The 430 HydroGuard incorporates ATA technology that holds the mixed water temperatureto within 5°F of setpoint– within the range of 40°Fto 160°F– meeting the requirements of both ASSE

1017 and CSA B125. It compensates for both temperature and pressurechanges in supply lines and

reduces water flow during supply failure. The 430 isavailable in a variety of sizes to suit virtually anyapplication, and comes in two finishes: roughbronze or polished chrome. Recommended applications include shower rooms and group showers, small building domestic water and tempered water for light industrial processes.

Advanced Thermal Actuator (ATA) reacts to temperature or pressure changes to temper water.

A. When hot water flows increase, ATA actuator expands, moving poppet and seat to reduce hot water flow and increasing cold water flow. The result is precisely tempered water.

B. When cold water supply fails, ATA actuator contracts, shutting off hot water flow to the outlet.

The second main area of concern when it comes to bather safety & comfort

Proper Circulation…• prevents cool down of hot water line during low/no use periods.• saves water and energy.• is required by many plumbing codes when length of hot water

piping exceeds 100 feet.

Most commercial establishments with properly sized valves have little difficulty accommodating the hot water demands placed on asystem during periods of peak usage. The basic guidelines listedbelow will help insure stable control of the domestic water systemduring normal to low/no use periods (see Figure 1).

• Locate master mixer close to hot water source to minimize pressure variations.

• DO NOT recirculate low temperature hot water (LTHW) and high temperature hot water (HTHW) with the same pump, return water may come back hotter than mixer setpoint.

• To ensure that flowpaths remain separate, use TWO (2) circulating pumps, and use check valves to prevent reverse flow.

• Always use an aquastat set at a temperature below the setpointof the mixer.

• Be certain HTHW cannot be introduced into cold side of mixer.

• Always tie LTHW return to cold water side of mixing valve, as well as to the cold water inlet of the water heater.

(CAUTION: Omission of this connection can be extremely dangerous!)

• Be sure to properly size master mixing valve (see Proper Valve Sizing on the other side of this page).

• To minimize natural heat convection, locate master mixer below hot water source…or install a heat trap, which is about a two foot drop in the hot water pipe before going up to the mixing valve.

The single most critical component of insuringbather safety & comfortGood plumbing system design takes into account both peakhot water demands as well as the typical demands of thebuilding as they fluctuate around the clock. When designinga system, the trick is to provide an adequate supply of hotwater regardless of whether there are one or many bathers at any point in time, and to maintain a comfortable hotwater temperature regardless of the demand placed on thesystem. The key to good plumbing system design is propervalve sizing.

Proper valve sizing is typically achieved by employing one oftwo methods of calculating demand — Hunter’s CurveMethod and the Full Flow Method.

Why Some Master Mixing Valves Perform PoorlyPoor valve operation occurs when the valve selected is drastically under or over-sized, or if the recirculation system is piped improperly causing erratic temperature fluctuations (See Circulation Systems on other side).

Hunter’s Curve Method – Demand is assessed byassigning a specific rating to each fixture, totaling up the ratings and determining the total gallons per minute requiredon the ASPE curve. A valve is then selected that can accommodate this demand.

Full Flow Method – Demand is determined by multiplying the flow rate of each fixture by the estimated usage for that fixture. This is done for all fixtures, then theresults are added up to provide total demand.
