4. Għodod Meħtieġa
L-għodda li ġejjin huma tipikament meħtieġa għall-installazzjoni:
- Tornavit tar-ras Phillips
- Adjustable Wrench (optional, for rough-in valve adjustments if needed)
- Siġillant (kalk tas-silikon)

5. Installazzjoni / Setup
These instructions assume the PROFLO pressure-balanced rough-in valve has already been correctly installed and secured within the wall. Refer to the rough-in valve's specific installation manual for its setup.
- Ipprepara ż-Żona: Ensure the main water supply to the fixture is turned off. Remove any existing trim components if replacing an old unit. Clean the wall surface around the rough-in valve opening.
- Install Escutcheon Plate: Position the escutcheon plate (trim plate) over the rough-in valve body, aligning the screw holes. Secure the plate to the rough-in valve using the provided escutcheon screws. Tighten screws evenly until snug, but do not overtighten.
- Applika siġillant: Apply a bead of silicone sealant around the perimeter of the escutcheon plate where it meets the finished wall. This prevents water from entering the wall cavity. Leave a small gap at the bottom for drainage.
- Installa l-Assemblea tal-Manku: Slide the handle assembly onto the valve stem. Align the handle with the desired "off" position (usually pointing down or to the right). Secure the handle with the handle screw, typically located under a decorative cap or on the underside of the handle.
- Operazzjoni tat-Test: Slowly turn on the main water supply. Check for any leaks around the escutcheon plate and handle. Operate the handle to test water flow and temperature adjustment.
- Aġġusta l-Waqfien tal-Limitu tat-Temperatura (jekk applikabbli): If your rough-in valve or trim includes a temperature limit stop, adjust it according to your preference to prevent scalding. Refer to the rough-in valve manual for specific instructions on adjusting the limit stop.
6. Operazzjoni
The PROFLO PF5200 features a single lever handle for controlling both water flow and temperature.
- Tixgħel/Jitfi: Lift the handle to turn on the water flow. Push the handle down to turn off the water flow.
- Aġġusta tat-Temperatura: Rotate the handle to the left for hotter water and to the right for colder water. The pressure-balanced cartridge maintains a consistent water temperature even if there are pressure fluctuations in your hot or cold water lines.
- Aġġustament tal-Fluss: The flow rate is typically controlled by how far the handle is lifted.
7. Manutenzjoni
Regular cleaning and inspection will help maintain the appearance and functionality of your PROFLO valve trim.
- Tindif: Clean the brushed nickel finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish. Mild soap and water are recommended.
- Spezzjoni: Periodically check for leaks around the escutcheon plate and handle. If leaks occur, ensure all connections are snug.
- Sostituzzjoni tal-iskartoċċ: If you experience persistent drips, reduced flow, or difficulty adjusting temperature, the valve cartridge may need replacement. Refer to the rough-in valve's manual or contact PROFLO customer support for specific cartridge replacement instructions.
