            | RH08W Rough-In Valve Installation Check 
                
                Locate the RH08W rough-in valveIdentify the valve installed in the wall or designated plumbing area.
                Measure the installation depthUsing a measuring tool, check that the valve is installed at a depth of 2-5/8".
 Refer to distance 'A' in the rough-in instructions for guidance.
                Confirm proper depth 
                If the valve is installed at 2-5/8", proceed with the standard installation process.If the valve is not installed at 2-5/8", go to Section 2 for alternate instructions.

                Identify the long stem cartridgeLocate the cartridge that requires the plastic adaptor. Ensure it is the correct long stem model.
                Prepare the plastic adaptor (A1220)Remove the adaptor from its packaging and inspect it for any damage or debris.
                Align the adaptor with the cartridgePosition the A1220 adaptor so that it matches the shape and orientation of the long stem cartridge.
                Install the adaptorSlide or press the plastic adaptor A1220 onto the long stem cartridge until it is securely seated.
                Verify the fitEnsure the adaptor is properly installed and flush with the cartridge. There should be no gaps or loose movement.

            | Handle Fit and Gap Measurement 
                
                Locate the long stem cartridgeEnsure the long stem cartridge is properly installed and accessible.
                Select the correct handleUse the handle intended for the long stem configuration.
                Fit the handle onto the long stemGently place or slide the handle onto the long stem cartridge until it is seated in position.
                Check alignment and seatingMake sure the handle is aligned correctly and sits flush without forcing it.
                Measure the gapUsing a ruler or caliper, measure the gap between the back of the handle and the finished wall surface (or trim plate, if applicable).
                Record or assess the gapNote the measurement to ensure it falls within acceptable installation tolerances.

                Fit the handle onto the long stemTemporarily place the handle on the stem to assess the required length.
                Measure the gapMeasure the distance between the handle and the finished wall or trim surface.
                Mark the correct cutting pointBased on the measured gap, mark the stem where it needs to be cut.
 ⚠️ Tip: Measure twice to ensure accuracy.
                Cut the stemCarefully cut the stem at the marked point.
 ⚠️ Do not cut the stem too short—this may affect handle functionality.
 
 Installing the Handle 
                
                Thread the handle flange onto the valve bodyAlign the handle flange and thread it directly onto the valve body.
                Hand-tighten the flangeTighten the flange by hand until it is secure.
 ⚠️ Do not over-tighten—this can cause the handle to become stiff during operation.

            | Ordering Adaptors and Discarding Old Parts 
                Order one set of adaptors:Part number 219599Part number C5590 
                Check the installation depth (Distance 'A')
                Measure the depth labeled as 'A' in the rough-in instructions.
                If Distance 'A' is between 3.8" and 4.2"Order an additional set of C5590 adaptors (total of 2 sets of C5590). Discarding Old Components 
                Remove and discard the original all-thread parts:Part number 7332Part number 7331

 Replacing Brass Adaptor 
                
                Identify the existing brass adaptor Locate the current brass adaptor installed in the valve assembly.
                Confirm it is the original version Ensure the adaptor is the older model without additional threads.
                Remove the original brass adaptor Carefully unthread and remove the existing adaptor from the valve body.
                Prepare the replacement adaptor (Part #219599) Inspect the new 219599 brass adaptor, which includes additional threads for improved installation.
                Install the 219599 brass adaptor Thread the new adaptor onto the valve body until it is securely seated.
                Verify proper installation Ensure the adaptor is aligned correctly and fully threaded without cross-threading.

            | Installing Threaded Sleeve Adaptors Based on Depth 
                
                Measure the depth from the rough centerline to the finished wallThis is referred to as Distance 'A' in the rough-in instructions.
                Determine the required adaptors based on the measured depth: 
                If Distance 'A' is between 3.8" and 4.2":Install a combination of C5590 and 219599 threaded sleeve adaptors.You will need 2 sets of C5590 adaptors to accommodate the extended depth.If Distance 'A' is between 2.375" and 2.7":No adaptors are needed.Do not install C5590 or 219599 adaptors. Proceed with the remaining installation steps based on the configuration used  
 Handle Installation 
                
                Position the handleAlign the handle with the valve stem, ensuring it is properly seated.
                Thread the handle onto the valve bodyBegin threading the handle flange directly onto the valve body.
                Hand-tighten the handleTurn the handle by hand until it is snug and secure.
 ⚠️ Do not over-tighten—this may cause the handle to become stiff during operation.
                Test the handleRotate the handle to confirm smooth operation and proper alignment.
