Installation Instructions

IS-P-e480

** With Equal Pressure

Description

n

Powers Series LFe480 are designed for lavatory applications

where the temperature of the hot water must be controlled for

safe, economic use. An advanced thermal actuator quickly

senses and compensate for outlet temperature fluctuations

induced by water temperature and pressure changes in

the supply line.

WARNING

!

Read this Manual BEFORE using this equipment.
Failure to read and follow all safety and use infor-

mation can result in death, serious personal injury,

property damage, or damage to the equipment.
Keep this Manual for future reference.

You are required to consult the local building and plumbing

codes prior to installation. If the information in this manual

is not consistent with local building or plumbing codes,

the local codes should be followed. Inquire with governing

authorities for additional local requirements.

WARNING

!

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH PROPER INSTALLATION

AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS COULD

CONTRIBUTE TO THE VALVE FAILURE, RESULTING IN

INJURY AND/OR DEATH.
TO ENSURE THE ACCURATE AND RELIABLE OPERATION

OF THIS PRODUCT, IT IS ESSENTIAL TO:
• Properly design the system to minimize pressure and

temperature variations.

• This valve is factory preset. However, it can be adjust-

ed to deliver scalding temperatures. Check outlet tem-

perature to ensure it does not exceed 105°F (41°C).

Make sure temperature limit stop is properly re-set to

maximum 105°F (41°C) following valve maintenance or

repair. Tampering with limit stop in any way may result

in scalding temperature causing serious bodily harm

and/or death.

WARNING

WARNING

!

Need for Periodic Inspection and Yearly Maintenance:

Periodic inspection and yearly maintenance by a licensed

contractor is required. Corrosive water conditions, inlet

temperatures over 200°F (93°C), and/or unauthorized adjust-

ments or repair could render the valve ineffective for ser-

vice intended. Regular checking and cleaning of the valve’s

internal components and check stops helps assure maxi-

mum life and proper product function. Frequency of clean-

ing and inspection depends upon local water conditions.
