What does an Esbe valve do?

The VTF320 is a thermostatic valve which limits the flow in a potable hot water circulation system depending on the water temperature. When the potable hot circulation water temperature increases the VTF320 will start to close, which will result in flow reduction.

How do you adjust a thermostatic mixing valve?

To adjust the temperature supply remove the plastic cap on top of the valve and adjust with a close fitting spanner. To increase the temperature turn anti-clockwise To decrease the temperature turn clockwise To set the valve to a maximum recommended mixed water temperature, see table below.

How do you test a thermostatic mixing valve?

Thermostatic Mixed Valve Testing Procedure

1. Measure the mixed water temperature.
2. Isolate the cold water supply to the TMV.
3. Wait for at least five seconds.
4. Check if the water temperature is below 46ᵒC.
5. If there’s no significant temperature change (2ᵒC or less) it means the valve is performing optimally.

Do thermostatic mixing valves go bad?

Older model hot water mixing valves age over time and can break down with usage. As a result they can begin to fail in correctly controlling water temperature.

Which is the best esbe thermostatic mixing valve?

The series VTA370 and VTA570 are the number one choice for heating and cooling applications. The series VTA310 is designed for temperature control in domestic hot water installations. The Series VTG140 can be used in many different types of heating applications but is specially dedicated for underfloor heating.

What does the esbe vtc511 thermic valve do?

The ESBE VTC511 thermic valve is a thermostatic by-pass valve which regulates the temperature of either the supply out or the return of water in a hydronic heating system.

What kind of thermostatic mixing valves do I Need?

The 3-way ESBE VTA Series thermostatic mixing valves replace Series 20 & 30MR styles of valves and are designed for point of source in domestic hot water distribution systems and/or regulation of supply in hydronic heating systems. They are available in a range of connection sizes, types, and temperature ranges. See below.
