Balsamo Shower Installation Questions

How should the Balsamo mixer depth be established?

Measure from the final wall surface and include waterproofing, tile and setting materials. Follow the allowable depth specified for the supplied valve. Open Balsamo Guide

Must serviceable valve parts remain accessible?

Yes. Install the valve so its cartridge and other serviceable parts can be reached through the trim opening or specified access arrangement. Review Mixer Installation

When should the concealed valve be tested?

Flush the supplies and pressure-test the valve and outlet connections before waterproofing or finished wall materials are installed. View Wall Rough-In
