How do I adjust the temperature of the water coming out of the Delta 13/14 Series MultiChoice Valve Trim?
I recently installed the Delta 13/14 Series MultiChoice Valve Trim and I want to adjust the temperature of the water coming out of the valve. How can I do this?
To adjust the temperature of the water coming out of the Delta 13/14 Series MultiChoice Valve Trim, you will need to adjust the Rotational Limit Stop. The Rotational Limit Stop is used to limit the amount of hot water available to prevent scalding. Here are the steps to adjust the Rotational Limit Stop:
1. Run the water so that the cold water is as cold as it will get and hot water is as hot as it will get.
2. Place the handle on the stem and rotate the handle counterclockwise until it stops.
3. Place a thermometer in a plastic tumbler and hold it in the water stream.
4. If the water temperature is above 120°F, the Rotational Limit Stop must be repositioned clockwise to decrease the outlet temperature.
5. To adjust the temperature, pull the white Rotational Limit Stop outward and rotate it. Clockwise rotation will decrease the outlet temperature, while counterclockwise rotation will increase the outlet temperature.
6. Temperature change per tooth (notch) could be 4° - 16°F based on inlet water conditions.
7. Repeat the adjustment as necessary until the desired temperature is achieved.
8. Make sure that the Rotational Limit Stop is fully retracted into the seated position when finished.
It is important to ensure that the water flowing from the valve at the hottest flow possible does not exceed 120°F or the maximum allowed by your local plumbing code.
