INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING MANUAL

Function

The Calefﬁ SinkMixer™ thermostatic mixing valve is used in under sink

and under counter applications where the user must be protected from

the danger of scalding caused by hot water. The Calefﬁ SinkMixer, code

521201A, provides water at a safe and usable temperature in situations

where the control of the temperature of the water discharging from a

terminal ﬁtting is of the utmost importance, i.e. within hospitals, schools,

nursing homes, etc. The valve is designed to prevent the ﬂow of water

discharging from the mixed water outlet in the event of the failure of hot

or cold supply. It is compact for easy installation and includes a cold

water outlet to the ﬁxture eliminating the need for additional piping and

a tee for standard three-port mixing valves. It has integral check valves

on the hot and cold inlets and is certiﬁed to Low Lead Plumbing Law by

ICC-ES, ASSE 1070 listed (temperature cannot exceed 120°F).

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.

Thermal shutoff

In the event of a failure of the hot supply port, the piston closes the cold supply port. Similarly, if

the cold water supply fails, the piston closes the hot supply port. The Caleffi 521201A thermostatic

mixing valve requires a minimum temperature differential from hot inlet to mixed water outlet of

18°F (10°C) to ensure the correct operation of the thermal shutoff feature.

Operating principle

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

set temperature of the mixed water at the outlet. A thermostatic element is fully immersed into the

mixed water. This element 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 to restore the original

temperature setting. In the event of a failure of either the hot or cold supply, the piston will shut off,

stopping water discharging from the mixed water outlet.

Installation

The following instructions must be read prior to the installation of a Caleffi 521201A SinkMixer thermostatic

mixing valve. The installer should also be aware of his responsibility and duty of care to ensure that all

aspects of the installation comply with current regulations and legislation. The Caleffi 521201A should

be installed using the appropriate standard, code of practice and legislation applicable to each state and

following the details in this manual. The Caleffi 521201A series must be installed by a licensed plumber.

Prior to the installation of the Caleffi 521201A valve, the system must be checked to ensure that the

system operating conditions fall within the recommended operating range of the valve, i.e.

verify supply temperatures, supply pressures, risk assessments, etc.

The supply system into which the Caleffi 521201A is to be installed must be thoroughly flushed and

cleaned to remove any debris which may accumulate during the installation. Failure to remove any debris

will affect the performance and the manufacturer’s warranty on the product. In areas that are subject to

high levels of aggressive water, provision must be made to treat the water prior to it entering the valve.

The valve is recommended to be installed in a position orieinted with the cover to the right with cold inlet/

outlet on the right side (allowing direct connection to the sink’s cold water inlet fitting) resulting in the hot

inlet/mix outlet on the left aligning direct to the hot water inlet sink fitting. It is essential that the access to

the valve is not obstructed for future maintenance that may be required to the valve or associated fittings.

It is essential that when the installation is designed and/or installed, all current legislation is noted, e.g. the

maximum distance from the outlet of the valve to any terminal fitting.

The connecting hot and cold water supplies must be connected to the valve strictly in accordance with

the indications on the body of the valve. The inlets of the valves are clearly marked with the letter H (Hot)

and C (Cold). The outlet is marked with the word MIX. The valve has male 3/8” compression threads for

conection to standard 3/8” compression faucet connectors and stops.

Where one or both the incoming supply pressures are excessive, a Caleffi pressure reducing valve should

be installed to reduce the pressure(s) within the limits.

The Caleffi 521201A valve is supplied complete with the check valves at the hot and cold inlets.

Mount the 521201A valve to the wall underneath the sink with black plastic mounting bracket supplied

with valve but not attached. Use mounting screw to attach the mounting bracket to the valve to meet

the orientation described above. Break off the adjustment key for adjusting the termperature, see

commisioning section.

To ensure that the performance of the Caleffi 521201A valve is maintained (in the event of cold water

failure), the temperature of the hot water supply at the point of entry to the valve must be a minimum of

18°F higher than the set mixed water discharge temperature.

If the valve is not installed correctly, it will not function correctly and may put the user in danger.

Point of use

Commissioning

Upon completion of the installation, the valve should be tested and commissioned as per the

procedure outlined below or as specified by the local authority.

The following instructions should be read and understood prior to commissioning the Caleffi

521201A thermostatic mixing valve. If, under any circumstances, there are aspects of the

installation/system which do not comply with our requirements or the specifications as listed, the

valve must not be put into service until the installation/system does comply.

1) Ensure that the system is throughly clean and free from debris prior to commissioning the

thermostatic mixing valve.

2) Use a suitably calibrated, accurate digital thermometer to commission temperatures by

measuring the mixed water temperature at the outlet.

3) In accordance with the anti-scald requirements, water installation shall deliver hot water at

the outlet of the sanitary fixtures used primarily for personal hygiene purposes at a

temperature not exceeding 120°F (49°C) or as specified by authority having jurisdiction.

4) The temperature at the outlet of each valve must be set taking into consideration any

fluctuations which may occur within the system due to simultaneous demand.

5) Once the supply temperatures are stabilized and the normal operating conditions are

established, the valve can be commissioned. The temperature setting can be adjusted by with

the black plastic adjustment 1/4” hex key, included separately in the box.

Break off from the mounting bracket. Use the following sequence when commissioning the

valve.

a) Using a thermometer, measure the temperature of the sink faucet discharge with the

hot tap open, cold tap closed. The temperature should not exceed the temperature

allowed by the applicable standard or code of practice for each state.

b) Adjust mixing valve to desired faucet discharge temperature, with provided 1/4” hex

key.

c) Perform the thermal shut-off test. Isolate the cold water supply to the Caleffi valve

and monitor the mixed water temperature. The outlet flow should quickly cease

flowing.

d) Restore the cold water supply to the valve and measure and record the outlet

temperature after the mixed water temperature has stabilized. The final temperature

found during this test should not exceed the permitted values ±3°F.

6) Once the desired temperature has been reached, remove the adjustment key and store in a

safe place that can be located if required in the future.

We recommend that the above information is recorded in the Commissioning Report and updated

on the Service Report when any work is performed on the valve.
