ioDIGITAL™ OFFERS EASY, HASSLE-FREE INSTALLATION

Innovative Digital System Is As Easy to Install as It Is to Use

North Olmsted, Ohio… The foundation of the new ioDIGITAL™ system from Moen is its innovative digital valve. This unique valve is the engine which allows consumers the ability to easily control water temperature and flow with electronic precision. And while the ioDIGITAL system is extremely user friendly; its installation is completely hassle free, as well.

“In designing ioDIGITAL, our goal was to create an easy-to-use system for consumers… but just as important was our desire to address the needs of our professional plumbers and installers – and making the system just as easy to install,” said Mark Knurek, senior product manager, Moen. “The feedback we’ve heard from professionals who have installed the ioDIGITAL system is phenomenal; the overwhelming response is that it’s the easiest digital valve to install in the market today.”

What makes ioDIGITAL so easy to install?

·  All ioDIGITAL valves include push-fit connectors that work easily and quickly with traditional plumbing supply tubes (PEX, CPVC and copper).

·  The valve fits within a traditional 2-inch by 4-inch framed wall.

·  The ioDIGITAL valve plugs into a standard 110v power outlet than can be located in a linen closet, under the tub – up to 30 feet from the bathroom – for easier installation and retrofit flexibility.

·  ioDIGITAL vertical spa systems require fewer trim components (handles/knobs) to install, and only one valve.

·  Adjusting the maximum temperature allowable is easily done on ioDIGITAL valves via a dial control. Such calibration of standard thermostatic cartridges is a more time-consuming process.

·  The valve does not need ventilation; but should be mounted in an interior wall to eliminate extreme temperature conditions.

·  A minimum 14 ½-inch by 30-inch access panel is required; and the valve must be installed with the front facing the access panel.

The Moen ioDIGITAL system is certified to cUPC with applicable standards ASSE 1016 and ASME A112.18.IM/CSA B125.I (shower valves), CSA B125.3 9 (roman tub valves),

ASSE1070 (roman tub valves) and UL1951. All ioDIGITAL system components are backed by a five-year limited warranty, and the finishes and mechanical components feature a Lifetime Limited Warranty.
