THERMOSTATIC BULB

INSTALLATION

FOR THREE-WAY VALVES

1. Install the bulb as close as possible to the outlet

of the mixed water line. See Figure No. 7.

2. Immerse bulb as far as possible into the pipeline.

ALL INSTALLATIONS
The capillary tubing is the flexible tubing that connects
the bulb and the valve.

IMPORTANT: Capillary tubing may only be bent on a
4" (100 mm), or larger radius. It must never be cut,
kinked, smashed or twisted.

1. Permanently fasten the capillary tubing to a

permanent location other than steam pipes, cold
water lines, or any other place where extreme
temperatures are incurred.

2. Form a loop with a few turns of tubing and place

next to the regulator. This helps to absorb vibra-
tions in the pipeline.

SEPARABLE WELL INSTALLATION
Separable wells protect the bulb and allow the bulb to be
removed without draining the pipeline or tank.

1. Install separable well in tank or piping.
2. Coat sensing bulb with high temperature grease.
3. Insert sensing bulb and gasket into the separable well.
4. Securely tighten with four (4) mounting screws.
