Low lead high-flow thermostatic mixing valves

NA10341.03

ASSE 1017

Function

The thermostatic mixing valve is used in systems producing domestic

hot water or in radiant heating systems. Its function is to maintain the

temperature of the mixed water supplied to the user at a constant set

value when there are variations in the supply pressure and temperature

of the incoming hot and cold water or in the ﬂow rate.

The 5231 series thermostatic mixing valves are ASSE 1017 approved for

point of distribution and are designed speciﬁcally for systems requiring

high flow rates and precise, stable temperature control. Optional

stainless steel inlet port check valves are available separately, for ﬁeld

installation only.

Product range

SAFETY INSTRUCTION

This safety alert symbol will be used in this manual to draw attention to safety related instructions.

When used, the safety alert symbol means ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN A SAFETY HAZARD.

CAUTION: If the thermostatic mixing valve is not installed, commissioned and

maintained properly, according to the instructions contained in this

manual, it may not operate correctly and may endanger the user.

CAUTION: Make sure that all the connecting pipework is water tight.

CAUTION: When making the water connections, make sure that the

pipework connecting the thermostatic mixing valve is not mechanically

over-stressed. Over time this could cause breakages, with consequent

water losses which, in turn, could cause harm to property and/or people.

CAUTION: Water temperatures higher than 100°F can be dangerous. During

the installation, commissioning and maintenance of the thermostatic mixing

valve, take the necessary precautions to ensure that such temperatures do

not endanger people.

Leave this manual for the user.

CAUTION: To prevent any damage which will cause the electronic mixing

valve to not operate correctly, treat highly aggressive water before entering the

thermostatic mixing valve.

ATTENTION: Lorsque vous effectuez les raccordements d'eau, assurez-vous

que la tuyauterie reliant le termostatico regolabile n'est pas mécaniquement

des overstressed. Au fil du temps, ceci pourrait causer des ruptures, avec

pour consequence des pertes en eau qui, à leur tour, peuvent causer des

dommages à la propriété et/ou les gens.

Operating principle

A thermostatic mixing valve mixes hot and cold water in such a way as to maintain a constant set

temperature of the mixed water at the outlet.

A thermostatic element is fully immersed into the mixed water. It then contracts or expands causing

movement of the piston, closing either the hot or cold inlets, regulating the flow rates entering the

valve. If there are variations of temperature or pressure at the inlets, the internal element automatically

reacts attempting to restore the original temperature setting.

The Calefﬁ 5231 series mixing valves require a minimum temperature differential from hot inlet

to mixed water outlet of 20°F (11°C) to ensure the correct operation, and maximum pressure

difference between the hot and cold inlet parts no greater than 2:1 ratio. Softened water use is highly

recommended as the warranty is voided if used on water with hardness greater than 10 grains.

Use

Calefﬁ 5231 series thermostatic mixing valves are designed to be installed at the hot water

heater and cannot be used for tempering water temperature at ﬁxtures as a point-of-use

valve. They are not designed to provide scald protection or chill protection service and

should not be used where ASSE 1070 devices are required. Wherever a scald protection

feature is required, ASSE 1070 certiﬁed mixing valves need to be installed. For safety

reasons, it is advisable to limit the maximum mixed water temperature to 120°F.

Instantaneous production of hot water

Calefﬁ 5231 series thermostatic mixing valves are designed for use on domestic water heaters that

have storage. The valve may deliver ﬂuctuating mixed temperatures when used on instantaneous

domestic water heaters.

Installation

Before installing a Calefﬁ 5231 series thermostatic mixing valve, the system must be inspected to

ensure that its operating conditions are within the range of the mixing valve, checking, for example,

the supply temperature, supply pressure, etc.

Systems where the Calefﬁ 5231 series thermostatic mixing valve is to be installed must

be drained and cleaned out to remove any dirt or debris which may have accumulated

during installation.

Failure to remove dirt or debris may affect performance and the manufacturer’s product

guarantee. Softened water use is highly recommended as the warranty is voided if used

on water with hardness greater than 10 grains.

The installation of ﬁlters of appropriate capacity at the inlet of the water from the mains

supply is always advisable.

In areas which are subject to highly aggressive water, arrangements must be made to

treat the water before it enters the valve.

Calefﬁ 5231 series thermostatic mixing valves must be installed in accordance with the diagrams

in this manual, taking into account all current applicable standards.

Calefﬁ 5231 series thermostatic mixing valves can be installed in any position, either vertical or

horizontal.

The following are shown on the mixing valve body:

- Hot water inlet, “H”.

- Cold water inlet, “C”.

- Mixed water outlet, unmarked.

In systems with thermostatic mixing valves, check valves must be installed to prevent undesirable

ﬂuid backﬂow. The 5231 series valves, codes listed in this instruction sheet, do not contain integral

check valves, so those must be sourced separately. Calefﬁ offers inlet port check valve assemblies

separately, for ﬁeld installation only to 5231 series valve.

It is essential that access to the valve is totally unobstructed for any maintenance which may be

required to the valve or connections. The piping from/to the valve must not be used to support the

weight of the valve itself.

Commissioning

After installation, the valve must be tested and commissioned in accordance with the instructions

given below, taking into account current applicable standards.

1) Ensure that the system is clean and free from any dirt or debris before commissioning the

thermostatic mixing valve. Be sure water hardness is less than 10 grains.

2) It is recommended that the temperature is set using a suitable calibrated digital thermometer.

The valve must be commissioned by measuring the temperature of the mixed water at the outlet.

3) The maximum outlet temperature from the valve must be set taking account of the ﬂuctuations

due to simultaneous use. It is essential for these conditions to be stabilized before commissioning.

4) Adjust the temperature using the adjusting knob on the valve. For safety reasons, it is advisable

to limit the maximum mixed water temperature to 120°F in domestic hot water systems.

Maintenance

Service tests should be carried out regularly to monitor the mixing valve performance, as deterioration

of performance could indicate that the valve and/or the system require maintenance. If, during

these tests, the temperature of the mixed water has changed signiﬁcantly in comparison with the

previous test, the details given in the installation and commissioning sections should be checked

and maintenance carried out.

The following aspects should be checked regularly to ensure that the optimum performance levels

of the valve are maintained. Every 12 months at least, or more often if necessary.

1) Check and clean the system ﬁlters.

2) Check that any non-return valves positioned upstream of the Calefﬁ valve are operating correctly,

without problems caused by impurities.

3) Limescale can be removed from internal components by immersion in a suitable de-scaling

ﬂuid.

4) When the components which can be maintained have been checked, commissioning should

be carried out again.
