1 T H ER M O S TAT I C M I X I N G VA LV E RAISING THE BAR The new patented ECOTHERM thermostatic mixing valve range has been designed with safety as a paramount consideration. All valves are watermarked and approved to AS/NZS incorporating Australian ingenuity, quality and durability to allow compliance with the national plumbing standard AS/NZS With over 12 years of experience in the heating control valve market AVG is proud to offer to the market the new ECOTHERM range of valves. PROUDLY AUSTRALIAN MADE CUTTING EDGE INNOVATION DESIGNED WITH EXCELLENT SCALD PROTECTION The ECOTHERM thermostatic mixing valve has been developed with the installer and service provider in mind. The valve is supplied complete and requires no assembly. Plumbing connections are available in 15mm and 20mm configurations complete with compression nuts and olives. The hot and cold and mixed water inlets and outlets are provided with integral isolation ball valves. The valve design also incorporates optional hot untempered and cold water bypass plumbing connections as standard with integral isolation ball valves. Hot and cold pressure gauges are included as standard with the ECOTHERM to assist the installer and service provider to confirm balanced inlet pressures. Note: for optimum performance it is recommended that the inlet pressures be balanced to within ± 10%. BUILT IN SAFETY FEATURES TM AUSTRALIAN OWNED AND MADE Tel: 1800 AVG AUS ( )

2 FE ATURES FEATURES Patent application pending Proudly Australian made Lead free design Just add water, the ECOTHERM thermostatic mixing valve comes pre -assembled in one piece, tested and ready to install Operates in any orientation Suitable for multiple outlet installations Integral hot and cold by - passes with stainless steel isolating ball valves as standard Digital temperature readout option Optional additional by pass options utilizing all directional stainless steel ball valves with either swivel elbows for above or below entry or straight connectors for side entry The ECOTHERM is supplied tested and pre set to 38 C Cold water shut off each ECOTHERM cartridge is subjected to a cold water shut off test as part of the test procedure. Integral tamper proof stainless steel isolating ball valves Mixed outlet fitting with temperature test point position and remote temperature sensing position Drain back protection to prevent drain back issues while servicing the ECOTHERM thermostatic mixing valve an integral stainless steel ball valve is included on the mixed water outlet as standard. Stainless steel plumbing connection fittings Quick and easy serviceable hot and cold filter and check valve cartridges Quick and easy serviceable thermostatic cartridge Stainless steel cased water pressure gauges

3 PERFORMANCE PERFORMANCE Temperature stability is a pre requisite for the ECOTHERM thermostatic mixing valve range which incorporates the internationally acclaimed technical advantages of the VERNET CA43 thermostatic cartridge. The valve geometry and water flow ways have been engineered to minimise temperature fluctuations at the point of use where variations in water supply temperatures and pressure occur. Australian ingenuity within the design ensures the ECOTHERM has excellent control during an ambient start up, preventing temperature spikes at the outlet. To maintain a constant mixed water temperature control the ECOTHERM will maintain± 2 C accuracy from the original set temperature after any fluctuation of the water temperature or pressure within the plumbing system. All valves are factory pre-set to 38 C, pressure tested and the anti-scald function is individually checked. The ECOTHERM thermostatic mixing valve will perform equally well in any orientation and has ball valve control from either side of the valve. Each ECOTHERM is supplied with a comprehensive technical installation, commissioning, service, maintenance and troubleshooting booklet.

5 COST SAV I NGS With the service provider in mind the ECOTHERM can be fully serviced without having to undo any plumbing connections. The working components of the valve consist of a removable thermostatic cartridge and hot and cold inlet cartridges incorporating a filter and check valve. (See drawings). PIPEWORK CONFIGURATIONS AND CONCEALED BOX DETAIL MAJOR COST SAVINGS ON SERVICING With the service provider in mind the ECOTHERM thermostatic mixing valve has been designed to reduce the time and costs associated with repairs and annual servicing. The ECOTHERM can be fully serviced without having to undo any plumbing connections. The working components of the valve consist of a quick and easily removable thermostatic cartridge and hot and cold inlet cartridges incorporating a filter and check valve. Utilizing the integral isolation ball valves within the ECOTHERM the hot, cold and mixed water supply can be turned off and the cartridges can be easily serviced or replaced.

7 STAINLESS STEEL BYPASS BALL VALVE ECOTHERM STAINLESS STEEL BYPASS BALL VALVE The ECOTHERM thermostatic mixing valve can be fitted with stainless steel isolation ball valves for those installations requiring extra by pass plumbing. The purpose built ball valve is all directional with tamper proof isolation from either side of the valve depending on which orientation the ball valve is fitted. The outlet fitting of the ball valve is available in 15mm and 20mm and can be either a swiveling elbow or a straight union connection. Examples of the ECOTHERM by pass stainless steel ball valve can be seen in the plumbed box configuration examples shown. Refer to the images of the ball valve showing the swiveling elbow and the straight union connection.

11 CON FIGUR AT IONS ECOTHERM CONFIGURATIONS AND BY- PASS OPTIONS The ECOTHERM thermostatic mixing valve basic module is the foundation building block for a myriad of plug in plumbing and by pass options. AVG offers a concealed box with a locked stainless steel door to prevent unauthorized access to the thermostatic mixing valve. The concealed box can be provided plumbed with copper tails or alternatively with male compression connections complete with nuts and olives. The base configuration plumbed with tails, offers hot,cold and mixed water connections in 15mm or 20mm or a mixture of both. All water connections can access the ECOTHERM from above or below or side entry to suit the individual installation requirements. If the hydraulic design requires untempered hot or cold with isolation located within the concealed box, the ECOTHERM comes standard with 15mm, 20mm or a mixture of both plumbed by pass options. In addition to or inclusive of the standard by pass options the ECOTHERM can be plumbed utilizing the stainless steel all directional swivel by pass isolation ball valve. The ball valve assembly can be plumbed with either an all directional swivel elbow for either above or below entry or with a straight connection for side entry. This additional by pass option can be plumbed in either 15mm, 20mm or a combination of both.

12 TMV MON ITORI NG TMV MONITORING SYSTEM The ECOTHERM thermostatic mixing valve is also available with the ECOTEMP temperature monitoring system which provides institutions with performance data on the day to day operation of the thermostatic mixing valves installed. This function answers the need by government authorities to provide safeguards for patients and carers. The ECOTEMP monitoring system also addresses the NSW health department requirements for monthly temperature readings. This is a time consuming task which will free up plumbing maintenance personnel to carry out other tasks and to save time and money. The ECOTEMP monitoring system is able to provide the maintenance personnel with a print out of the performance of each individual ECOTHERM thermostatic mixing valve throughout the facility. 24 hour monitoring Alert status alarm Automatic temperature logging Statistical reports to assist maintenance personnel Reporting program tailored to the engineering staff requirements Optional thermistor protocols The ECOTEMP thermostatic mixing valve monitoring system is ideal for new installations Australian Valve Group Pty Ltd Unit 2, 9-11 Noble St, Kewdale, WA, 6105 PO Box 430, Belmont, WA, 6984 Tel: 1800 AVG AUS ( ) Fax: (08) ABN:
