Circulator Pumps 

The circulator pump shall be a wet rotor small circulator with a cast iron, stainless steel, 

brass or polymer body and a metal or polymer impeller.  The pump motor shall be 

induction or permanent magnet ECM driven.  The pump shall be rated for: maximum fluid 

temperatures of no less than 180

o

F and pressures of no less than 125 PSI.  The maximum 

rated amperage shall be no more than 1.5 Amps and the maximum rated power draw shall 

be no more than 135 Watts. 

 

Thermostatic Mixing Valve 

The thermostatic mixing valve shall have a bronze, brass or stainless steel body with a 

rated maximum working temperature no less than 200

o

F and a rated maximum working 

pressure no less than 125psi.  The range of temperature set points shall be at least 18ºF 

(10ºC) and shall include a set point of 120ºF (50ºC).  The Thermostatic Mixing valve shall 

be third party listed and certified to one of the following ASSE standards: ASSE 1016; 

ASSE 1017; ASSE 1070.
