Function

The Calefﬁ MixCal™ three-way thermostatic mixing valve is used in

systems producing domestic hot water or in hydronic and radiant

heating systems. With the unique mixing chamber design, MixCal™

produces very stable mixed water temperture as inlet temperatures

and pressures vary. Scale formation is minimized with anti-scale

polymer sliding surfaces, preventing siezing or erratic mixed

temperatures. O-ring seals made from durable peroxide-cured EPDM

resist wear from common water treatment additives such as chlorine

and chloramines.

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. Even when there

are pressure drops due to the drawing off of

hot or cold water for other uses, or variations

in the incoming temperature, the thermostatic

mixing valve automatically regulates the water

ﬂow to obtain the required temperature.

Instantaneous production of hot water

Calefﬁ MixCal series 521 thermostatic mixing valves should not be used with boilers without storage

that give you instaneous production of domestic hot water. Their addition would compromise the

correct operation of the boiler itself.

Use

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.

They should not be used where ASSE 1070 devices are required. Wherever a scald protection

feature is required, Calefﬁ series 5213 high performance mixing valve needs to be installed. For safety

reasons, it is advisable to limit the maximum mixed water temperature to 120ºF.

Installation

NOTE TO INSTALLER: The Calefﬁ MixCal series 521 thermostatic mixing valve should be installed

by qualiﬁed personnel, in accordance with local codes and ordinances. It is the responsibility of

the installer to properly select, install and adjust this thermostatic mixing valve as speciﬁed in these

instructions.

Before installing a Calefﬁ MixCal series 521 thermostatic mixing valve, the system must be

inspected to ensure that it’s operating conditions are within the range of the thermostatic mixing

valve checking, for example, the supply temperature, supply pressure, etc.

Systems where the Calefﬁ MixCal series 521 thermostatic mixing valve is to be installed

must be drained and cleaned out to remove any dirt or debris which may have accumulated during

installation. Failure to remove dirt or debris may affect performance and the manufacturer’s product

guarantee. The installation of ﬁlters of appropriate capacity at the inlet of the water from the mains

supply is always advisable. In area which are subject to highly aggressive water, arrangements must

be made to treat the water before it enters the valve.

Calefﬁ MixCal series 521 thermostatic mixing valves must be installed in accordance with the

diagrams in this manual, taking into account all current applicable standards.

Calefﬁ Mix Cal series 521 thermostatic mixing valves can be installed in any position, either vertical

or horizontal.

The following are shown on the mixer body:

– Hot water inlet, color red and marker “HOT”.

– Cold water inlet, color blue and marker “COLD”.

– Mixed water outlet, marker “MIX”.

Locking the setting

Position the handle to the number required

with respect to the index point. Unscrew the

head screw, pull off the handle and reposition

it so that the handle ﬁts into the internal slot

of the knob. Tighten the head screw. Index

Point

Check valves

In order to prevent undersirable backsiphonage, separate check valves should be installed in systems

with code “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.

NOTE TO INSTALLER: DO NOT TEST FIT OR INSTALL CHECK VALVES BEFORE SOLDERING. IF

INSTALLED, REMOVAL WILL REQUIRE DAMAGING THE CHECK VALVE AND IT WILL NO LONGER

BE USABLE.

The diagram below shows the order in which everything goes together. Note that the check valves

are installed on the hot and cold inlets, the mixed outlet does not require a check valve. Note that the

O-ring is installed on to the groove of the check valve.

After soldering the tailpieces into place, slide in the check valve into the tailpiece with o-ring going in

ﬁrst. It will click into place and then the screen will ﬁt into the groove of the tailpiece with the domed

end facing the mixing valve. Once the check valve and screen is installed, use the sealing washer

between the tailpiece and mixing valve body to create a seal and tighten down the union nut.

Commissioning

The special purpose of the thermostatic mixing valve must be commissioned in accordance with

current standards by qualiﬁed personnel using temperature measuring equipment. Calefﬁ codes

521419A, 521519A, and 521619A with integral outlet port temperature gauges provide a time-saving

temperature setting process to get close to the desired temperture. Use of a digital thermometer is

recommended for determining the ﬁnal setting of the mixed water temperature.

NOTE: Gauge adapters with 2” diameter, 20-210ºF scale, code NA10328 (1/2” sweat), NA10056

(3/4” sweat) or NA10058 (1” sweat) can be separately purchased and ﬁeld installed to the Calefﬁ

MixCal series 521 models sold without the integral gauge adapters.

After installation, the valve must be tested and commisioned in accordance with instructions given

below, taking into account current applicable standards.

1) Ensure that the system is clean and free from dirt or debris before commissioning the thermostatic

mixer.

2) It is recommended that the temperature is set using a suitable calibrated digital thermometer.

The valve must be commissioned by measuring the temperature of the mixed water emerging at the

point of use.

3) The maximum outlet temperature from the valve must be set taking account of the ﬂuctuations

due to simultaneous use. It is essential for these conditions to be stabilised before commissioning.

4) Adjust the temperature using the adjusting knob on the valve. For safety reasons. it is advisable to

limit the maximum mixed water temperature to 120ºF in domestic hot water systems.

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.

Recommended maintenance schedule:

Tests should be conducted regularly to monitor the thermostatic mixing valve performance, as

deterioration of performance could indicate that the valve and/or the system require maintenance. If,

during these tests, the temperature of the mixed water has changed signiﬁcantly in comparison with

the previous test, the details given in the installation and commissioning sections should be checked

and maintenance conducted.

The following should be checked regularly to ensure that the optimum performance levels of the

valve are maintained. Check every 12 months at least, or more often if necessary.

1) Check and clean the system ﬁlters.

2) Check that any check valves positioned upstream of the Calefﬁ thermostatic mixing valve are

operating correctly, without problems caused by impuritites.

3) Limescale can be removed from internal components of the thermostatic mixing valve by

immersion in a suitable de-scaling ﬂuid.

4) When the components which can be maintained have been checked, commission the valve.
