Product Q&A
9 QuestionsQ: can this valve be installed upside down with the common outlet facing upward
Asked by the plumber 11 years ago
Add your answer
The TACO instructions say it can be used in any position. I mostly use them with the outlet horizontal, as my piping and access work out best that way.
Q: I had a Taco mixing valve installed as part of my hydronic radiant floor system. The bloke who installed it put it on backwards, with hot going into the cold side, and vice versa. Does this matter? Will it still work?
Asked by 717.John 12 years ago
Add your answer
It should be hot and return piped to the valve, if they are reversed it should still work but the dial would also be reversed hot direction would be lower temperature. Turn it down to get hotter water etc.
The question is whether or not the 'output' is affected by adjusting the metering valve control.. Think of it this way- The old water is partially depleted of heat and needs to be revitalized by NEW hotter water in order to reach the intended design temp. I assume that a thermometer has been installed on the OUTPUT leg of each valve? There should have been. You can try adjusting the valve in order to determine the effect of however much adjustment is made by noting changes in the temperature out while the circulator is in operating mode that is. Good luck- John, ****@***.***
Short answer, no. But, with the unions and the fact that it is symmetrical you should be able to rotate it 180 degrees, reconnect, and be good. The valve works much like a thermostat in a car, the heat needs to be on the right side of the temperature sensor to open/close the hot supply and do the job.
Q: This product specifies 1 gpm minimum flow. Does this mean it will not work with low flow hot water usages, such as a bathroom sink with an aerator?
Asked by Roy 12 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupplyStaffThat is correct, the valve requires at least 1gpm in order to operate. If the low flow fixture runs at less than that it will not work correctly.
Q: Can this part be used as a replacement for a 5000 without having to replumb? I just want to install the valve without having to use the short pieces of copper pipe that come with it.
Asked by Leaky 13 years ago
Add your answer
As long as the threads on the union match the threads on the valve you do not need them. The copper pieces come with it so if you do not already have unions in place then you have them to install.
Q: Does this have check valves (on the inlets)?
Asked by Dave 14 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffIt does not. If you need a check valve, you would either need to install one in-line or use a circulator pump with an integral check valve.
Q: i have a taco 5000-2 mixing valve, installed 1-09, it just recently stopped passing hot water. had to turn to 'full hot' position to take a hot shower. how to fix, what parts needed?
Asked by 15 years ago

Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffThe cartridge may have failed. You may want to try replacing the cartridge (part 5002-006RP).
I had the same problem with this valve in the past. Probably too many sediments in the water. You can try taking it apart, pretty easy to do, and inspect and clean the inside. Should do the trick. If you don't have a sediment filter on your water line, it may be a good idea to install one. That is my plan for this summer.
Q: It helps me understand how things work when I can see how the product is made. Do you have a picture of the internals of this type of valve and how the temperture is controlled?

Q: How is this 5003 different than the 5000 mixing valve I bought 5 years ago and no longer available? I have a leaking valve that needs o-ring replacement but can not find where to buy. Must I buy a new valve every time this happens?
Asked by 16 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffThe part number for the O-ring gaskets is 5002-002RP. This should work for your existing valve as well.
Customer Care Answered this question for the o-rings stating to order 5002-002RP. I did, those are the 3 o-rings that attach to the hot/cold inputs and mixed water output. You probably want to order them and replace them anyway if you remove the valve. I asked Taco and they said to order part 5002-005RP which PexSupply.com also carries. I have a leaky value, pulled it apart today and see that 5002-002RP are the three gaskets on the inputs/output. Part 5002-005RP is a non-standard part to I am waiting to get it 2-3 weeks. I may just order a whole new valve.
Q: How does this valve correspond to a thermostat? How is it powered? 24V? line-voltage? 240?
