1. Installation should be in accordance with acceptable plumbing
practices. Flush all piping thoroughly before installation. Installation
and field adjustment are the responsibility of the installer.
2. Valves are to be installed as close to building inlet supply as
possible to prevent/minimize pressure fluctuations.
3. Valve body can be rotated to install in multiple positions due to
union inlets (see Figure 2). Make sure that union nuts are tightened
securely.
4. Connect inlets and outlet and check for leaks.
5. When the HydroGuard supplies tempered water to self-closing and/
or solenoid valves, provide a shock absorber (Powers Part No. 460-
353) on the discharge line.
6. Before use, check discharge temperature. Reset if
necessary.
OPERATION CHECK:
After HydroGuard is installed, make certain the supply stop valves and
strainers are free of debris, clean and ready for operation by disas-
sembling checkstops as shown in servicing.
Typical Flow
Hot and cold water supplies enter HydroGuard at indicated ports, (see
Figure 1) then flow past their respective seats. Next, hot and cold water
flow is directed to the mixing chamber where the thermostatic motor is
located.
Temperature Change
With a rise in discharge temperature due to pressure or temperature
fluctuation on the inlet, the actuator expands, decreasing flow of hot
water. The reverse occurs with a drop in discharge temperature.
Responses
Temperature adjustment screw moves the actuator to the desired
discharge temperature.
• Cold water supply failure – causes actuator to expand drastically
reducing the flow of hot water
*
.
• Hot water supply pressure failure – causes actuator to contract
drastically reducing the flow of cold water
*
.
*
When tested in accordance to conditions described in ASSE 1017.
