The Webstone TMV is designed for use in heating as well as domestic water systems and provides outlet temperatures ranging between
95°–131° F. The valve may be positioned in any orientation; designated lengths of straight piping before and after the unit are not required.
The Webstone Thermostatic Mixing Valve is a SAFETY VALVE. Inspect the TMV at least once per year to verify it is operating correctly. It may
be necessary to check the valve more frequently in installations with poor or unknown water quality. Use of a lter or strainer is required for
installations with poor or unknown water quality.
IMPORTANT: Follow all federal/national, state and local codes when installing, testing or performing work on systems. All parts are covered
by a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects provided they are installed by a licensed plumber and operated under normal working
conditions. Disassembling will void this warranty. If you have any questions or comments, please contact us at [phone] or visit us
on the web - www.webstonevalves.com.
WARNING: This valve was not designed for installations exposed to subfreezing conditions; use suitable insulation if this possibility exists in your
installation. Subjecting the Webstone TMV to heat during installation may damage the valve internals. The Webstone TMV is designed for use in
water systems only. DO NOT use the TMV in steam systems. The use of excessive thread sealant may cause the Webstone TMV to fail.
INSTALLATION
1. Prepare the system for the TMV installation:
a. Flush the system thoroughly before fitting the Webstone TMV. It is critical
to ush all debris from the pipework before installing the Webstone TMV.
This step eliminates the most common cause of system difculties.
b. Check the specications of your Webstone TMV against site
parameters, such as temperature and pressure. Rectify any
conditions outside the valves specications before installation.
2. For products without integral check valves
a. Attach a union assembly to each end of the valve body.
For sweat connections with integral check valves (Series 7520 ONLY)
a. Ensure that the check valve is removed from all union connections.
b. Connect a union tting to the hot, cold and mix water lines.
c. SWT all connections, applying heat to the piping, not directly to the tting.
d. Insert a check valve (poppet end rst) and clip into the union ttings
on the hot and cold water supply lines. (see image to right)
e. Attach a union assembly to each end of the valve body.
For threaded connections with integral check valves (Series 7420 ONLY)
a. Attach a union assembly with check to each of the hot and cold valve inlets.
b. Attach the union assembly without the check to the mixed water outlet.
3. Ensure that each union nut is aligned accurately to the
valve and that washers are properly in place.
4. Connect the hot water supply line to the inlet marked HOT.
5. Connect the cold water supply line to the inlet marked COLD.
6. Connect mixed water line to outlet marked MIX, also indicated with a ow arrow.
7. Fully tighten the union assemblies at each connection.
8. Set the output to the desired temperature* by aligning the numbers on the
handle with the mark on the valve body in accordance with the table below:
Handle Marking 1234
Output
Temperature
95°F
(35°C)
109°F
(43°C)
119°F
(48°C)
131°F
(55°C)
* Output temperature may vary slightly due to seasonal changes in cold
water supply temperatures. Numbers on handle are calibrated at the time of
manufacture and should be used for initial commissioning of valve only.
9. Verify that the correct mixed water temperature is being achieved:
a. Open the nearest water outlet supplied by the TMV to a ow of 2 to 3 gpm.
It is important to test the temperature at the nearest outlet to ensure
water delivered to any outlet is not greater than the desired maximum.
b. Allow the water to reach a stable temperature and measure.
10.Turn the handle clockwise to decrease, or counter-clockwise
to increase the outlet temperature as needed.

If desired, the temperature setting can be xed on
the Webstone TMV by locking the handle in place:
1. Set and verify the mixed water temperature
2. Remove screw and handle
3. Align internal pin on handle with slot on
temperature limit stop
4. Replace handle and secure screw
NOTE: Field calibration may be needed if
handle has been removed or locked.
* Temperature limit stop slot and alignment mark
on valve body must remain aligned at all times.
Removing or tampering with the white alignment
clip will void the manufacturer’s warranty

1. As tested in accordance with ASSE1017.
2. This is the minimum difference required between the valve outlet temperature and the hot supply temperature to enable
the valve to function correctly and ensure shut-off of outlet ow in the event of cold supply failure.
3. Maximum permitted variation in either supply pressure in order to control the outlet temperature to within ±3°F.
Excessive changes in supply pressures may cause changes in outlet temperature.
SERVICING AND INSPECTION
•The Webstone Thermostatic Mixing Valve is a SAFETY VALVE. Inspect the TMV at least once per year to verify it is
operating correctly. It may be necessary to check the valve more frequently in installations with poor or unknown
water quality. Outlet temperature may vary due to seasonal changes in cold water supply temperatures.
•When testing, verify the temperature at the same water outlet measured during initial setup. Allow water temperature to
stabilize before measuring. If the temperature differs more than 3°F from initial setup, refer to the troubleshooting table below.
Problem Solution
Unable or difficult to set correct
mixed water temperature
•Ensure inlet temperatures meet TMV specications
•Ensure that hot and cold supply lines have not been reversed
•Ensure strainers are not blocked
Mixed water temperature is not
stable or changes over time
•Ensure strainers are not blocked
•Ensure supply pressures are stable. Install
pressure regulating valves to correct
Full hot or full cold water flowing from MIX outlet • Verify valve temperature setting
•Ensure that hot and cold supply lines have not been reversed
•Ensure that check valves are not clogged or damaged
•Ensure inlet temperatures meet TMV specications
No flow from MIX outlet • Ensure adequate hot or cold water supply
•Ensure inlets are not blocked
Reduced or inconsistent flow rate • Ensure inlets are not blocked
•Ensure supply pressures are stable. Install
pressure regulating valves to correct
Mixed water temperature remains
same when handle is moved
•Ensure that hot and cold supply lines have not been reversed
Hot water flows into the cold water system,
or cold water flows into hot water system
•Ensure that check valves are not clogged or damaged
TMV is noisy • Ensure water supply pressures are within TMV specications.
Install pressure regulating valves to correct
•Ensure TMV is correct size for required ow
