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 Return loop assembly to be installed as close to building supply as
possible to prevent/minimize pressure fluctuations.
3 Connect inlets, outlets and check for leaks
4 Temperature Adjustment;
i) Turn off recirculation pump
ii) Open enough fixtures to meet minimum flow requirement of:
LFMM431 = 3 GPM (11 LPM)
LFMM432 = 4 GPM (15 LPM)
LFMM433 = 5 GPM (19 LPM)
LFMM434 = 7 GPM (26 LPM)
LFMM435 = 10 GPM (38 LPM)
LFSH1432 = 1 GPM (4 LPM)
LFSH1434 = 1 GPM (4 LPM)
LFSH1435 = 5 GPM (19 LPM)
iii) Loosen temperature adjustment locknut located on top of the
bonnet
iv) Turn temperature adjustment screw (located on top of the bon-
net) counterclockwise to increase or clockwise to decrease the
outlet temperature
Allow valve temperature to settle in before making your next
adjustment
v) When desired temperature is set, tighten the locknut Turn recir-
culation pump back on Close open fixtures
5 Automatic Balancing Valve (ABV) Adjustment
i) Set ABV to full cold by turning knob to full clockwise position
ii) Open enough fixtures to meet minimum flow rate of the valve
(see above)
iii) Open ball valve and verify water is flowing.
iv) Make sure water travels through the facility and stabilizes tem-
perature at the return thermometer
v) While holding boiler return pipe, slowly rotate ABV knob coun-
terclockwise until warm water begins to flow. Stop rotating the
knob
vi) Turn all fixtures off and let the system stabilize (water must flow
through the entire recirculating loop)
vii) Monitor return temperature gauge If the temperature is less
then desired, rotate ABV knob counterclockwise If the tem-
perature is higher than desired, rotate ABV knob clockwise
After each adjustment you must allow time for the water to flow
through the entire recirculating loop
viii) At this point ABV is set
ix) Open enough fixtures to meet minimum flow of the valve.
x) Readjust tempering valve set point See step 4
xi) Check and make sure system maintains temperature Allow the
system to reach a steady state condition
