HORNE 25 THERMOSTATIC MIXING VALVE

Type H-2501

Installation, Commissioning, Operating & Maintenance Instructions

1 Installing the Horne 25 TMV

1.1 Install the Horne 25 TMV as close as possible to the outlet to comply with HTM

2027 and HTM 2040. The dead leg from the Horne 25 TMV to the outlet should

not exceed 2 metres.

1.2 The Hot & Cold water supplies should be from a common source, i.e. the static

pressures should be equal.

1.3 Isolating valves must be fitted to the hot & cold water supply pipes.

1.4 The Horne 25 TMV can be fitted in any attitude with the mixed water outlet

pointing upwards, downwards, horizontally or at any angle between these planes.

2 FLUSHING OF PIPEWORK TO WATER SUPPLY BYLAWS (SCOTLAND) 2003

AND THE WATER SUPPLY (WATER FITTINGS) REGULATIONS 1999.

2.1 The most common cause for complaint regarding the performance of a valve is

traced to dirt or debris in the TMV or check valves.

2.2 Before a Horne 25 is commissioned, the hot and cold water pipework should be

thoroughly flushed using the FLUSHING KIT shown in the diagram overleaf. The

FLUSHING KIT comprises a screwed adapter to fit the strainer body and a plastic

pipe to enable water to be flushed to drain. The kit may be ordered separately.

2.3 DO NOT FLUSH THE PIPEWORK BY REMOVING THE STRAINER

BASKETS AND OPENING THE TAPS.

2.4 DO NOT OPEN the hot water tap before flushing the hot and cold water pipework.

2.5 The flushing procedure is as follows :-

2.6 During this procedure, keep the hot and cold water taps closed.

2.7 Close the hot and cold water ISOLATING VALVES.

2.8 Unscrew the END CAP (16) and remove the STRAINER BASKET (14) from the

strainer at the hot inlet.

2.9 Screw the FLUSHING KIT into the STRAINER BODY (13).

2.10 Place the outlet of the flushing pipe where it can drain freely. If draining into a

wash basin or bath, make sure that the plug is NOT in place and that water passing

through the flushing pipe is free to drain.

2.11 Open the hot water ISOLATING VALVE and allow any air in the pipework to

escape until water begins to flow to drain. Allow water to flow to drain until it is

perfectly clean and free from any dirt or debris.

2.12 Close the hot water ISOLATING VALVE.

2.13 Remove the FLUSHING KIT and replace the STRAINER BASKET (14) and END

CAP (16).

2.14 Repeat for the cold water inlet.

2.15 Re-open both ISOLATING VALVES.

2.16 The flushing procedure has now been completed.

3 COMMISSIONING A NEW HORNE 25 TMV

3.1 Open the hot water tap and allow water to run through the Horne 25 TMV.

3.2 Check that the hot and cold water supplies are at or near their designated

temperatures and pressures.

3.3 Measure the temperature at the hot water tap. This is the temperature of the mixed

water.

3.4 If necessary, make minor adjustments to the temperature setting as described in

Section 4 below.

3.5 CARRY OUT A COLD WATER FAILURE TEST AS BELOW

3.5.1 Close the cold water isolating valve and simultaneously measure the mixed water

temperature. The flow of mixed water should immediately stop and then a drip or

trickle may be seen. The temperature of any water coming from the tap should not

be more than 2C above the mixed water temperature measured in 3.3 above.

3.5.2 If the Horne 25 TMV performs satisfactorily, close the hot water tap and open the

cold water isolating valve.

3.5.3 If the water coming from the tap is at a temperature of more than 2C above the

mixed water temperature setting, then the Horne 25 TMV is not cutting off the hot

water supply properly. The most likely cause for this to happen is dirt inside the

TMV. It should be dismantled and thoroughly cleaned and the pipework flushed

again. See 2.5 - 2.16.

3.6 The Horne 25 TMV is supplied with WFBS listed integral single check valves

located in each of the inlet couplings. To ensure the check valves are working

properly, proceed as follows :-

3.6.1 Start with both hot and cold taps closed and both hot and cold water isolating

valves open.

3.6.2 Close the cold water supply isolating valve.

3.6.3 Remove the cold water inlet STRAINER CAP (16) at the inlet to the Horne 25

TMV. After initial draining of water, there should be no flow whatsoever. This

indicates that the check valve at the cold water inlet is giving a tight shut-off.

3.6.4 Replace the cold water inlet STRAINER CAP (16) and open the cold water

isolating valve.

3.6.5 Close the hot water supply isolating valve.

Issue 3 8/05 4

3.6.6 Remove the hot water inlet STRAINER CAP (16) at the inlet to the Horne 25

TMV. After initial draining of water, there should be no flow whatsoever. This

indicates that the check valve at the hot water inlet is giving a tight shut-off.

3.6.7 Replace the hot water inlet STRAINER CAP (16) and open the hot water isolating

valve.

3.7 The HORNE 25 TMV has now been commissioned.

4 TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT

4.1 The Horne 25 TMV is set at the factory to control the mixed water temperature at

approximately 42C.

4.2 The range of temperature adjustment is approximately 25C - 50C. To alter the

temperature setting, carry out the following procedure :-

4.3 Check that the cold and hot water supplies are at or near to their designated

temperatures and pressure.

4.4 Open the mixed water outlet and allow water to flow until the mixed water

temperature has stabilised. Make sure that the dead leg from the HWS to the

HORNE 25 TMV and from the HORNE 25 TMV to the outlet has fully cleared.

4.5 Use the ADJUSTING KEY (1), turn the ADJUSTING SCREW (2) clockwise to

reduce the mixed water temperature or anti-clockwise to increase it. Adjustments of

not more that half a turn at a time should be made. The temperature at the outlet

should be measured and allowed to stabilise before any further adjustments are

made.

4.6 After making an adjustment, close the hot water supply isolating valve for 10

seconds then reopen it and measure the mixed water temperature again. If a further

adjustment is required, repeat the procedure.

5 IN-SERVICE TESTING

5.1 Periodic testing should be carried out to check whether any deterioration has

occurred in the performance of the HORNE 25 TMV.

5.2 A COLD WATER FAILURE TEST should be carried out as described in 3.5.1

above. If the water coming from the tap is at a temperature of more than 2C above

the mixed water temperature setting then the HORNE 25 TMV is due for

maintenance.

NOTE: A Thermostatic Mixing Valve in need of maintenance can be undetectable

in normal use and only become apparent when a disruption occurs in the hot or cold

water supply pressures or temperatures.

Horne Engineering Ltd

Issue 3 8/05 5

5.3 The frequency of in-service testing depends upon the condition of water passing

through the TMV. In-service testing must be carried out more frequently in hard

water areas than in soft water areas. As a general guide, in-service testing should be

carried out at intervals somewhere between 6 months and 12 months. In-service

testing should be carried out at least every 12 months and, where the water is hard,

the interval may be less than 6 months. Experience of local conditions and the in-

service testing record will dictate the frequency of in-service testing.

6MAINTENANCE

6.1 Maintenance of all Thermostatic Mixing Valves is essential. If a TMV does not

operate properly, there is a risk of someone being scalded. The frequency of

maintenance depends upon the condition of the water. The remarks in 5.3 regarding

in-service testing apply equally to maintenance.

6.2 "O" ring seals should be replaced at least every 3 years.

6.3 The THERMOSTAT ELEMENT (6) should be replaced at least every 6 years. All

other parts should be replaced only if physical damage has occurred.

6.4 MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

6.4.1 Close hot and cold water inlet isolating valves and open pipework to allow

pipework to drain.

6.4.2 CLEANING STRAINERS - Unscrew END CAPS (16) and withdraw STRAINER

BASKETS (14). Clean the baskets and descale them, if necessary.

THERMOSTATIC MIXING VALVE MECHANISM. Minor maintenance can be

carried out with the HORNE 25 in situ :-

6.4.3 Unscrew VALVE COVER (3). Remove THERMOSTAT ELEMENT ASSEMBLY

(6), SLIDE VALVE ASSEMBLY (7) and RETURN SPRING (8).

6.4.4 The SLIDE VALVE ASSEMBLY (7) is a precision part and must be handled with

care.

6.4.5 Remove the ADJUSTING SCREW (2) by turning it clockwise until the thread

disengages.

6.4.6 The SLIDE VALVE SEAL (9) can be removed by piercing the rubber with a sharp

pointed probe. Take care not to bruise the edges of the groove.

6.4.7 Ifthe SLIDE VALVE SEAL (9) has been removed, then it MUST be replaced with

a new one. NEVER re-use an "O" ring.

6.4.8 Thoroughly clean all components.

6.4.9 Flush out the valve body by replacing the VALVE COVER (3) and ADJUSTING

SCREW (2) and opening the isolating valves and allowing water at full bore to pass

through the body to the outlet.

6.4.10 If dirt is seen during flushing then carry out the FLUSHING PROCEDURE in

Section 2.

6.4.11 Re-assemble the HORNE 25 TMV (See 6.6).

6.5 MAJOR MAINTENANCE

6.5.1 For this remove the HORNE 25 TMV from the pipework.

6.5.2 Unscrew STRAINER COUPLING NUTS (11) and the OUTLET PIPE

COUPLING.

6.5.3 Lift the valve out of the pipework.

6.5.4 DO NOT grip the valve body in a vice. This could distort the body and jam the

internal parts.

6.5.5 Remove the VALVE COVER (3) and internal parts as referred to in 6.3.1 to 6.3.4.

6.5.6 If the valve body requires de-scaling, remove all "O" ring seals and use a

proprietary fluid for this purpose. Do not put the THERMOSTAT ELEMENT

ASSEMBLY (6) in the descaling fluid.

6.5.7 Inspect the condition of the HOT VALVE FACE and the COLD VALVE FACE. If

the valve faces show signs of deterioration they can be resurfaced as follows :-

6.5.8 Using a mandrel (Tool No. 7342) lap the HOT VALVE FACE using a water

soluble scouring paste. Use 800 grade wet abrasive paper on a flat surface to lap the

COLD VALVE FACE.

6.5.9 Reassemble the HORNE 25 TMV.

6.6 Re-Assembly

6.6.1 When fitting new "O" rings, it is advisable to smear them sparingly with a WFBS

listed silicon grease.

6.6.2 Insert the components into the HORNE 25 TMV in the order shown on Drawing

7311.

6.6.3 Insert the ADJUSTING SCREW (2) into the VALVE COVER (3) and turn anti-

clockwise until the top of the ADJUSTING SCREW (2) is approximately 5mm

below the top of the lockshield.

6.6.4 When the internal components have been located loosely in the valve body, place

the VALVE COVER (3) over the THERMOSTAT ELEMENT ASSEMBLY (6)

and then push gently and turn until the thread on the VALVE COVER (3) engages

with the VALVE BODY (10). The internal components are self-aligning.

6.7 Check Valves

6.7.1 Check Valves are located within the STRAINER COUPLING (11). They are not

removable. They are designed for a long, maintenance-free life.
