Thermostrip Installation

Clean pipe and firmly apply Thermostrip on mix outlet of
valve. Flow water and adjust mixed outlet temperature for
desired setting range. Actual mixed water temperature is
indicated in green with 2° F (1° C) increments. Blue means
slightly lower and brown means slightly higher.
WARNING
Water Temperature above 120°F (49° C) can cause
serious injury. Mixing valve temperature setting
should be done by licensed contractor per local
code requirement. To ensure correct temperature
control, use water thermometer at faucet outlet.
The thermal temperature indicator strip is ONE TIME USE
ONLY for initial system temperature setting. Check date code
printed on temperature strip to ensure temperature reading
accuracy.

OPERATION
The AM-1 series valve provides for automatic operation
through the use of a thermostatic element in the product. The
element will control the mixing of the hot and cold supply to
provide mixed tempered water to connected fixtures. This
provides constant water temperature under different working
conditions.

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

Hard water conditions may result in scale deposits, causing
binding of internal parts in extreme cases. Cleaning the
internal parts will usually restore the valve to proper operating
conditions. In some cases, it may be necessary to replace the
lower assembly.
To clean and/or replace the lower assembly, shut off water
and:
1. With a screwdriver, remove screw and handwheel.
2. Loosen upper nut (do not remove) to allow engaging an
adjustable wrench on lower nut. Unscrew lower nut
(counterclockwise). This removes top assembly.
3. Brass top assembly will pop up. Remove lower assem-
bly, diffuser and spring.
4. Carefully remove any scaling (calcium deposit) or for-
eign particles from valve seat and other internal parts.
Use vinegar to remove calcium. Soak parts until calcium
becomes soft and can be scrubbed and washed off. Do
not use solvents or scratch metallic / Teflon
faces.
5. Replace cleaned spring, diffuser and lower assembly
following instructions below or use new replacement kit
assembly. For correct kit number, see Table 1.
