Stiùireadh Obrachaidh

The Phylrich Pressure Balanced Shower Rough Valve operates in conjunction with its corresponding trim kit. The rough valve itself controls the mixing of hot and cold water to maintain a consistent temperature, even with fluctuations in water pressure from other household fixtures.

• Smachd teòthachd: Rotate the handle (part of the trim kit) to adjust the water temperature. Typically, rotating counter-clockwise increases hot water, and clockwise increases cold water.
• Smachd tomhas-lìonaidh: If your trim kit includes a separate volume control, rotate or pull the handle to adjust the water flow rate.
• Diverter (mas iomchaidh): If your system includes a tub spout, use the diverter on the trim kit to switch water flow between the showerhead and the tub spout.

The pressure-balancing mechanism within the valve automatically adjusts to maintain your selected temperature, providing a comfortable and safe showering experience.
