Operation
R298 + handwheel for manual operation
The three-way R298 mixing valve is equipped with a handwheel to allow for
manual operation, which are carried out via a simple clockwise rotation for
the valve opening and anticlockwise for closure.
Total opening of the bonnet, and therefore of the primary side supply, is
obtained by screwing down the handwheel, while unscrewing it fully frees
the thread for the drive motor connection.

R298 + K281 actuator for automatic operation
The handwheel can be replaced with a K281 actuator for automatic mixing
adjustment, in combination with electronic thermoregulation. The K281
actuator is mounted manually, by screwing the brass ring nut in a clockwise
direction until it stops. This does not require the use of any tools.

Description
The R298 mixing valve allows for the interception and mixing of heating fluid
in radiant heating and cooling systems for floors or ceilings and in medium-
size radiator heating systems that require precise control of water delivery
temperature. The R298 valve is equipped with a handwheel for manual
operation, or alternatively, it can be coupled to a K274 actuator for automatic
control.
