To hard wire an e-Flow faucet, you must use the RP32508 Hard Wire Transformer and RP32494 Hard Wire Converter.
The water in the shower is either hot or cold; I cannot get any temperature in between. What is wrong?
The spool and sleeve, the part of the Monitor pressure balance valve that blends the hot and cold water, may not be working properly. This can be caused by mineral deposits that build up over time, resulting from hard water. To solve, follow the steps below based on your model.

How do I set the adjustable rotational limit stop on my bath or shower?
Follow these steps:
-
Let the water run until both hot and cold water is fully mixed.
-
Rotate the handle fully counterclockwise to the hottest position.
-
Place a thermometer in a plastic tumbler, and hold the tumbler in the water stream.
Do you have any special instructions for installing Monitor valves back-to-back?
Back-to-back installations require that the pressure balancing cartridge be "flipped" or rotated 180 degrees in order for both units to function properly. Flipping the cartridge will reverse the hot and cold water supply lines so that the faucet works like a traditional hot/cold unit. The cartridge may also be flipped to correct a hot/cold reversal resulting from connecting the supply lines to the incorrect sides of the valve.

Why is there no o-ring on the nipple for the sprayer of my new Model 156, 172, or 174?
The nipple for the sprayer doesn't have an o-ring. The two hoses for the sprayer and for the spout cannot be interchanged which would cause the spray to not function. The o-ring for the sprayer and a spacer are inside the housing of the sprayer hose.
My single handle kitchen faucet keeps loosening up on our sink. Why?
Most likely your sink has a very smooth underside and with use, the mounting bracket is loosening up over time. We recommend placing some emery cloth between the sink and the mounting bracket of the faucet to help give it some traction when tightened down.
