mixing valve

Hi there, I wanted to add a few breadcrumbs to the internet regarding an older Grohe Sentosa shower trim while also adding to the discussion a bit. I've replaced the thermostatic mixing valve on a Sentosa shower trim with part 47450. The issue I'm hitting is that with the new cartridge greased...

Whoever invented the water heater mixing valve is about as stupid as the person who invented the low flow toilet... both inventions waste more water then if you never had them, the mixing valve is so utterly useless the only reason i can see they install them is to increase your water and gas...

Hello. I would like the ability to have hot water for rare cold weather rinsing/washing. I had two ideas, the use of ball valves or a mixing valve, and after several searches with various terms, the closest thread I could find was this one...

I'm having my 38 gallon Bradford White HWH replaced Monday (under warranty). I am contemplating having the plumber install a thermostatic mixing valve at that time. I have a friend who says I shouldn't add the valve because it adds a level of annual maintenance to the HWH. Just wondering what...

Hi all! Short-time reader, first-time poster. I just moved into (renting) a Seattle-area townhouse and have realized my heating system is, unfortunately, a hydronic open loop (in-wall forced air radiant) system using a standard hot water tank that is shared with the domestic water system. The...

Our tap water here seems to be about 50° or so. I want to mix in a small amount of hot water into the Cold for the washing machine cold water inlet, so that the inlet water is tepid rather than super cold. It is intended for a bidet I believe. I have a mixing valve with a built-in one way flow...

Bought a home a few months ago and still struggling to set up my boiler correctly. I have a SlantFin Liberty Oil fired cast iron boiler heating up two heating zones through baseboards and the water in the house. After the first few weeks, I noticed two things: 1) Baseboards around the house...

I am replacing my yellow tub with a white acrylic tub. I turned off the water to our bathrooms 2 days ago to start demo and have turned it back on whenever I'm not working on it. Today I determined I needed to raise the faucet to accommodate the taller tub. Figuring this would be a good...

Hi folks, I have a single shower mixing valve that doesn't mix any longer. I've removed the cartridge but can't identify it. Been to 2 plumbing supply stores and no luck there either. Going through previous posts, it looks like a Sayco or a Aquabrass cartridge to me but I'm not sure and I...

Thanks in advance for any help with this issue everyone. I recently installed a new WM Aqua-Balance 120C combi boiler in my 2-story 1911 craftsman. I have CI rads on the first and second floors that were running on one zone previously. As part of this project I zoned the floors separately...

Before I start calling plumbers I want to know if this is possible and what I need to see if I'm choosing the correct installer. I want a radiant floor heat powered by a wood stove and tankless combiboiler when wood fire dies I want the tankless to pick up the demand. The tankless will be used...

This the faucet and stem from an 8 inch spread three hole bathroom sink. Problem: When either the hot or cold water handles are turned on, water drips out the bottom of the spout shank (underneath the sink) and very little or no water at all actually comes out the spout itself. As you can see...
