1. Place a

 wooden dowel 

rod into center of thermo-

stat then place in 85° F 

water. Make a reference 

mark on the rod as shown 

in fig. A.

2. Now insert thermostat into 

hot water that is at least 

20°F higher than the set 

temperature stamped on 

label.

3. The rod should move out  

of the thermostat approxi-

no movement or can be 

pushed inward, a new ther-

mostat is required.

b. Spring #13 has lost its strength and should 

be replaced.

Note:

 Lack of water flow can be normal on the first 

test if the temperature of the cold water is 

below 75°F. A quick test is to momentarily 

turn on the hot water to warm the thermostat. 

If  flow  then  starts,  the  thermostat  is  good; 

failure to obtain flow when first starting, or 

when valve is cold, is a normal reaction.

Checking Hot Water Shut-Off

Allow full hot and cold water to flow through the 

valve for one minute. Shut off the cold water stop 

and check valve only. The hot water should be 

reduced to a negligible amount.
Failure to do so will indicate:

a. The hot water supply is not 20°F above the 

required maximum temperature setting.

b. The plunger is sticking and requires cleaning 

or replacement.

Inspection and Cleaning Valve

Shut off the hot and cold water supply to the controller. 

Remove bonnet #19. To replace pusher O-ring #18, 

remove pusher #21 from bonnet #19 and replace 

O-ring. Reassemble in reverse order.
With the bonnet assembly off the valve, remove 

thermostat #22 and check and clean (see fig. A). 

Unscrew bottom plug #14 and remove valve spring 

#13 and plunger #12 (see fig. C). If the assembly 

does not slide out, remove the plunger with liner #11 

and gently tap plunger until it becomes free. Clean 

and polish the liner and plunger with very fine em-

ery cloth until the plunger moves freely in the liner.
With the liner out of the valve, replace liner O-ring #10.

Note:

 If the piston or liner is nicked or shows signs 

of excessive wear, it should be replaced.

Caution:

 The liner and plunger cannot be dropped 

please handle carefully. The liner must be in-

serted correctly. Carefully examining the outside 

of the liner will reveal a very small difference in 

diameter between the upper half and the lower 

half. On reassembly, the smaller diameter must 

be inserted first through bottom plug opening. 

Temperature Adjustment

Valves are normally factory set for a maximum 110°F outlet 

temperature, or that stamped on the label. If it is desired 

to change this setting, proceed as follows:
1.  Turn off the recirculation pump.

2.  Create sufficient demand on the system.

3.  Turn the key to set mode. The set light and flow light 

will  illuminate  green.  If  flow  light  does  not  illuminate, 

increse the demand until it does.

4.  Press the scroll button once to indicate you want to 

make a change. Press the scroll button a second time 

to indicate you want to change the set temperature. 

Press the up and down arrows to adjust the set tem-

perature. Press the scroll button once to confirm your 

change. Press the page button to indicate all neces-

sary changes have been made. (Note: The set point 

must have a 20° temperature differential between hot 

and cold inlet temperatures and is limited to a range 

of 90-120° F).

5.  Once the set point is reached and stabilized, turn the 

key to operate mode and remove key.

Note:

 If outlet temperature desired is 15°F or more higher 

than that stamped on the label, contact the factory or 

a representative for a special thermostat.
