Fluctuating or erratic hot water temperature at fixture:

Unbalanced pressure. Install balancing or throttling valve at the

hot and cold water supplies and adjust accordingly for demand.

Hot water backing up into cold water line:

Hot water pressure is higher than cold water pressure.

Examine check valves for dirt & debris, clean as necessary.
Cannot adjust water temperature to desired temperature:

Install balancing or throttling valve at the hot and cold water sup-

plies and adjust accordingly for demand.

High pressure drop through the tempering valve:

Valve undersized. Install larger thermostatic tempering valve.
Insufficient hot water during peak demand:

Check flow requirement during peak demand period. Use larger

thermostatic tempering valve.
