Before You Begin (cont.)
Determine the correct water heater size and capacity for your
installation. A typical shower installation uses an approximate
mix of 75% hot water and 25% cold. A custom shower application
using three 2-1/2 gpm (9.5 lpm) showerheads can use about 45
gallons (170 liters) of hot water in 8 minutes. Choose a water
heater large enough for your installation.
The valve is calibrated to 104°F (40°C) at the first stop position.
The maximum temperature limit stop is positioned so the outlet
water temperature does not exceed 120°F (49°C).
The factory calibrated pressure for hot and cold water inlets is
43-1/2 psi (3 kg/cm squared). The factory calibrated hot water
supply temperature is 149°F (65°C) and the cold water supply
temperature is 59°F (15°C).
If the inlet conditions differ from those used during factory
calibration, it may be necessary to re-calibrate the valve after
installation. The installer must check the mixed flow
temperature after installation and adjust the valve as needed
according to the instructions.
This valve complies with ASME A112.18.1, ASSE 1016, and CSA
B125. The valve is listed with ASSE, CSA, and IAPMO/UPC.
If possible, flush all piping thoroughly before installing the valves
to prevent early clogging of filter screens.
