COMMISSIONING OF THE VALVE

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 entire procedure should 
be read through thoroughly prior to the commissioning of the 
valve. A calibrated digital thermometer having rapid response 
time with maximum temperature hold, a small flat bladed 
screwdriver, 3mm Allen key and the adjusting key (supplied with 
the Aquablend 1500) will be required to check and set the outlet 
mixed temperature of the valve.

Ensure all outlets that will be serviced by the valve have 

adequate warning signs posted to ensure that no outlet is used 
during commissioning.

Open the cold supply line to the valve, then open the hot supply 

line, ensuring there are no leaks. 

Open the outlet that is serviced by the shortest length of pipe 

work between the mixing valve and outlet fixture.

Allow the mixed outlet to flow for at least 60 seconds to allow 

the temperature to stabilise before taking a temperature reading 
at the outlet with a digital thermometer. The flow rate should be 
at least 2L/min. The flow rate can be checked with the aid of 
a known size container and a stopwatch, or Enware Flow-Cup 
(ATMS1201). The temperature should be taken at the closest 
outlet served by the thermostatic mixing valve. 

If the outlet temperature requires adjustment please follow steps 

below.

TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT

1. Using a small flat bladed screw driver, lever the Red Lock 

Shield (protective cover) off the valve. SEE IMAGE 5  
(over page)

2. Loosen the temperature adjustment locking grub screw 

located on the hex of the top cap using 3mm Allen Key. SEE 
IMAGE 6

  If the grub screw is not easily accessible, relocate the grub 

screw to the most accessible screw hole (3 screw holes are 
provided on the top cap for convenience). Leave the grub 
screw loose.
