Description
The Aquamix thermostatic mixing valve, Series 63C, is offered with female threaded connections and 10 setting positions.
The valve body is made of brass, nichel-plated, inside and out. The valve has a teflon coating inside which considerably reduces
the amount of scaling caused by hard water. Each valve is provided with two mesh strainers which, when fitted to the hot water
(+) and cold water (-) ports avoid debris entering the valve thereby protecting valve operation.

Application
The Aquamix valves are used to maintain a constant supply temperature to distribution headers for radiant panel heating
systems. The setting range of the valves in the 63C series, allows for regulating the water temperature between 25÷50°C with
a tolerance of ± 2 °C.
Operation
The operation is automatic. It is based on a heat-sensitive element inserted in the valve body, which, upon coming into contact with
the mixed water regulates (with a proportional action) the hot water produced in the boiler and the return water from the radiant
panels in accordance with the set temperature.
The valves have a bypass action across the cold water inlet and the mixed water outlet in order to avoid the risk of all the hot water
produced by the boiler reaching the radiant panels in the case of failure of the thermostatic element.
However the fitting of a safety thermostat, to stop the pump, is strongly recommended to prevent dangerous overheating, e.g. by
accidental tampering with the setting of the valves.
See charts for hydraulic flow rate and pressure drop characteristics of the valves.

Setting
The valve setting, i.e. setting of the temperature of the mixed water feeding the radiant panel heating system, is obtained by manually
turning the hand-wheel so that the number printed on the hand-wheel coincides with the reference mark embossed on the valve body.
The numbers stamped on the hand-wheel correspond to the temperatures given in Table 1: the valve is factory-set using hot water
at 60 °C and mains water at 25 °C.
To prevent tampering, the hand-wheel can be locked in the required set position as shown in figures 1 - 2 - 3.
The reliability of the Aquamix thermostatic mixing valves Series 63C is ensured by 100% testing of the production.

Operation
Choice of the Aquamix thermostatic mixing valves Series 63C depends on the nominal diameter of the connecting piping.
The valves can be installed in any position (horizontal or vertical).
The valves will require periodic maintenance of the internal components (Fig.4) in order to remove any scaling, without use of solvents
and without scratching the metal surfaces. Before maintenance, isolate inlets and outlets.
