Commissioning

The valve has been factory set under 
balance pressures and hot water supply  
at 65°C. 
When your specific operating conditions 
are significantly different from above, the 
temperature of the water may vary from the 
setting.
When the difference is too great, you can 
adjust the calibration of the valve to suit 
individual requirements of the installation:
1. Check the temperature of the water 
being delivered from the outlet with a 
thermometer, when the temperature control 
handle is located at 6 o’clock.

Note:

 temperature readings should be taken 

at normal flow rate after allowing for the 
system to stabilise.
2. If the temperature is not 38°C proceed to 
reset the calibration as follows:
Remove the temperature control handle 

(see fig.1)

Ensure the step on the stop ring is located at 
4 o’clock 

(see fig.2)

.

Do not remove the stop ring. Turn the spline 
of the thermostatic valve clockwise to 
decrease the temperature and anti-clockwise 
to increase the temperature until 38°C is 
achieved at outlet.

Note:

 the sensing part of the thermometer 

probe must be fully submerged in the water 
that is to be tested.
Replace the temperature control handle 
ensuring that the lever is located at 6 o’clock 

(see fig.3)

.

With the handle attached ensure the 

temperature does not exceed 42°C when 

turned anti-clockwise to the fully hot 

position 

(see fig.4)

.

Your valve setting is now commissioned.
