RH08W Rough-In Valve Installation Check
-
Locate the RH08W rough-in valve
Identify the valve installed in the wall or designated plumbing area.
-
Measure the installation depth
Using 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.
-
Discard outdated components
Remove and discard the original all-thread versions:
- Part number 7-332
- Part number 7-331

Installation Steps: Plastic Adaptor A1220
-
Identify the long stem cartridge
Locate 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 cartridge
Position the A1220 adaptor so that it matches the shape and orientation of the long stem cartridge.
-
Install the adaptor
Slide or press the plastic adaptor A1220 onto the long stem cartridge until it is securely seated.
-
Verify the fit
Ensure 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 cartridge
Ensure the long stem cartridge is properly installed and accessible.
-
Select the correct handle
Use the handle intended for the long stem configuration.
-
Fit the handle onto the long stem
Gently place or slide the handle onto the long stem cartridge until it is seated in position.
-
Check alignment and seating
Make sure the handle is aligned correctly and sits flush without forcing it.
-
Measure the gap
Using 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 gap
Note the measurement to ensure it falls within acceptable installation tolerances.

|
Stem Cutting and Handle Installation
-
Fit the handle onto the long stem
Temporarily place the handle on the stem to assess the required length.
-
Measure the gap
Measure the distance between the handle and the finished wall or trim surface.
-
Mark the correct cutting point
Based on the measured gap, mark the stem where it needs to be cut.
⚠️ Tip: Measure twice to ensure accuracy.
-
Cut the stem
Carefully 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 body
Align the handle flange and thread it directly onto the valve body.
-
Hand-tighten the flange
Tighten the flange by hand until it is secure.
⚠️ Do not over-tighten—this can cause the handle to become stiff during operation.

Section 2: TAM06 and TAM08: RH08W is not installed at a depth of 2-5/8" (distance A)
|
Ordering Adaptors and Discarding Old Parts
- Order one set of adaptors:
- Part number 219599
- Part 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 7332
- Part 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 wall
This 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 handle
Align the handle with the valve stem, ensuring it is properly seated.
-
Thread the handle onto the valve body
Begin threading the handle flange directly onto the valve body.
-
Hand-tighten the handle
Turn 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 handle
Rotate the handle to confirm smooth operation and proper alignment.
