Hot Water Temperature Control Valves

Size: 1⁄2", 3⁄4", 1" (15, 20, 25mm)

Installation Instructions

Valve should be installed and adjusted by a licensed contractor in accordance with

local codes and ordinances. Further, this valve should be installed in a location where it

is accessible for cleaning, service or adjustment.

1. Close both the hot and cold water shutoff valves upstream nearest to the intended

installation.

2. Bleed the remaining water from the system.

3. Connect the water supply to valve as shown in Figure 1 or 2, depending on the

application. Supply piping must be flushed clean before making connections to the

valve.

IMPORTANT!: To prolong the life of the Model 1170-M2, L1170-M2, LF1170-M2 or

LFL1170-M2 valve, it is recommended that it be trapped as shown: i.e. the hot water

inlet to the 1170-M2 or LF1170-M2 valve should be 8" – 12" (200 – 305mm) below

the hot water supply feed.

4. Valve can be installed in any position. Note: the inlet hot supply is to be connected

to the “H” side of the valve, the cold supply side to the “C” side and the mixed water

outlet to the “M” side.

5. Make sure union nuts are placed over tailpieces prior to

soldering or threading to pipe.

6. For valves with Quick-Connect tailpieces refer to “Quick-

Connect Installation” instructions below.

Note: To prevent damage to valve from excessive heat during

soldering, remove unions and gaskets from valve body prior to

soldering.

7. After soldering, flush piping and install valve using filter washer

on hot and cold water inlet and fiber washer on the mixed

water outlet.

8. Start-up: Open cold water supply, then hot water supply.

Inspect for leaks.

9. Adjust temperature to desired setting (see Temperature

Adjustment Section).

Temperature Adjustment

Factory Preset:

1170-M2, LF1170-M2: 120°F (49°C)

L1170-M2, LFL1170-M2: 90°F (31°C)

Under following conditions:

Cold Inlet: 60-70°F (16-21°C)

Hot Inlet: 140-145°F (60-63°C)

Supply Pressure: 45psi (3.15 bar)

1. Let water flow for at least two minutes to allow supply tem-

perature to stabilize.

2. Calibrate the mixed water outlet temperature by placing a

thermometer in the mixed water stream.

3. To adjust the setting of the valve, loosen locking cap screw

with hex wrench, see Figure 3. Cap must be lifted 1/4" to

adjust temperature. To increase the temperature, turn coun-

terclockwise. To decrease temperature turn clockwise.

4. Lower handle and tighten screw.

5. Check outlet temperature.

Period Inspection/Maintenance

This valve requires periodic inspection and verification of the out-

let temperature by a licensed contractor. Corrosive water condi-

tions, hot inlet water temperature over 200°F (93°C), unauthor-

ized adjustments or repairs could render the valve ineffective for

its intended service. Regular cleaning and checking of thermo-

stat assembly helps to maximize valve life and mixing function.

Frequency of cleaning depends on local water conditions.

Watts Hot Water Temperature Control Valves cannot be used for tempering

water temperature at fixtures. Severe bodily injury (i.e. scalding or chilling)

and/or death may result depending upon system water pressure changes.

ASSE Standard 1016, ASSE 1070 listed devices such as Watts Model L111,

LFL111 Series USG, LFUSG, MMV or LFMMV should be used at fixtures

to prevent possible injury. The Watts Hot Water Temperature Control Valves

are designed to be installed at or near the boiler or water heater. They are not

designed to compensate for system pressure fluctuations and should not be

used where ASSE 1016 devices are required. These WATTS valves should never

be used to provide “anti-scald” or “anti-chill” service.

When installing the Series 1170-M2 valves in a radiant heat application, the

components of the radiant heat system must be of materials with a construction

capable of withstanding 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.
