Información de seguridade
Importante: Always turn off the main water supply before attempting any installation, maintenance, or repair work. Failure to do so may result in water damage or personal injury. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified professional plumber to ensure compliance with local plumbing codes and proper functionality. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses, during installation.
Configuración e instalación
The Riobel TRUTM45PN is a trim-only product, meaning it requires a compatible rough-in valve for complete functionality. The following rough-in valves are required: R45, R45-SPEX, or R45-EX. This trim is designed for wall-mount, centerset installation.
Pasos previos á instalación:
- Ensure the main water supply to the installation area is completely shut off.
- Verify that the correct rough-in valve (R45, R45-SPEX, or R45-EX) is already installed and properly secured within the wall.
- Inspect all components of the trim kit for any damage or missing parts.
Procedemento de instalación:
While specific steps may vary slightly based on your rough-in valve model, the general procedure involves:
- Carefully align the trim plate with the rough-in valve and secure it using the provided screws.
- Install the thermostatic/pressure balance coaxial cartridge into the rough-in valve body. Ensure it is seated correctly.
- Attach the single lever handle to the cartridge stem, ensuring proper orientation for the 6-position operation.
- Test all connections for leaks by slowly turning on the main water supply.

Instrucións de funcionamento
The Riobel TRUTM45PN valve trim features a single lever handle that controls both water temperature and flow, as well as output selection. The thermostatic/pressure balance coaxial cartridge with check valves ensures a consistent water temperature and protects against scalding due to sudden pressure changes.
Handle Positions:
The handle operates in 6 distinct positions, allowing for precise control over water flow and output selection:
- OFF: Sen fluxo de auga.
- Posición 1: Activates output 1 (e.g., showerhead).
- Posicións 1 e 2: Activates both output 1 and output 2 simultaneously.
- Posición 2: Activates output 2 (e.g., hand shower).
- Posicións 2 e 3: Activates both output 2 and output 3 simultaneously.
- Posición 3: Activates output 3 (e.g., body jets or tub spout).
Axuste de temperatura:
Rotate the handle to adjust the water temperature. Typically, rotating counter-clockwise increases hot water, and clockwise increases cold water. The thermostatic function will maintain your desired temperature even if water pressure fluctuates.
Mantemento
Regular cleaning and inspection will help maintain the appearance and functionality of your Riobel valve trim.
Limpeza:
- Clean the brushed finish with a soft, damp pano.
- Evita usar produtos de limpeza abrasivos, produtos químicos agresivos ou estropajos, xa que poden danar o acabado.
- Para manchas difíciles, use unha solución de xabón suave e enxágüe ben.
Inspección:
- Periodically check for any signs of leaks around the trim plate or handle base.
- Ensure the handle operates smoothly through all 6 positions.
- If you notice a significant change in water temperature stability or flow, the coaxial cartridge may require inspection or replacement by a qualified professional.
