Period Inspection/Maintenance

This valve requires periodic inspection and verification of the out-

let temperature by a licensed contractor. Corrosive water condi-

tions, hot inlet water temperature over 200°F (93°C), unauthor-

ized adjustments or repairs could render the valve ineffective for 

its intended service. Regular cleaning and checking of thermo-

stat assembly helps to maximize valve life and Tempering func-

tion. Frequency of cleaning depends on local water conditions.

NOTE:

 It is recommended that shutoff valve(s) be installed on 

the inlet(s) to facilitate service of the MMV-M1 or LFMMV-M1 

valve.

Temperature Adjustment

1.  Let the water flow for at least two minutes to allow supply 

temperature to stabilize.

2.  Calibrate the mixed water outlet temperature by placing a 

thermometer in the mixed water stream. 

3.  To adjust the setting of the valve, loosen locking cap screw 

with hex wrench, see Figure 4. Cap must be lifted

" to 

adjust temperature. To increase the temperature, turn coun-

terclockwise. To decrease temperature turn clockwise.

4. Lower handle and tighten screw.
5. Check outlet temperature.

*Important: To prolong the life of the series MMV and LFMMV 

when used in an ASSE 1017 application, it is recommended that it 

be trapped as shown; i.e. the hot water inlet to the MMV or LFMMV 

should be 8"-12" (200-305mm) below the hot water supply feed.
