Installation
Technical Assistance and Sizing
CAUTION
When these installation, operation and service
instructions are not followed, TempControl functionality
and service life will be greatly impaired.
All TempControl installations must have a
thermometer and shut off valve in the tempered water
outlet (as shown in diagrams) for proper trouble
shooting service.
Tools Required for Installation
Adjustable wrench
Flat head screwdriver
Phillips head screwdriver
Pipe wrench
For assistance and technical support in sizing and
selection of the proper TempControl valve or system,
consult the Symmons TempSize™ computer sizing software, your local representative or Symmons
Customer Service Department at 1-800-SYMMONS.
TempControl Location
An underlying premise of thermostatic water controller
installations is an acknowledgement that thermostatic
mixing valves will not operate properly when the hot and
cold supplies serving such valves are subjected to pressure disturbances when owing less than full capacity. In
a correctly designed mechanical room, the supply pressures are stable and not subject to pressure disturbances. As a result, when a TempControl valve is indicated as
being located in the mechanical room, a Hi-Low system
will not be recommended.
When the valve’s location is indicated as being outside
of the mechanical room, it is assumed that there is a
potential for pressure uctuations in the hot and cold
supply lines servicing a TempControl valve and a HiLow system will automatically be recommended.
Note: If the system is designed so that the TempControl
valve is not subjected to high-low ow demand, even
though it is located outside the mechanical room, a
single TempControl valve will operate properly.

All piping should be thoroughly ushed before TempControl is installed. The TempControl can be installed in any
position as long as Hot Water is connected to “H” port
and Cold Water is connected to “C” port. Close service
stops on TempControl, remove cartridge, (see page 11
for Cartridge Removal & Replacement section), turn on
water supply and open stops wide to thoroughly ush
piping before putting valve in service. TempControl is set
at factory to deliver approximately 100° F.

Diagram 1 INSTALLATION AT OR NEAR THE HOT
WATER SOURCE: TempControl must be positioned
below the hot water tank or heater, well below the high
temperature water line. This procedure creates a heat
trap and protects against hot water migrating through
the controller.
plumbing system, no water can be added to the system;
therefore, the “cold” and “hot” supplies to the TempControl must come from within the system as described
below using the ball valve for ne tuning the operation
as outlined in (a) and (b).

RECIRCULATING TEMPERED WATER OR HOT WATER
RETURN: TempControl Hi-Low system must have the
return line connected exactly as shown (See Diagram 2
notes).
Diagram 2 INSTALLATION WITH RECIRCULATING
TEMPERED WATER AT HOT WATER SOURCE: TempControl must have the return line connected exactly as
shown. This procedure allows the controller to maintain
the set temperature during periods of no draw by (a)
allowing the major volume of return water to supply the
cold inlet of the TempControl and (b) the minor volume
of return water to be reheated and supply the hot inlet of
the TempControl. When there is no water draw on the

Cycle valve to full hot (counterclockwise) then cold
(clockwise) 3 full times allowing valve to reach full
temperature. With approximately 80% of the design
intent owing water, turn adjustment bolt to obtain
desired setting and lock nut in place. Thermostatic
water controllers should be sized according to the ow
capacity required from the valve, NOT the pipe size supplied to the valve. For assistance and technical support
in sizing and selection of the proper TEMPCONTROL
Thermostatic Water Controller, consult the Symmons
TEMPSIZE™ computer sizing software, your local representative or Symmons Customer Service Department at
1-800-SYMMONS.
CAUTION: Turning adjustment bolt fully counterclockwise will remove bolt from TempControl. If
this occurs simply replace bolt.
For systems piped to Diagram 2:
1. With ball valve closed, set TempControl to desired
temperature with water owing from tempered water
line.
2. After obtaining desired temperature, stop the water
ow.
3. Crack the ball valve open so that a small amount of
water is returned to the hot water source. This allows
the TempControl to maintain the set temperature
during periods of no draw on the system.
4. During no draw, observe the thermometer on the
discharge of the TempControl. If the temperature
increases above the setting in Step 1, close the ball
valve slightly or if temperature decreases, open it
slightly.
For systems piped to Diagram 3:
1. Turn off recirculating pump and close ball valve.
2. Shut off (V1).
3. Open 5 showers or equivalent to the full hot position.
4. Set small TempControl valve (TMV2) to the full cold
position and note the temperature on thermometer.
5. Shut off valve (V2) and open valve (V1). Set large
TempControl valve (TMV1) to desired system
temperature (make sure adjustment screw on PRV
valve is in the full clockwise position).
6. Shut off 2 showers or equivalent (leaving 3 still on) and open
valve (V2).
7. Turn PRV adjustment screw counter-clockwise until
temperature (T) equals that obtained in step #4.
8. Adjust TempControl valve (TMV2) to desired system
temperature and system will be in operational mode.
9. Stop the water ow, after obtaining desired temperature and turn on the recirculating pump.
Crack the ball valve open so that a small amount of
10.
water is returned to the hot water source. This allows
the TempControl to maintain the set temperature
during periods of no draw on the system.
11.
During no draw, observe the thermometer on the
discharge on the TempControl. If the temperature
increases above the setting in step #8, close the ball
valve slightly or open it if the temperature decreases.
For systems piped to Diagram 4:
Follow steps 2 through 9 for systems piped to
Diagram 3. Ignore reference to recirculating pump in
step 9 (not applicable to this installation).
Maintenance
The cartridge unit contains the entire valve control
mechanism. For non-interrupted service, keep a spare
cartridge on hand.
TempControl valve control mechanism must be kept
clean and free from deposits and any foreign matter
build-up that will be present in many water systems.
Inspect within 30 days of initial installation or operation. If inspection determines that your water system
causes deposits and foreign matter build-up monthly, then valve should be cleaned monthly as follows:
Remove cartridge (see page 11 for Cartridge Removal
& Replacement section) and soak in any acceptable
de-liming agent (or regular household vinegar). Wash off
deposits, be sure piston is moving freely in its sleeve,
and replace cartridge. Clean more frequently if your
system so demands (do not completely remove piston
from cartridge).
The Check Valves in the TempControl are highly important

Operation & Maintenance
factors in its proper operation. If chips, dirt or other foreign
materials lodge on the seats and prevent the checks from
fully seating, there may be a bypass of water into the
opposing line, and the TempControl will not operate to its
set delivery temperature. A bypass may be detected by
feeling the supply line while the TempControl is not operating. If, for example, the cold line feels hot, the cold water
check is not seating properly. It should be removed and
the check and its seat cleaned.
Cartridge Removal & Replacement
Before removing a used cartridge for cleaning, have
new casing gasket and sleeve o-rings on hand.
Shut off supplies at stop checks by turning clockwise.
Remove 4 bolts on cartridge bolt ange.
With 2 large bladed screwdrivers, pry evenly on two
opposite sides of bolt ange until cartridge is free to be
removed by hand. Pull out cartridge with a twisting and
turning action, always keeping cartridge on center line.
Leave compensating spring in position at bottom center
of valve body.
Clean cartridge as described in maintenance instructions.
Replace sleeve O-rings and grease same.
With a twisting and pushing action, replace cartridge
in valve body until bolt ange is rmly against housing
gasket.
While holding cartridge in place, replace bolts and tighten. Do not attempt to pull cartridge into position with
bolts—it will damage the valve control mechanism.
Open stops and adjust temperature.
Seasonal Use
When a TempControl is used seasonally (schools, campgrounds, golf clubs, etc.) the cartridge must be removed
and thoroughly drained of all water to prevent freeze
damage. The check stops should also be removed to
drain all water from the supply lines and valve body (see
“Cartridge Removal & Replacement”). This will prohibit
damage caused by freezing water.
