Turn off the water to the house.  The valve DOES NOT have factory stops.

Shut water supply to the faucet off: Important: Turn off the water supply at the faucet before starting. You can either turn off the main supply to the house or close the shut-off valves if the faucet is equipped with them. Then open the faucet again to empty it of residual water. Failure to do so could result in flooding or injury. 
To flush the valve through the body:
1.  Remove the face plate.  Remove the two face plate screws 9.24855 to remove the dome and lever.
  • On the U.5555, remove the volume control assembly 9.12557 before removing the faceplate
  • Do not disassemble the thermostatic handle and dome.  The cartridge cannot be accessed through the dome
2.  Unscrew the hot and cold supply nuts to access the screens.  9.31556 screens - 9.03559 nut.
