TROUBLESHOOTING
HELPFUL HINTS:
1. Before removing cartridge assembly for any maintenance, be sure to note the position of the stop on the cap.
The cartridge assembly must always be put back in the same position. For normal installations, the stop on the cap
will face the left. To be safe, after you have fi nished the installation turn ON valve to make sure cold water fl ow
fi rst.
2. To remove cartridge from body, shut OFF water supplies and remove handle, trim sleeve and bonnet. Place
handle on stem and rotate clockwise while lifting cartridge out of body.
3. To remove seats and springs, remove cartridge (see above). Separate cap assembly from the housing assem-
bly by rotating the cap counter clockwise 90 degrees. Separate cap and housing assemblies. Remove seats and
springs. Place new seats and spring. Place the largest diameter of the spring into the seat pocket fi rst and then
press the tapered end of the seal over the spring. Reassemble cartridge and replace in body following instructions
given in Step 1 above.
4. If the water in your area has lime, rust, sand or other contaminants in it, your pressure balanced valve will require
periodic inspection. The frequency of the inspection will depend on the amount of contaminants in the water. To
inspect cartridge, remove it and follow Step 1. Turn the valve to the full mix position and shake the cartridge rigor-
ously. If there is a rattling sound, the unit is functional and can be reinstalled following instructions given in Step 1
as listed. If there is no rattle, replace housing assembly.
