    Hey Bobby,
    I don't really understand your question nor what you wish of us. You rough in drainage but install valves and fixtures. You simply place the valves where you want them and then pipe to them. What am I missing? Regards, tom

    Hey Tom,
    Sorry for the confusion

    Im not familiar with the use of a thermostatic valve and volume control valves and how they connect to each other ?
    What goes where first.
    This is what I think I might have to do.
    Run the hot and cold into the thermo then run outputs to the inputs on the volume control ? Im just not sure...
    The input of a volume control only has one, so is the assumption that both hot and cold from the thermo join into the one input ?

    Thanks

    Bobby

    Hey Bobby,

    These came out after I retired. I'm just as much in the dark as you are .
    However some of our plumbing experts are pretty sharp. I'll keep bumping this up and hope one of them has a answer for you. Sorry I can't help but If I don't know the answer I never attempt to fake it, I just come right out and admit it. Good luck, Tom
