Both hot and cold supply lines must be
pressurized. If only one side is pressurized, the
pressure balance system will not allow adequate
flow of water.
Volume control handle rotates 360
degrees or is not positioned correctly per
escutcheon, (sleeve is also loose). The keys
of the cartridge have not been properly placed
in the keyways in the brass body or keys on

installation. BE SURE TO CORRECT THIS
SITUATION IMMEDIATELY.

NOTE: If the water in your area has lime, rust,
sand, or other contaminants in it, your pressure
balance 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 from the body and
shake it rigorously. If there is a rattling sound,
the unit is functional and can be reinstalled
in its previous position. If there is no rattle,
replace the cartridge with RP46463.
