Hot Water Temperature Control Valves

" – 1" (15 – 25mm)
Series 1170, L1170 Hot Water Temperature Control Valves are spe-
cifically designed for mixing hot and cold water on hot water supply
systems. They can be used for a variety of applications to reduce the
temperature of the hot water from the system, and are ideal for radi-
ant heat applications. This series features a “double throttling” design
which combines the control of the hot and cold water to provide a
sensitive response to changes in water temperature passing through
the mixing chamber.
The 1170-M2 can be set to any temperature between 90°F and
160°F (60°F and 120°F for model L1170-M2) with flow rates as low
as 0.5 gpm and as high as 23 gpm (refer to capacity chart on the
back). The superior flow characteristics of this valve provide accu-
rate temperature control to the requirements of ASSE 1017* across
the rated flow range.
These valves also provide additional safety as they restrict mixed
water out to a drip upon loss of cold water supply to the valve.
As an added feature, the 1170-M2 and L1170-M2 incorporate integral
check valves and filter washers in both the hot and cold water inlets to
protect against cross flow. Available with threaded (-UT), solder (-US),
PEx, (-QC) Quick-Connect or CPVC connections.
Features
• Bronze body construction
• Solid wax hydraulic principle thermostat assures dependable
mixing of hot and cold water
• Thermostat controls both hot and cold water
• Models available with solder, thread, PEx, Quick-Connect or
CPVC end connections
• Integral filter washers and check valves
• Adjustment cap with locking feature
• ASSE 1017 listed*

†WARNING
Watts Hot Water Temperature Control Valve Series 1170 are designed to be installed
at or near the boiler or water heater. They cannot be used by themselves for temper-
ing water temperatures at fixtures where ASSE Standard 1016 or ASSE Standard
1070 listed devices are required. To comply with ASSE Standard 1016 or ASSE
Standard 1070, listed devices such as Watts Series L111, USG or MMV should be
used at fixtures to prevent possible injury.
Watts Hot Water Temperature Control Valve Series 1170 are not designed to com-
pensate for system pressure fluctuations. Such use may result in severe bodily injury
(i. e. scalding or chilling) and/or death.
When installing the Series 1170 valves in radiant heat applications, the components
of the radiant heat system must be of materials with a construction capable of with-
standing the high limit output temperatures of the heating boiler. If you are uncertain
as to the product’s adaptability for your application, please consult an authorized
representative before installing or using the product.
