mixing valve

Eileen Olive

The TT 110 is wired and pre-piped to work in conjunction with the indirect tank, internally. That is fine, I am just looking for the best way to pipe-in the mixing valve so I can get the most from this boiler.

Mixing valve

I am installing a new 40-gal indirect HW tank into my basement, TT 110, no p/s piping, CI rads, ODR and I would like to get the most out of this combo. I have been told that using a mixing valve is the way to go. What would be my best choice for the valve, and what would be the best way to pipe it in? Four people, one bathroom, 2 sinks.

Check these out including their application guidelines at taco-hvac.com. They have piping diagrams for different setups.

These are not, to my knowledge, scald protection (I do not believe that they respond so quickly as to qualify), but that is what Symmons shower valves are for

Now, as an aside, I like to set up mixing valves to temper the domestic hot water to the fixtures, but also to run a full-temperature line expressly to the dishwasher and laundry (where there is minimal scald hazard and where hotter water might be appreciated).

My default tank setting is 140F for Legionella control and 120 to the fixtures. Your settings may vary.

Thank You

I like your logic. I will look into this via my supply house. Thanks for the advice concerning the laundry/dish washer, I had not pondered that, but I do like it.

Quick Question

Are you using a Zone Control with Priority for your zones?

Eileen Olive

No zones

There are no zones, just the indirect HW tank.

Sorry But

that makes no sense. An indirect tank is using the boiler to supply it's hot water threw the coil. Has to be zoned off the boiler.
