Setup and Installation
Before installation, ensure you have all necessary tools and that the main water supply is turned off. It is recommended to consult a professional plumber for installation.
1. Valve Installation
The main shower valve is constructed from high-quality brass and includes a cUPC pressure balance cartridge. This valve is integral to the system and must be used. If replacing an existing shower, the old valve must be completely removed.
2. Pipe Connections
Ensure your wall piping is compatible with the U.S. standard 1/2'' NPT connections. Refer to the diagram for proper pipe installation and connections.
3. Component Assembly
Assemble the shower arm, shower head, and tub spout according to the detailed instructions provided in the package. The tub spout includes a copper pipe; if not using the provided pipe, ensure your existing copper pipe meets the specified minimum length of 1-1/2 inches and maximum length of 2-7/8 inches with a 5/8 inch diameter.

Operating Instructions
1. Water Flow and Temperature Control
The single handle controls both water flow and temperature. Rotate the handle to adjust the temperature from cold to hot. Lift the handle to turn on the water and push down to turn it off.
2. Shower Head Operation
The 5-inch shower head features 10 different spray patterns. Rotate the dial on the shower head to select your desired spray mode. The shower head also has a 360° swivel feature for adjustable angle.
3. Bathtub Spout Diverter
To switch water flow from the tub spout to the shower head, lift the diverter knob on the tub spout. To return water flow to the tub spout, press the knob down.
Maintenance
To maintain the brushed nickel finish and ensure optimal performance, clean the faucet and shower head regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish. For shower head nozzles, gently rub the rubber nozzles to dislodge mineral buildup.
Troubleshooting
- Low Water Pressure: Check if the main water supply is fully open. Inspect the shower head nozzles for mineral buildup and clean if necessary. Ensure no kinks are in the water lines.
- Leaks: Tighten all connections. If leaks persist from the handle or spout, the internal cartridge or O-rings may need inspection or replacement. Consult a plumber.
- Temperature Fluctuations: This system includes a pressure balance cartridge designed to prevent sudden temperature changes. If fluctuations occur, it may indicate an issue with the water heater or the cartridge itself.
- Diverter Not Switching: Ensure the diverter knob is fully lifted or pressed. If it remains stuck, mineral buildup or internal wear might be the cause.
