Diverter Valve Top Cover Removal and Installation
To remove the diverter valve top cover (see Figure 3):
1. Remove the valve handle lock screw and handle from the valve shaft.
2. Using a No. 2 Philips screwdriver, remove the twelve (12) cover screws. Set the screws aside.
3. When removing the cover: Do not insert a screw driver blade between the valve body and the top cover to pry open.
Temporarily install the handle and thumb screw to aid lifting the cover and diverter shaft out and off the valve body.
Be careful not to drop or lose the cover o-ring.
To install the diverter valve top cover (see Figure 4 and 5):
1. Lubricate the cover o-ring with silicon o-ring grease and place it on the cover flange. Install the cover and diverter shaft in
reverse order of removal from the valve body. If the diverter shaft was removed from the cover, make sure the two o-ring
(spacer goes between o-rings) are in place and lubricated with silicon o-ring grease.
2. Align the notch (on cover) and tab (on valve body) this will position the top cover molded name "INLET" over the center or
"common" port as shown in Figure 3. Make sure the cover and valve body screw holes are aligned.
3. Install the twelve (12) cover screws. Using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver, torque the screws sequentially to 36 lb*in (4.1 N*m).
using the crisscross tightening sequence shown in Figure 4.
4. Mount the handle onto the diverter shaft (the handle is keyed to fit on the shaft in only one position).
5. Install the handle lock screw and finger tighten to secure in place.
6. Manually verify that the diverter valve rotates smoothly in both directions.
Note: If reorienting the valve cover is necessary, the locating tab on valve body (fig. 5)
must be removed (use file or wire cutters) to allow reorienting the valve cover to an
alternate position.
