Can anybody ID this German thermostatic mix valve?

Only idenfying mark is an “H” Here are the pics. Installer never adjusted it and I have no info on it and don’t know how to adjust it. Thanks in advance!

  • That's a fill valve, not a mix valve.

    "H" = European Honeywell?
    8.33 lbs./gal. x 60 min./hr. x 20°ΔT = 10,000 BTU's/hour

    Two btu per sq ft for degree difference for a slab

    Thanks! I cannnot find another adj valve anywhere, so I don’t think he put in the right valve or its in the wrong place. It’s for a Triangle Tube Instinct Combi that was installed by a known questionable tech who was fired after our install for theft. Couple more pictures, I welcome feedback from those who work with these for a living, I’m an electronics engineer.

    Looks like someone jammed a press female adapter on the outlet? I think that is a BSP thread.

    What temperature are you trying to adjust?

    I’d doubt a German made valve would use psi instead of bar , and 1/2 instead of mm.
    Why do you think it’s German?

    There was an error rendering this rich post.

    A mixing valve has 3 ports, a fill valve has 2 ports. That's very much like Caleffi's design. Showing the pressure gauge placement.

    I’m not concerned about the fill valve anymore I’m just curious why there’s not a thermostatic mixing valve. Oh, and the fill valve said made in Germany.

    Why do you think that you need a thermostatic mixing valve?

    Can we see a close-up pic of the printing on the red plastic cap?

    Typically you do not need mixing valve on a combi.  The control should manage the outlet temperature accurately 

    There are s few states that require mixing calves on all DHW heaters, Vermont, Maine perhaps
