A look at the ThermoBalance III
The ThermoBalance III has one outlet on the
bottom of the valve (outlet I) and two on the
top of the valve (outlets II & III).
Outlet I can only be run by itself. In a tub/
shower installation, the tub spout is connected
to outlet I.
Outlets II & III can be run either individually or
simultaneously.

In a three-function shower, the user must decide
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION which two functions
he/she wishes to be able to run at the same time. These two functions must be plumbed
from outlets II & III. Additionally, he/she must decide which function he/she wants to
have come on first. As the handle is turned from the “off” position, outlet II will come on
first.

Suggested Layouts - three feature systems
These are the most common installations using the ThermoBalance III valve, but are not the
only ones possible.
The handshower is plumbed to outlet 1
- it can only be run by itself. The shower-
head is on 2 and the bodyjets on 3. The
showerhead and bodyjets can be run
either individually or at the same time. The
showerhead comes on first.
In this tub/shower installation, the tub spout is
on outlet 1 and can only be run by itself. The
showerhead and handshower on outlets 2
and 3 can be run either individually or at the
same time. The showerhead comes on first.
