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.
Checking Cold Water Shut-Off (Cont.)
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.

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:
While allowing water to flow through the controller:
1. Remove screw #1.
2. With a
5
/
32
allen key, turn adjusting screw #2
counterclockwise to increase temperature or
clockwise to decrease temperature.
3. When temperature is correct, replace screw #1.
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.

Caution:
The liner and plunger cannot be dropped
please handle carefully. The liner must be inserted
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 reas-
sembly, the smaller diameter must be inserted first
through bottom plug opening.
