FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW PROPER INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PRODUCT FAILURE WHICH CAN CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DEATH.

Acorn Controls is not responsible for damages resulting from improper installation and/or maintenance. Installation of this valve shall be in accordance with Uniform Plumbing Code.

TO ENSURE ACCURATE AND RELIABLE OPERATION OF THIS PRODUCT, IT IS ESSENTIAL TO:

Ÿ Properly design the system to minimize

pressure and temperature variations.

Ÿ Implement an annual maintenance program

to ensure proper operation and temperature setting of valve(s).

Ÿ This valve is factory preset. However, it can

be adjusted. It is the responsibility of the installer and/or facility maintenance personnel to make sure valve outlet temperature does not exceed 95°F (35°C) after installation, maintenance or repair.

Ÿ Installer MUST VERIFY operation of the Cold

Water By-Pass after completing installation and temperature adjustments. Simulate a hot water supply failure by closing the hot water supply ball valve or by other means available.

Ÿ In circumstances where chemical reaction is

accelerated by flushing fluid temperature, a medical advisor should be consulted for the optimum temperature for each Application.

Ÿ Acorn's optional locking ball valves are the safe

and acceptable method for supply shut-off to this product, unless installed in a lockable cabinet or other means to prevent unauthorized supply shut off. After initial set-up and after each ANSI and ASSE required testing of this product be CERTAIN to lock the Acorn or installer supplied ball valve open. If installing supply shut-off valves by others, you MUST follow ANSI Z358 and ASSE 1071 requirements that unauthorized supply shut off be prevented.

Ÿ Verify that no single emergency fixture supplied by

this device has a minimum flow rate less than

1.5 gpm (5.7 lpm).

SUPPLIES REQUIRED:

(Not provided by Acorn)

1. Wall anchors, screws nuts and washers as required.
