SIMPLICITY™ Thermostatic Mixing Valve Specifications
FEATURES

The Single System SIMPLICITY Mixer provides a cost effective Thermostatic Hot Water
Mixing Valve for systems with high or low volume requirements.

One moving part, a replaceable cartridge dramatically reduces repair costs. Includes Ball
Valve Shutoffs, Check Valves, Thermometer and Local Drain.

ASSE Standard 1017

Warrantees are passed through and per Manufacturers Specifications.
Towle Whitney LLC takes no responsibility for water damage or other mishap due to
circumstances of defects in other manufacturer’s equipment or in the improper installation
of product, regardless of who performs product installation.

OPERATION

The SIMPLICITY Mixer is designed to operate between 7.5 – 10 feet per second. When
sized using the flow curve below the system will provide ample volume at low-pressure
drop.

The SIMPLICITY Mixer features a single moving part in a bronze body with large
waterways eliminating the headaches of the old-fashioned Hi/Low Mixer Styles. The large
waterways and correct velocities reduce buildup of rust and scale, keeping the valve clean
thus reducing failure.

The SIMPLICITY Mixer is designed to hold a “close tolerance setting”. Mixing begins
between 1-2 GPM through the complete range.

The SIMPLICITY Mixer is intended to replace the old fashioned “High/Low Style Systems!
Eliminates “tight tolerances”, “ multiple moving parts” and the gumming and sticking
associated with old-fashioned hot water mixing valves.

• Simplex Mixers are designed to provide high volume with low-pressure drop.
• Duplex Mixers are designed to provide redundancy for continued hot water supply.
• Triplex Mixers are designed to provide for high volume users.

As the diagram below shows, the Cartridge Style Thermostat makes repair quick and easy.

The SIMPLICITY Mixer provides union end ball valve shutoffs for isolation and allowing
independent temperature adjustment.

The SIMPLICITY Mixer is shipped attached to a 1” thick MDF water-resistant backing
board, painted flat black. Independent temperature adjustment is made easy using Ball
Valve Shutoffs to isolate the single and multi-unit stations.

SPECIFICATIONS
The SIMPLICITY Thermostatic Water Mixing Valve has flexible design options, which allow
the SIMPLICITY to be fabricated to your specifications. It is delivered pre-assembled and
fully tested to meet all State and Local Codes.

The SIMPLICITY Temperature Actuated Mixing Valve is approved to control water
temperature in domestic potable hot water systems from the hot water source. The
SIMPLICITY Mixer will supply mixed water between 100°F and 140°F with a hot water inlet
temperature at least 20°F higher than the outlet temperature. The maximum working
pressure shall be 125 PSI. Simplex, Duplex, and Triplex shall meet ASSE 1017.

REQUIREMENTS

Circulator and Aquastat requirements begin at 100 feet developed length. Consult factory
for water systems without circulators.

1. Fluctuating or Erratic Hot Water
Temperature.
A. Large demand for hot water








B. Unbalanced Pressures
Large demands for hot water will cause the
Mixing Valve to operate incorrectly. This Valve
was not designed to compensate for such
conditions. When hot water is removed faster
than the heating source can reheat the water, the
temperature will drop below the setting of the
Valve.


If the pressure differential between the hot and
cold water inlet lines is greater than 30 PSI, a
Balancing or Throttling Valve may be needed on
the cold water line to make up for the heat loss in
the heating source.
2. Hot water backing up in cold water line.
A. City water pressure drops causing hot
water pressure to override cold water
pressure

Install a Check Valve in the cold water line.
3. Water temperature will not adjust to the
desired temperature.
A. Unbalanced Pressures




B. Heating source inadequate
If the pressure differential between the hot and
the cold water inlet lines is greater than 30 PSI, a
Balancing or Throttling Valve may be needed on
the cold water line to make up for the heat loss in
the heating source.


The heating source may not produce enough hot
water to maintain the desired temperature.
4. Failure of Thermostat
A. Thermostat exposed to extreme high
temperatures



B. Build-up of mineral deposits due to
corrosive water conditions


C. Electrolysis
Thermostat on heating source may be set too
high causing water temperatures to exceed
210°F. Turn thermostat on Heater down. The
Mixing Valve must be located at least 8” to 12”
below the hot water source.

Cleaning the Thermostat frequently and
removingdeposits will help prolong life of Thermostat.


Electrically ground the piping system or install
dielectric Unions.
