Installation begins by selecting the centerline of 2” x 4” backings studs at the factory suggested location of 42” to 48”
as shown in (Print 2). The mounting plate is secured through the use of four metal screws. Note: The wall surface must
be level on all sides of the centerline, otherwise the thermostatic system will not look level and straight when installed.

Should you need to access the rough pressure balanced valve
below the decorative cover — Please Note:
1.

The entire unit must be removed from the bath wall.

2.

Turn off the water to this system before you take it apart.

3.

Loosen all points (A) the compression nut, along with the
union nuts (4) points on the body.

4.

Remove the holding screws at top of wall bracket.

5.

Pull unit off the wall (Two people will do this easier
than one!)

6.

Set unit on floor and proceed to disassemble all decorative
parts connected to the center housing.

7.

After the trim is removed you must unthread the brass
connection at points B, C and D so you can access the
rough valve.

8.

Remove the mechanical stops, which are below the cap
nut in the center of the valve.

9.

Pay close attention to location setting of the mechanical
stops (4 and 5). The thick mechanical stop (4) regulates
cold temperature, while the thin top mechanical stop (5)
regulates the hot temperature.

10.

Loosen the four corner screws (6) and remove the valve
cover (7) with the O-ring (8). The cartridge assembly is
now exposed. (Fig 7)

11.

Pull the cartridge out. Do not damage the O-ring seals.

12.

Replace cartridge with new cartridge if necessary.

13.

Put the O-ring on the valve cover. Make sure the surface
of the valve cover, on which the O-ring will sit, and the
O-ring are both clean.

14.

Position the valve cover with stop pin facing down.
Seat the cover to the body. Do not pinch the O-ring.
The assembly should fit together with a minimum of
pressing force. Reverse Figure 8.

15.

Tighten up the cover screws, first lightly and diagonally,
and then more firmly.

16.

Close the valve by turning the cartridge stem clockwise.
Position the mechanical stops as shown in figure 6 over the
cartridge stem and push it into place. Thread on the cap
nut and the stem extension with All Thread; then you are
ready for the trim.

17.

Put trim back on and reinstall on the wall as originally done.

Maintenance
This cartridge is designed for minimum maintenance in normal domestic use. If a malfunction occurs
then this will probably necessitate a complete cartridge replacement. The cartridge contains no
internally serviceable parts! Contact your installer or dealer.
To Clean trim, simply wipe gently with a damp cloth. Many household cleaners contain mild abrasives
or chemicals and should never be used for cleaning decorative faucets.

AMERICAN

AMERICAN FAUCET & COATINGS CORPORATION
LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY

AMERICAN

Product/Finish Warranty: American Faucet & Coatings Corporation warrants that products are free from defects in materials
and workmanship for five (5) years from date of invoice. In addition, our Finish Warranty provides limited LIFETIME coverage
for Chrome & PVD finishes, five (5) years for Omega powder coated finishes & Polished Gold. Living finishes are warranted
for workmanship only. If any material proves to be defective after inspection by our company, it will be repaired or replaced
at our discretion at no charge. However, no claims for labor, shipping costs, or consequential damages will be accepted.
What we will do: We will restore any product whose finish proves to be defective back to its original finish at no charge
during the appropriate warranty period stated above. Proof of purchase must be provided. After the warranty period,
American Faucet and Coatings Corporation will refinish any of its faucets at the prevailing appropriate charge.
What you must do: The faucets must be properly installed according to our instructions and specifications & are for
residential use only. The faucets cannot be altered in any way. You must maintain and clean the faucets in accordance with the instructions provided with the product. You must use the faucet(s) for residential use only.
How to obtain service: Send your name, address, and telephone number along with a statement describing the nature
of the problem and your paid sales slip or other proof of purchase to:
American Faucet & Coatings Corporation
3280 Corporate View
Vista, CA 92081
We will then contact you and take appropriate action. Do not send us any part(s) of your faucet(s) or its various
connecting hoses unless we have contacted you and have sent you an approved RGA form. All transportation
charges for returned goods must be paid by the customer.
What is not covered: This warranty does not cover the crystal/glass, or porcelain products of any faucet or the drain
assembly or aerator on other than the Chrome or PVD finishes. This warranty also does not cover damage caused by
accident, alterations, misuse, abuse, normal wear and tear, lime deposits, direct exposure to salty air or corrosive
materials, or the color change that takes place with the passage of time, or use in any manner contrary to American
Faucet and Coatings Corporation's printed instructions. In the case of in-the-wall installations American Faucet and
Coatings Corp. will assume no liability if there is no access. In no event will we be liable for labor of any kind, incidental
or consequential damages. This warranty is extended in lieu of all other expressed or implied warranties, whether oral
or written. Many installation compounds are harmful to brass and metal finishes. The use of any lead-based or acidic
curing adhesive, silicone, mastic, or plumber's putty on or near our finished products will void the finish warranty. Use
only sealants which are neutral curing and are not reactive with metal and brass finishes. American Faucet & Coatings
Corporation reserves the right to change, modify or alter its products as deemed necessary. This warranty supersedes
any other American Faucet & Coatings Corporation warranties, whether oral or written.
Unless otherwise contrary to state law governing the purchase, American Faucet and Coatings Corporation's liability will not exceed the
wholesale price for the American Faucet and Coatings Corporation product considered defective. This warranty gives you specific legal
rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. Some states do not allow exclusion of incidental or consequential
damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
LIFETIME WARRANTY ON 1/4 TURN CERAMIC DISC CARTRIDGE
Should the ceramic disc cartridge in your faucet ever fail, American Faucet & Coatings Corporation will replace the failed
part free of charge to the original purchaser of the product. Your cost will be a $7.95 handling and mailing charge. Labor
not included. When ordering replacements, denote for widespread or centerset lavatory, Roman Tub, or other. Include
age of faucet. (This does not include thermostatic, pressure balance, or diverter cartridges.)

CONSUMER WARNING
CALIFORNIA PROPOSTION 65 WARNING
Among other chemicals known to cause harm, this faucet contains lead, a chemical
known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.
All faucets and products made of leaded brass alloys, even those that comply with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
regulations, contribute small amounts of lead to water that is allowed to stand in contact with the brass. This faucet complies
with all E.P.A. regulations regarding the amount of lead used in plumbing brass and solder. The amount of lead contributed
by any faucet is highest when the faucet is new. The following steps will reduce potential for exposure to lead from faucets
and other parts of the plumbing system:
• Always run the water for a few seconds prior to use for drinking or cooking.
• Use only cold water for drinking or cooking.
• If you wish to flush the entire plumbing system of water that has been standing in the pipes or other fittings,
run the cold water until the temperature of the water drops, indicating water coming from the outside main.
• If you are concerned about lead in your water, have your water tested.
