THERMO Valve Check
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- Obtain a container filled with water and place the thermo valve in it with a stick [approximately 6 mm (0.24 inch) in diameter] inserted. Gradually warm up the water while stirring, and check that the thermo valve opening temperature is within the standard value. The stick rises when the thermo valve opens.
Standard value:
75 ± 1.5°C (167 ± 2.7°F)
- Warm up the water to the full-open temperature of the thermo valve, and check that the valve lift amount is within the standard value.
Standard value:
Full-open temperature 95°C (203°F) or more Valve lift amount when it is fully opened: 3 mm (0.12 inch) or more
NOTE: Measure the height of the fully closed valve in advance, and then measure the valve height at fully open temperature to calculate the lift amount.
