Powers PB410 Series Pressure Balancing Mixing Valves - Pressure Balancing Mixing Valve User Manual
Technical instructions

The Series PB410 HydroGuard
®
is a pressure-compensating
mixer, which delivers a predetermined water temperature,
compensating for pressure fluctuations in the hot or cold
water supplies.
The Series PB410 HydroGuard
®
features heavy, cast brass
construction a poppet-type equalizing valve as part of a
replaceable cartridge. The poppet-type construction offers
a distinct advantage in that it will not stick because of lime
build-up or foreign particles in the supplies. The adjustable
metal-to-metal temperature limit stop prevents accidental
scalding caused by over adjustment of the handle. It also
features integral check stops, back-to-back and shallow wall
installation capability.

Technical Instructions

Model PB41700000
Hot and cold water enter their respective ports and the
pressures are equalized through the action of the balance
poppet. The entire balancing poppet assembly is contained
in a Celcon cartridge. After the hot and cold pressures are
equalized, they are mixed by the action of a mixing plate. As
the temperature adjustment stem is rotated from shutoff to
maximum hot water temperature, the mixing plate passes
the required proportion of hot and cold water to produce the
control point. With the adjustment stem in its full clockwise
position, shutoff is obtained by closing both supplies.
The temperature limit stop allows the user to set the maxi-
mum discharge temperature. This mixer does not recognize
supply water temperature changes, so any variation in the
water temperature will affect the control point and the maxi-
mum temperature setting.
