Hi Frank! The mixing valve can be installed horizontally or vertically.
From the manual, "To adjust temperature setting of the mixing valve. Loosen hand wheel screw, lift handwheel and turn to desired temperature, push the hand wheel on the retighten screw."
Joe: We had a similar problem, check the following: 1. Look for obstructions, debris in the line. The opening is extremely small in the valve. Almost anything can clog it, reducing flow and loop temp. 2. Do you have a leak somewhere down line? Are you making up water? 3. Do you have a Y-strainer, is it clean. Do not rely on just opening up the drain on the bottom, the screen could be clogged and not allow flow past. Hope this helps. Tim
Hi, It is very possible that the flow rate is too small to adequately mix and control the temperature, also usually there is a possibility that the internal cartridge may not be good any longer.
Mixing valves that are designed for heating systems generally have higher temperature ranges than ones designed for domestic hot water plumbing. Since heating mixing valves also do not carry the necessary approval codes for use with potable water, we would not recommend using them in such applications.
