52051_AP series kit:
Adjustable three-way thermostatic mixing valve, angle body with cold water
cross and pivot connectors, connections ¾" NPT female to water heater; ¾" sweat,
press, and NPT male union system connections.
Function
The Caleffi PivotMixer ™ combines the AngleMix ™ three-way point-
of-distribution thermostatic mixing valve with a cold water cross and
pivoting brass connectors for easy installation directly on typical
electric water heaters and heat pump water heaters. It has unique
¾" pivot connectors that adapt to heater nipples spaced from
3" to 8" on-center. The cross for the cold water supply contains
an integral check valve for the flow to the mixing valve and ½"
NPT female threaded recirculation tap. The PivotMixer maintains
the desired output temperature of the mixed water supplied at a
constant set value compensating for both temperature and pressure
fluctuations of the incoming hot and cold water. The mixing valve
also features a thermal shut-off function that operates in the event of
a cold water supply failure at the inlet. The angle style body design
offers improved fluid dynamics for better performance and reduces
installation labor and materials. The mixing valve has been certified
to ASSE 1017 and Low
with codes IPC, IRC, NPC and UPC for use in accordance with US
and Canadian plumbing codes, and standard NSF/ANSI/CAN 372,
governing low lead material content.

  • Page 6 Caleffi PivotMixer thermostatic mixing valve assemblies are designed to be installed at the water heater. The PivotMixer cannot be used for tempering water temperature at fixtures as a point-of-use valve. They are not designed to provide scald protection. For safety reasons, it is advisable to limit the maximum mixed water temperature to 120 °F when anti-scald devices...
  • Page 7 Mixed Temperature Control Knob Setting The control knob permits temperature setting between minimum and maximum in one turn (360 °). It also has a tamper-proof system to lock the temperature at application required set value. The temperature is set to the required value by means of the knob with the graduated scale, on the top of the valve.
  • Page 8 Commissioning The Caleffi PivotMixer thermostatic mixing valve assembly must be commissioned in accordance with current standards by qualified personnel using temperature measuring equipment. The mixed outlet temperature gauge reduces commissioning time, saving time to approach the desired temperature efficiently. It’s advisable to utilize a digital thermometer to verify the final setting of the mixed water temperature.
