S59-2007 Series Installation
WARNING
Make sure that all water supply lines have been flushed and then completely turned off before beginning
installation. Debris in supply lines can cause valves to malfunction.
Failure to comply with proper installation and maintenance instructions could contribute to a valve failure
resulting in severe bodily injury including scalding, chilling and/or death depending upon system water
pressure changes and/or supply water temperature changes.
This thermostatic mixing valve is designed to be installed at or near the boiler or water heater. It is not
designed to compensate for system pressure fluctuations and should not be used where ASSE standard
1016, 1069 or 1070 devices are required. These valves should never be used to provide "anti-scald" or "antichill" service. This valve does not provide protection from pipe freezing.
Regular checking and cleaning of the valve's internal components and check stops is necessary for
maximum life and proper product function. Periodic inspection and yearly maintenance by a licensed
contractor is required. Corrosive water conditions and/or unauthorized adjustments or repairs could render
the valve ineffective for it's intended service. Frequency of cleaning and inspection depends upon local
water conditions.
Output temperature of the valve must be checked and adjusted at initial installation and on a quarterly basis.
IMPORTANT
Read this entire installation manual to ensure proper installation. When finished with the installation, file
this manual with the owner or maintenance department. Compliance and conformity to local codes and
ordinances is the responsibility of the installer.
Separate parts from packaging and make sure all parts are accounted for before discarding packaging
material. If any parts are missing, do not begin installation until you obtain the missing parts.
Consult local building and plumbing codes prior to installation. Should these codes differ from the
information in the manual, follow the local codes. Inquire with governing authorities for additional local
requirements.
Product warranties may be found under “Products” on our web site at bradleycorp.com.
Supplies recommended for installation
• lockable shut-off on the outlet if tempered water is supplied to a remote location

4. Continue with the valve installation procedure.
Flush the supply lines before
beginning installation.
When the stop/check valves are in the
closed position, the stem for the stop/
check will be 1/4" above the stem nut.
When the stop/check valves are in the
open position, the stem will extend out
approximately 1/2" (13mm) from the
stem nut.
Install Optional Thermometer using
pipe sealant or teflon tape.

Check the temperature when approximately

This device must be checked for final temperature
and adjusted as necessary. The standard preset
factory temperature setting is 105°F (40.5°C). [the
range of the valve is 90°F – 120°F (32°C – 49°C)].
Consult proper medical and/or safety authorities
for the optimum temperature recommended for
your particular application.

Shut the hot water supply off by closing hot water inlet valve or supply check valve. While the hot water supply is turned off, check
to make sure the cold water is reduced to .5 GPM or less. If the cold water is reduced properly, reopen the hot water supply.
Shut the cold water supply off by closing the cold water inlet valve or supply check valve. While the cold water supply is off, check
to make sure that the hot water flow has shut down. If hot water is shut down, reopen cold water supply.
Remove the valve's top cap and thermostat. Push
down on the piston with your finger (the piston
should move freely). If the movement is not as it

should be, the piston and liner assembly needs to

If cleaning with suitable cleaner is not sufficient to

to polish and hone the piston and liner.
If, after a thorough cleaning, the piston does not

ask for Piston/Liner Kit (part number S65-205).
Before attempting to troubleshoot the valve or disassemble the
components, check for the following:
• Stop/check valves are fully open (the slotted stem
must be flush with the stop/check cap) and that all
inlet and outlet shut-off valves are open
• Hot and cold inlet pipes are connected properly, and
that there are no cross-connectio ns or leaking stop/
check valves
• Water heater output is at least 15° F above the set
temperature.
Be sure to close the appropriate shut-off valves prior to
disassembly of the valve and reopen the valves after inspection
and repair is complete.
Valve appearance may differ slightly.

Thermostat is slowly failing or not working

Inlet supply line to the mixing valve is being
shared by other pieces of equipment that
are used only periodically, such as laundry
appliances or washdown stations. It may
reduce the inlet pressure to the mixing valve
to less than 3 PSI. The supply line size may
not be large enough to supply both the valve
and the other appliances.
Replace the NPT joints and/or o-rings where necessary. For
replacement of o-rings, contact your Bradley representative
and ask for O-Ring/Seal Kit (S65-204).
Check the thermostat for proper operation:
1. At room temperature (80° or less), remove the top cap
and thermostat.
2. Place the thermostat into a small container filled
with 115° water. The pushrod should pop out of the
thermostat approximately 1/10".
If the thermostat pushrod does not pop out, the thermostat
must be replaced (it cannot be repaired). Contact your Bradley
representative and ask for Thermostat Kit (Part number S65-417).
Clean Stop and Check Valves:
Remove the stop and checks, clean the seat and reassemble
the valve. The stop/checks may also be disassembled and
cleaned. The components may be brushed with a small wire
brush to remove debris. If the stop/check valves need to be
replaced, contact your Bradley representative and ask for
Stop/Check Valve (part number S27-102 - Rough Brass,
S27-292A - Chrome).
Check Thermostat as described above, or replace.
