“Nice valve to control hot water temperature, I have one on my system now thought it was going bad could adjust but after a little work I got it to adjust, will keep this one in the event the other one stops working, been in use for about 9 years, may take it off and try to clean and rebuild.”
“This was an exact replacement for one that was previously installed but seemed to have stopped working. The replacement was an easy install and looked like some slight improvements were made. Anyway, it works great. No need for fancy valves in the showers or elsewhere, it works for the whole house. Also, Plumbing Supply delivered the product in record time, even during the busy holiday season.”
“We have well water and it is hard on everything in the house... this valve was no exception. I started to lose hot water and when I went to adjust the original valve it was frozen solid. It ended up breaking off when trying to adjust. This was a direct swap for the original valve, so I did not need to sweat the connections again. Just swapped out the gaskets and valve itself.. Mental note that I will be adjusting this valve monthly so it does not end up frozen again...”
“Installed on hot and cold lines from oil burner coil hot water system. The water was coming out initially as high as 175F. With this valve installed I have it regulated to a narrow band of 118F-120F. Now I have protection in case my grandson turns on the hot water and sticks his hand in it. I've also noticed that there is more consistency in the hot water as the temperature in the boiler around the coil drops to its minimum.”
“This unit will provide stable temperature after several minutes on my 1.5GPM shower head, but DOES NOT maintain temperature when the toilet is flushed. The temperature changes to very hot for the duration of the toilet filling process. The mixing valve built into my shower does a better job, it's just not thermostatic. I have bypassed my shower mixing valve and this unit still does the same as described above.”
“I used this to replace the identical component that was 13 years old and "frozen" due to deposits that had built up. I now have consistent temperature hot water delivered.”
