We get a lot of tech support calls asking about proper piping of a point-of-distribution master mixing valve when a domestic hot water system has a recirculation pump. Unfortunately, there are a...
The new long 3/4" press tailpiece was developed mainly for two purposes: 1) the need for a 3/4" press fitting with integral check valve and 2) to provide...
A slip nut is used to connect a tailpiece to a valve body when the nut inside diameter is too small to fit over the outer diameter body of the tailpiece. Examples are shown on page 75 of the...
The most basic, and typically the most economical, way to design a hydronic system for multiple temperatures is to use thermostatic mixing valves. This relatively simple concept can easily become...
Best practice is to pump away from the mixing valve, not into it. Connect the suction side of the pump to the mixed outlet port of the valve. This will assure proper flow direction and balanced...
Domestic water applications, particularly in North America, are challenging because our water can be very hard (have a high mineral content) compared to Europe. Our colleagues...
