The Hydroguard thermostatically blends hot and cold water to deliver mixed water at the
desired temperature, quickly compensating for temperature variations due to changes in
inlet temperature, pressure or flow, and reduces flow upon water supply failure.
The 1430’s delivery temperature will hold to within ±5°F (± 2.7°C) when tested in accor-
dance to ASSE 1017.

DESCRIPTION

SIZING

SPECIFICATIONS

WARNING: TO INSURE THE ACCURATE AND RELIABLE OPERATION OF THIS
PRODUCT, IT IS ESSENTIAL TO:
• Properly size each valve based on the individual application.

• Properly design the recirculation system to minimize pressure and temperature varia-

tions.

• Conduct an annual maintenance program to insure proper operation of all critical

components.

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH PROPER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS COULD
CONTRIBUTE TO VALVE FAILURE, RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH.

Table A, Capacity Table, presents the Hydroguard discharge capacity in gpm and I/m for various pressure drops across the valves
(the difference between the lowest inlet pressure and the discharge pressure at the Hydroguard).

1432 Hydroguard Valve

Typical Flow
Hot and cold water supplies enter Hydroguard at indicated ports, (see Figure 1) then
flow past their respective balanced poppet plug and seats. Next, hot and cold water
flow is directed to the mixing chamber where the thermostatic motor is located.

Temperature Change
With a rise in discharge temperature due to pressure or temperature fluctuation on
the inlet, the actuator expands, decreasing flow of hot water. The reverse occurs
with a drop in discharge temperature.

Responses
Temperature adjustment screw moves the actuator/poppet to the desired discharge
temperature.

• Cold water supply failure – causes actuator to expand reducing the flow of hot

water.

• Hot water supply pressure failure – causes actuator to contract reducing the flow

of cold water.

Funnel expands or contracts depending on flow rate ensuring maximum heat
transmission to actuator.
