ing that mixing valve connection is aligned to allow connec-
tion to the cold side of the thermostatic mixing valve with a
corrugated stainless steel connector.
4. Connect female threaded side of the corrugated stainless
steel connector to the cold inlet of the thermostatic mixing
valve and male threaded side to the tee (as shown in Figure 1)
5. Install nipple to the tee and connect cold water inlet supply
to the nipple
6. Connect system hot water outlet supply to the elbow con-
