Expert Insight:
The 1770-HOTABCP is a "straight" valve, meaning the water enters and exits in a linear path—perfect for vertical wall-mount supply lines. Unlike the angle valves (1769 series), this model is ideal when your piping runs directly behind the wall toward the spout. Installation Tip: Because this is a concealed valve, the depth at which you set the rough-in body is critical; ensure you follow the mounting templates so the canopy handle sits flush against the finished wall. Pro Tip: This valve uses the 217-XTLHJKABNF slow compression cartridge. If you find the handle requires too many turns to shut off, you can actually retrofit this body with a Quaturn™ 1/4-turn cartridge for faster operation.
