The Series 430 Hydroguard thermostatically blends hot and
cold water to deliver mixed water at the desired temperature,
compensating for temperature, pressure, and flow changes in
the supply lines, and reduces flow upon water supply failure.
The delivery is adjustable between 40°F and 160°F (4-71°C).

operation, hot water should be at least 15°F (8°C) above desired set point.

WARNING: TO INSURE THE ACCURATE AND RELIABLE
OPERATION OF THIS PRODUCT, IT IS ESSENTIAL TO:

• Properly size each valve based on the individual application

• Properly design the recirculation system to minimize pressure

and temperature variations

• Conduct an annual maintenance program to insure proper

operation of all critical components

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH PROPER INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS COULD CONTRIBUTE TO VALVE FAILURE,
RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH.

Table 1, Capacity Tables, present the Hydroguard discharge capacity in GPM and I/m for various pressure differentials (the difference
between the lowest inlet pressure and the discharge pressure at the Hydroguard).

Typical Flow
Hot and cold water supplies enter Hydroguard at indicated ports,
(see Figure 1) then flow past their respective balanced poppet plug
and seats. Next, hot and cold water flow is directed to the mixing
chamber where the thermostatic actuator is located.
Temperature adjustment knob moves the actuator to determine the
discharge temperature.
With a rise in discharge temperature due to pressure or tempera-
ture fluctuation on the inlet, the actuator expands, decreasing flow
of hot water. The reverse occurs with a drop in discharge tempera-
ture.

• Cold water supply failure – causes actuator to expand allowing

the motor to seat hot water poppet.

• Hot water supply pressure failure – causes actuator to contract

allowing return spring to seat cold water poppet.
