A Close Look at the Symmons 7-1000 -200-PRV TempControl Hi-Low TMV and Piping System
Sep 6th 2024
For more than 50 years, Symmons Temptrol mixing valves have been held in high regard among plumbers, contractors and engineers. They deliver unflinching performance where precise, dependable temperature control is required, and is a matter not only of comfort but of public safety.
This short guide will take a closer look into the Symmons 7-1000 -200 PRV TempControl Hi-Low TMV and Piping System, with particular scrutiny on the Tempcontrol TMV that is the heart of the assembly.
About the 7-Series Tempcontrol TMV
At the core of these Symmons 7-1000 -200-PRV TMV and piping systems is a Symmons 7-series Tempcontrol TMV.
These Symmons thermostatic mixing valves are made with lead-free components, with less than .25% lead content with respect to wetted surfaces.
They feature lead-free brass valve castings along with lead-free internal components of bronze and stainless steel.
These TMVs satisfy the requirements of ASSE 1017 for “master mixing valves” used for controlling the temperature of potable water supplies. ASSE 1017 valves may also be used in hot water recirculation systems.
In addition, these TMVs are compliant with CSA Standard B.125.3, as well as NSF Standards 372 (for lead-free construction) as well as NSF Standard 61 Annex G, which signifies that these valves meet leachate requirements for both metals and nonmetals.
The alloys used in the construction of these Symmons thermostatic mixing valves are remarkably durable and corrosion-resistant, ensuring long service lifespan and minimal investment in maintenance.
The design of this cartridge also contains a unique turbulator, a component that focuses water flow on the thermal motor to guarantee swift responses to inlet water temperature. In addition, this aspect of design and operation also offers superior temperature control at low pressures and flow rates.
On that note, the 7-series of Symmons TMVs are made with one-piece valve cartridges, resulting in a simpler assembly with fewer moving parts, allowing for quick, efficient maintenance.
In the same thread, the parts of 7-series TMVs are compatible with those of the 5 and 6-series, further streamlining maintenance protocols, and guaranteeing a higher level of accessibility to necessary parts.
With all of this being said, the 7-series of Symmons TMVs offers precise temperature control and protections against scalding. The valve allows for 4 complete 360° revolutions of the handle, enabling finer adjustments to output temperature, and greater overall control.
The level of precise control in water temperature has been elevated in these Symmons thermostatic mixing valves, and operators can control temperature within 5° up to 150°, thanks in part to a thermal motor that responds rapidly to changes in inlet water temperature.
These valves are also pressure-tested to 125 PSI and are made with integral stainless steel check stops that prevent thermal bleed over and which also allow for easy water shutoff.
They also feature tamper-resistant hex bolts along with safety lock nuts that prevent unwanted or unauthorized adjustments to temperature.
About This Symmons TempControl Piping System
As for this specific Hi-Low piping system, the Symmons 7-1000 -200-PRV, it, like the others in the same series, is made with lead-free, compliant valves and components as described.
Moreover, they consist of two-valve systems with a pressure reducing valve, and come pre-configured with pressure and temperature gauges.
This specific assembly has a minimum flow rate of half a gallon per minute (.5 GPM), and up to 167 GPM at 45 PSI.
These Hi-Low piping systems are factory assembled and tested for reliability and dependability prior to shipping, and like the TMVs they contained are engineered for ease of maintenance.
Their parts are backwards compatible with previous 5-1000-200-PRV and 6-1000-200-PRV piping systems, keeping maintenance streamlined and simplified.
Each controller also contains a removable cartridge with a stainless steel piston, thermal motor and turbulator.
They are also designed for ease of inspection and repair, helping to keep ongoing maintenance costs and investments down. Moreover, the entire valve control mechanism is housed in an easily replaceable cartridge, as detailed above.
All in all, these TempControl Hi-Low systems were designed to deliver exceptional performance in applications in which there is a high chance of water line pressure fluctuations. This uniquely situates these piping assemblies to be able to handle not only high and low flow applications, but those in which the pressure can shift without warning.
These piping systems have a variety of uses in various commercial, industrial, and institutional settings, as well as in hospitality.
