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.
