Crosswater US-WF1000EV Installation Instructions

Waldorf Exposed Thermostatic Valve
US-WF1000EV
Installation Instructions

Introduction

This exposed valve is suitable for use with all water systems up to a
maximum operating pressure of 72 psi and static pressure of 144 psi,
beyond which pressure reducing valves must be installed. The
minimum water pressure requirement is 14.5 psi.
The outlet is controlled by a flow control cartridge, commonly used for
a main shower head.
IMPORTANT:
Please read these instructions carefully before beginning and
retain for future reference.

Installation notes

The installation must comply with all plumbing codes including local
codes. This valve is a mixing device and therefore requires the water
supplies to be reasonably balanced, otherwise we recommend a
pressure-reducing valve to be installed.
The valve is fitted with integral single-check valve cartridges,
therefore the exposed valve is protected against cross-flow due to
unbalanced line pressures.
Installing shut-off valves on incoming supply lines is recommended
for ease of maintenance.
IMPORTANT: Turn off the main water supply before connecting
to any existing pipework.
WARNING! Please check for any hidden pipes and cables, electric
or otherwise, before drilling holes in a wall.
