for high flow rate.
- Install Handheld Shower: Mount the 360° adjustable shower holder to the wall using the provided screws. Connect the 59-inch shower hose to the handheld spray and the wall outlet. Place the handheld spray in the holder.
- Install Trim and Handle: Secure the decorative trim plate and install the single handle onto the valve stem.
- Test for Leaks: Turn on the main water supply and check all connections for leaks.

Tub Spout Operation
To fill the bathtub, ensure the diverter is set to the tub spout position. The tub spout features a high flow rate for quick filling. To switch to shower, pull up the knob on the tub spout.
Maintenance
Cleaning
- Clean the shower head and handheld spray nozzles regularly by gently touching the rubber nozzles to dislodge mineral buildup.
- Wipe all surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- For stubborn water spots, use a mild soap solution or a vinegar-based cleaner specifically designed for bathroom fixtures. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
Anti-Scald Valve
The anti-scald pressure balance valve is factory-set to ensure safe water temperatures. No user adjustment is typically required or recommended for this component.
Troubleshooting
Refer to the table below for common issues and their potential solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low water pressure from shower head or handheld spray. | Mineral buildup in nozzles; partially closed shut-off valve; debris in the system. | Clean rubber nozzles on shower head/handheld spray. Ensure shut-off valves are fully open. Check for debris in the valve or supply lines (consult a plumber if necessary). |
| Water not hot enough. | Hot water heater setting too low; anti-scald device limiting temperature (less common for this model). | Check your hot water heater temperature setting. This model's anti-scald valve is factory set; if issues persist, consult a plumber. |
| Leaks at connections. | Loose connections; insufficient plumber's tape; damaged O-rings/gaskets. | Ensure all connections are tightened properly. Reapply plumber's tape if necessary. Inspect O-rings and gaskets for damage and replace if found. |
| Diverter not switching properly. | Debris in diverter mechanism; worn diverter cartridge. | Flush the system to clear debris. If the issue persists, the diverter cartridge may need replacement (contact support). |
