Function

The Caleffi MixCal™ three-way thermostatic mixing valve is used in 

systems producing domestic hot water or in hydronic and radiant 

heating systems. With the unique mixing chamber design, MixCal™ 

produces very stable mixed water temperture as inlet temperatures 

and pressures vary. Scale formation is minimized with anti-scale 

polymer sliding surfaces, preventing siezing or erratic mixed 

temperatures. O-ring seals made from durable peroxide-cured EPDM 

resist wear from common water treatment  additives such as chlorine 

and chloramines.
