USER MANUAL MULTICHOICE 13-14 DELTA

IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS ENCLOSED CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury due to hot water burns, make sure the enclosed labels are applied where specified on the label.

NOTICE TO INSTALLER: Place this label on the water heater next to the temperature adjustment knob.

WARNING: These series of tub/shower valves do not adjust automatically for changes in temperature at the hot water heater or inlet. If the temperature setting of the hot water heater or inlet is changed, the setting on these valves must be adjusted manually! Failure to re-adjust the valve may result in hot water burns or extreme cold resulting from variations in line pressure (such as when a dishwasher or washing machine is in use while you are taking a shower). After installation, verify that the rotational limit stop (13/14/17 series) or temperature knob (17T series) on the valve is set so that changes in line pressure or temperature do not result in uncomfortable water temperature changes. If the temperature setting of the hot water heater or inlet is changed after installation of the valve, the setting of the rotational limit stop or temperature knob also must be changed! Consult the installation instruction sheet for instructions on how to make this setting, or call us at 1-800-345-DELTA.

Rotational Limit Stop is located behind the disc.

NOTICE TO INSTALLER: Place this label close to the valve where the owner will see it, such as inside the door of a cabinet or vanity.

WARNING: Water temperature changes due to seasonal or other inlet variations, such as changing the setting on the hot water heater may require adjustment of the rotational limit stop (13/14/17 Series) or temperature knob (17T Series) on your tub/shower valve to ensure a safe maximum temperature. These valve series do not automatically adjust for inlet temperature changes. If changes occur and you are not sure how to make the necessary rotational limit stop or temperature knob adjustments, please consult the installation instruction sheet provided with this valve or call 1-800-345-DELTA. These valve series are designed to minimize the effects of outlet water temperature changes due to inlet pressure changes, commonly caused by dishwashers, washing machines, toilets and the like. They may not provide protection from hot water burns when there is a failure of other temperature controlling devices elsewhere in the plumbing system. After making the necessary adjustments please fill in the information below. This valve/system has been set by the person listed below to ensure a safe maximum temperature. Any change in the setting may raise the discharge temperature above the limit considered safe and could lead to hot water burns. If this label has not been completed, you should verify that the rotational limit stop or temperature knob has been properly adjusted to suit your individual installation. The installation instruction sheet supplied with the valve provides information on how to make this setting.

Adjusting the Rotational Limit Stop

Rotational Limit Stop

IMPORTANT: The Rotational Limit Stop is used to limit the amount of hot water available such that, if set properly, the user will not be scalded if the handle accidentally is rotated all the way to “hot” when a person is showering or filling a tub. The first position allows the LEAST amount of hot water to mix with the cold water in the system. In the first position the water will be the coldest possible when the handle is turned all the way to hot. As you move the Rotational Limit Stop counterclockwise, you progressively add more and more hot water in the mix. The last position to the left will result in the greatest amount of hot water to the mix, and the greatest risk of scald injury if someone accidentally turns the valve handle all the way to the hot side while showering or filling a tub.

for a comfortable bath or shower is typically between 90°F - 110°F.

• 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. Place the handle on the stem (see page 6, step 4D) and rotate the handle counterclockwise until the handle stops. • Place a thermometer in a plastic tumbler and hold in the water stream. If the water temperature is above 120°F, the Rotational Limit Stop must be repositioned clockwise to decrease valve outlet water temperature to be less than 120°F or to meet the requirements of your local plumbing codes.

• To adjust the temperature of the water coming out of the valve, pull the disc back to a position where it is possible to remove the

17 Series Installation

Installation and Adjustment of the Rotational Limit Stop

Place the temperature control knob (1) on volume handle and rotate to the mixed position (if required). DO NOT SECURE WITH SCREW. Turn on water supplies; let the water run until both hot and cold water is as hot/cold as possible. Place thermometer in a plastic tumbler, and hold the tumbler in the water stream. Record the temperature reading.

If the water temperature is above 120°F, remove the temperature control knob (1) and rotate the limit stop (2) clockwise one tooth for every 4°F - 6°F (approximate) change in temperature. If water temperature is cooler than desired, rotate the limit stop counterclockwise.

IMPORTANT: The first position of the Rotational Limit Stop (the Limiter) is that position that restricts the rotation of the stem the most and is at the maximum clockwise setting. According to industry standards, the maximum allowable temperature of the water exiting from the valve is 120o F. This temperature may vary in your local area. The Rotational Limit Stop may need to be readjusted if the inlet water temperature changes. For instance, during the winter, the cold water temperature is colder than it is during the summer which could result in varying outlet temperatures. Typical temperature for a comfortable bath or shower is between 90o–110o F.

Secure temperature control knob (1) with screw (2) and snap control cover (3) onto knob. NOTE: Secure screw until handle wobble is reduced, DO NOT FULLY TIGHTEN. Overtightening will result in difficulty to operate temperature control knob. Screw is self locking.
