Flow Chart

Installation
  • Refer to Technical Area for installation guide.
  • Valve must be fitted by a qualified plumber.
  • Installation must comply to local authority requirements.
  • Standard tempering valves are designed to be installed close to the water heater, or at an acceptable distance from a plumbing fixture. Do NOT install a standard tempering valve at point of use.
  • TV15P should be used as a point of use tempering valve.
  • Valve may be installed horizontally or vertically.
  • Flush pipes prior to fitting.
  • Valve must be protected by a filter.
  • Connections are H (hot inlet), C (cold inlet) and MIX (mixed outlet).
  • Do not apply heat near valve during installation, this may damage element.
  • Do not install in outlet of cylinder.
  • Provide minimum 150mm heat loop.
  • Balanced pressure recommended, unequal up to 5.1 (cold to hot) ratio, non-return must be fitted to hot inlet.
  • Cylinder thermostat setting must be set 10°C above valve outlet temperature (minimum cylinder temperature 65°C).
  • Non-returns are required on hot and cold inlets for ring main installations.
Temperature Adjustment

Using screwdriver in slot provided, remove cap. To decrease temperature turn adjusting screw clockwise (C), to increase temperature turn anticlockwise (H). Replace cap. Tempering valve comes factory set at 55°C, 45˚C for childhood centres, schools, old peoples homes and hospitals.
