The Caleffi MixCal™ three-way thermostatic mixing valve is used in systems
producing domestic hot water or in hydronic and radiant heating systems.
It maintains the desired output temperature of the mixed water supplied to
the user at a constant set value compensating for both temperature and
pressure fl uctuations of incoming hot and cold water.

  • Page 2: Safety Instruction

    SAFETY INSTRUCTION This safety alert symbol will be used in this manual to draw attention to safety related instructions. When used, the safety symbol means ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED! FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN A SAFETY HAZARD. CAUTION: All work must be preformed by qualified personnel trained in the proper application, installation, and maintenance of systems in accordance with all applicable codes and ordinances.
  • Page 3: Operating Principle

    Operating principle The controlling element of the three-way thermostatic mixing valve is a thermostatic sensor fully immersed in the mixed water outlet tube which, as it expands or contracts, continuously establishes the correct proportion of hot and cold water entering the valve. The regulation of these flows is by means of a piston sliding in a cylinder between the hot and cold water passages.
  • Page 4: Installation

    Caleffi MixCal series 521 thermostatic mixing valves are designed to be installed at the hot water heater. The Caleffi Mix Cal series 521 valve cannot be used for tempering water temperature at fixtures as a point-of-use valve. They are not designed to provide scald protection or anti-chill service.
  • Page 5: Check Valves

    “521 A” model thermostatic mixing valves (these models do not contain integral check valves in the hot and cold inlet ports). As a convenience for easier installations, the Caleffi code “521 AC” model series thermostatic mixing valves include integral check valves in the hot and cold inlet ports.

    **NA10358 requires additional parts. Choose appropriate tailpiece, washers, and union nut to complete the adapter. Troubleshooting Under normal operating conditions the Caleffi 521 thermostatic mixing valve will provide a very high level of performance. However, in some circumstances, where the following maintenance schedule is not followed problems may arise.
