Thermostatic Mixing Valve Maintenance and Troubleshooting

NOTE: Before attempting to troubleshoot the valve or disassemble the components, check for the following conditions:

If stop/check valves are used, make sure that they are fully open

Make sure that the hot and cold inlet pipes are connected properly, and that there are no cross- connections or leaking stop/check valves

check the hot water heater output to make sure that it is at least 20° F above the set temperature.

Be sure to close the appropriate shut-off valves prior to disassembly of the valve and reopen the valves after inspection and repair is complete.

Problem: Limited water flow

Cause: Dirt and debris have built up in the valve.

Solution: Check the valve's piston for free and smooth movement, follow the procedures outlined below:

1.Remove the valve's cap and thermostat (see Figure 14 on Page 26).

2.Push down on the piston with your finger (the piston should move freely). If the movement is not as it should be, the piston needs to be cleaned. Follow the method outlined below for cleaning the piston and valve body:

Remove the thermostat.

Lift the piston out with a needle-nose pliers and remove the spring.

Any cleaner suitable for brass and stainless steel may be used (if cleaning with suitable cleaner is not sufficient to remove debris, a 400-grit sandpaper may be used to polish and hone the piston and valve body).

Snap spring into piston (will detent) and reassemble into the valve body.

Retest the piston.

3.If, after a thorough cleaning, the piston does not move freely, the piston must be replaced. Contact your Bradley representative and ask for Repair Kit (part number S65-259).

Problem: External leaks in the system

Cause: O-rings have been damaged.

Solution: Replace O-rings where necessary. For replacement of the O-rings, contact your

Bradley representative and ask for Repair Kit (part number S65-259).

Problem: Improper water temperature or temperature fluctuation

Cause: Thermostat is slowly failing or not working at all.

Solution: "Check the thermostat for proper operation".

1.At room temperature (80° F or less) remove cap and thermostat.

2.Place thermostat into container with 115° F water. The pushrod should pop out of the thermostat approximately 1/10".

3.If thermostat pushrod does not pop out, the thermostat must be replaced. Contact your Bradley representative and ask for Repair Kit (part number S65-259).

Cause: Valve temperature is not properly set.

Solution: "Adjust the temperature" per steps on Page 24.

The precise temperature control allows users to select the ideal temperature for the type of food being smoked, ranging from low-and-slow for meats to higher temperatures for finely smoked fish.

Another notable aspect is the built-in temperature gauge, which provides real-time feedback on the internal temperature of the smoker. This eliminates any guesswork and allows for better monitoring of the smoking process. The digital control panel on these smokers makes it incredibly user-friendly, enabling the adjustment of both time and temperature with ease.

The construction quality of the WF2605 and WF2708 is commendable, featuring a durable stainless steel interior that is not only easy to clean but also resistant to corrosion.
