Works great

I installed this on my hot water heater. This serves several purposes: 1. It regulates the water temperature better, the temperature does not go up or down as the tank empties, or when the burner comes on. and 2. I can get more hot water out of my 30 gallon tank. We do not run out of water any more. The price was a lot less than a new water heater and the installation was easier as well.I also bought two Sharkbite Temp gauges. One on the hot water, and one on the mixed water. It is a bit of an extravagance, but it makes it very easy to see how well it is working, and it is working very well. It confirms the factory setting of 130 degrees is correct as well as steady, and when I changed it, I could see the result quickly and easily. The gauge on the hot water outlet shows me how much the Honeywell thermostat is off, (which was considerable). I put the water heater at 160 degrees, and the mixed temp was rock steady at 130. Also, now, I NEVER run out of hot water.I set the mixed temp down to about 118, and the hot water to 140. We are very happy with this setting. Steady temperature and plenty of hot water.If you choose to economize and get only one gauge, put it on the hot water side. You can always measure the mixed water with a meat thermometer at a faucet. You cannot measure the hot water side.Reading the other messages, it looks like there is an O ring that can go bad. It would probably be a good idea to buy it for a spare when you get this. [...]

Never, ever again!

I have had it with this valve. I've had enough of irrate customers calling me back due to cold showers as a result of this valve and will never, ever use this again. It will not hold its temperature and fluctuates wildly while in use to the point of flowing nothing but cold water. Not just one or two units. nearly every one I've ever installed. Even tried one in my own home and found the exact same problems as my customers, and it lived up to their complaints perfectly. I've always used Taco products in all my installations, but this valve is the worst I've ever dealt with.

Product used to mix hot and cold water for the shower. Controls shower temp and keeps Moen temperature (hot) from turning off and having to be replaced routinely.

Not the same valve as the last one I installed.

I've installed this valve dozens, if not hundreds of times on a ton of boiler tankless units (mostly Laars Endurance boilers, but also Lochinvar Nobles). I've never had a problem. Until this most recent one on my own Marathon water heater - the first I've installed since leaving the trades a couple of years ago. The mixing valve was installed without ever having the body in place while soldering, to ensure the thermostatic valve wasn't damaged. But this valve won't reliably land on its set point. When stable, I can get perfect 122F water out of it. But most of the time it blasts wide open and I get scalding water at the faucets. And it doesn't ever land on 122F. I recognize this isn't technically an anti-scald valve, but I've never seen behavior like this in the past. Perhaps I got a bad unit? Or maybe the newest business school major at Taco found a cheaper way to make them. But as it stands now, this valve is even worse than a Watts 70A, and that's saying something. I'll be looking into a Resideo or Caleffi replacement.

Good product, but be careful....

When installing this product, make sure and remove the pre-installed check valves when soldering on the unions. If you leave them in, the check valves can seize and cause water hammer. Have seen this on multiple installations. Interestingly, Taco tech support had no idea about this when I called them. However, they do sell replacement check valves for this item: https://www.supplyhouse.com/Taco-5002-018RP-Check-Valve-Replacement-Kit Other than the care that needs to be taken when installing mentioned above, this is a solid mixing valve and performs better than the Watts 70A IMHO.

Domestic hot water install

First time installing one of these Taco's, i like how beefy and well put together this valve is. You can see the outlet temp at the gauge. Customer was very happy , better than the cheap watts tempering valves, Ill be installing only these for domestic hotwater from now on

Q: can this valve be installed upside down with the common outlet facing upward

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?

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

That 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

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

It 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.

The 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: 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

The part number for the O-ring gaskets is 5002-002RP. This should work for your existing valve as well.

Was this review helpful to you?
- JohnDoe

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.

This unit does not run on power. It is a thermostatic (manual set) valve.
