Cleaners for Fittings and Accessories
To avoid damaging the surface and working components of the ttings, certain precautions must be taken
in terms of usage and subsequent cleaning as many cleaning agents contain acids for general cleaning and
removing calcium deposits. When caring for your ttings and accessories, please note the following:
- Only apply cleaners which are expressly intended for the use
- Never use any cleaner containing hydrochloric acid, formic acid or acetic acid on or near the tting, as they can
cause considerable damage even with just one application
- Do not use cleaners containing phosphoric acid
- Do not use cleaners containing chlorine bleach solutions
- Never mix or combine cleaning agents
- Abrasive cleaners and unsuitable scouring agents such as scouring pads.

QRI-0910 Thermostatic Mixing Valve
Attention — Before Installation
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 not factory preset and can be adjusted to deliver scalding temperatures. Check outlet
temperature 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
Need for Periodic Inspection and Yearly Maintenance:
Periodic inspection and yearly maintenance by a licensed contractor is required. Corrosive water
conditions and/or unauthorized adjustments or repair could render the valve ineective for service
intended. Regular checking and cleaning of the valve’s internal components and check stops helps
assure maximum life and proper product function. Frequency of cleaning and inspection depends upon
local water conditions.
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.

QRI-0910 Thermostatic Mixing Valve
Installation
Valve should be installed and adjusted by a licensed contractor in accordance with local codes and
ordinances. Further, this valve should be installed in a location where it is accessible for cleaning, service
or adjustment.
1. Close both the hot and cold water shutoff valves upstream nearest to the intended installation.
2. Bleed the remaining water from the system.
3. Connect the water supply to valve as shown in Figure 1 (page 11). Supply piping must be flushed
clean before making connections to the valve.
4. Valve can be installed in any position. The inlet hot supply is to be connected to the “H” side of the
valve, the cold supply side to the “C” side and the mixed water outlet to the “M” side.
5. Make sure union nuts are placed over tailpieces prior to soldering threading to pipe or using w/press.
6. For valves with Quick-Connect tailpieces refer to “Quick-Connect Installation” instructions (page 13)
NOTICE:
To prevent damage to valve from excessive heat during soldering, remove unions and gaskets
from valve body prior to soldering.
7. After soldering, ush piping and install valve using lter washer on hot and cold water inlet and
ber washer on the mixed water outlet.
8. Start-up: Open cold water supply, then hot water supply. Inspect for leaks.
Important:
9. Adjust temperature to desired setting (refer to Figure 3 - page 12). Recommend a maximum
temperature of 105°F (41°C) for shower and bathing xtures.
*The wetted surface of this product contacted by consumable water contains less than 0.25% of lead by weight.
WARNING
For valves with CPVC or PEX end connections, do not exceed the tubing manufacturers pressure and
temperature ratings. Refer to the tubing manufacturers product specications for that information.
