SAFETY The Enware Aquablend 2500 Megamix Thermostatic Mixing Valve is a high performance valve designed to give stable and dependable operation, provided it is installed, commissioned, operated and maintained as per the recommendations outlined in this manual. It should be noted however that this valve should not be considered as an alternative to adequate supervision and duty of care during its use and operation.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The Aquablend 2500 Megamix TMV is available complete with inlet service fittings. The service fittings consist of isolating ball valves, strainers, pressure test points and non-return valves. The strainers can be serviced and cleaned without disturbing the installation (refer to Maintenance and Servicing section). The inlet service fittings also incorporate union type fittings enabling the thermostatic mixing valve to be removed from its installation without disturbing its pipework.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Method of operation is illustrated in IMAGE 2 below: Hot and cold water is supplied to each side of the valve respectively. The hot water enters through a port below the Piston, the cold water enters above the Piston. Upon entry the water begins to blend and enters the Mixing Tube.
RECOMMENDED PRESSURES & TEMPERATURES MIXED OUTLET TEMPERATURE Temperature Adjustment Range 35 - 50°C Set during installation/commissioning | Factory set at 42°C (+/- 2 ˚C) INLET TEMPERATURES Cold Supply Minimum 5°C Maximum 30°C^ Hot Supply Minimum 55°C Maximum 90°C Hot to Mix Temperature Differential for Minimum 10°C Stable Operation...
FLOW SIZING GRAPH The Aquablend 2500 Megamix TMV is suitable for many applications. The Headloss Characteristic for Mixed Outlet Flow Rate versus Balanced Inlet Pressure is shown below in IMAGE 3. It is important that the valve is not oversized for its intended application. Head Loss Characteristics of Aquablend 2500 Megamix TMV (mix temperature at 42°C at Valve Outlet) Flow Rate (L/min)
INSTALLATION The Aquablend 2500 TMV should be installed using the appropriate Standard, Code and legislation applicable to each state and following the details outlined in this section. The Aquablend 2500 TMV must be installed by a licensed plumber, or where applicable, a licensed plumber who has undertaken TAFE training in Thermostatic Mixing Valves.

INSTALLATION NOTE: In some installations where certain types of faucet devices such as flick mixers and solenoid valves are used, the water pressure may be seen to spike outside that recommended for the valve during rapid shut off conditions created by these types of devices. Even if the spike only lasts a split second it is still considered to be outside the operating conditions, and may cause the valve to operate incorrectly. In the event that this does occur, measures must be taken to control the spike, such as an inline pressure reducing valves directly before the valve inlets. To ensure that the mixing valve operates correctly it is necessary that the pipework is thoroughly flushed with clean water before the valve is installed. This will remove any physical contaminants from the pipework, ensuring trouble-free operation.
COMMISSIONING OF THE VALVE Upon completion of the installation, the valve should be tested and commissioned as per the procedure outlined below or as specified by the local authority. The entire procedure should be read through thoroughly prior to the commissioning of the valve. A calibrated digital thermometer having rapid response time with maximum temperature hold, a small flat bladed screwdriver, 3mm Allen key and the adjusting key (supplied with the Aquablend 2500 TMV ) will be required to check...

COMMISSIONING OF THE VALVE 3. Fit supplied key over the adjusting spindle. SEE IMAGE 7 • To increase the mixed outlet temperature, rotate the spindle anti-clockwise. • To decrease the mixed outlet temperature, rotate the spindle clockwise 4. Allow the mixed outlet temperature to stabilize for 60 seconds and once again take a temperature reading.
Page 13
COMMISSIONING OF THE VALVE SHUT DOWN TEST Now that the mixing valve has been set and locked it is necessary to perform a shut down check. Allow the mixed water temperature to stabilise and note the outlet temperature. While holding a digital thermometer in the outlet flow, quickly isolate the cold water supply to the valve.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING The Aquablend 2500 TMV will only require minimal preventative maintenance work to ensure it operates at its optimum level of performance. The valve should be commissioned and serviced annually, unless the installed conditions dictate more frequent servicing is necessary. ANNUAL MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE Every 12 months, the Aquablend 2500 TMV should be inspected and tested.
Non-Return Valve Operation To check Non-Return Valve on the HOT inlet side, carry out the following steps: 1. Turn OFF the isolation tap on the HOT inlet only (COLD inlet must be open) 2. Open Test Port Cap on the HOT inlet side 3.

THERMAL FLUSH OPTION The Aquablend 2500 TMV includes a built-in Thermal Flush feature allowing the facilities maintenance team or licensed service contactors to perform a controlled thermal flush to the TMV and warm water plumbing system. NOTE: The thermal flush procedure is optional and does not form part of commissioning and service requirements set out in AS4032.3 Before commencing the thermal flush, a site-specific procedure must be implemented to control the risk of scalding.

THERMAL FLUSH OPTION 3. Check that the temperature adjustment locking grub screw is tight. (Grub screw is located on the hex of the top cap - see IMAGE 6) 4. Hook the Lift Lever Key onto the thermal flush activation point located in the centre of the temperature adjustment screw on the valve’s top cap.
