• Check to make sure that va lve seat (2) is free from
foreign matters which would prevent valve from
seating tight.
• Check thermostat seal (3) for breakage, deterioration or any other damage.
• Check thermostatic movement of wax pellet as follows:
a. Immerse thermostat (1) in water, and heat water gradually.
b. Check that valve starts to open at specific temperature.
Temperature at which valve begins to open
80 – 84 °C (176 – 183 °F)
Temperature at which valve become fully open
95 – 97 °C (203 °F)
Va l v e l i ft
More than 8 mm at 95 °C (203 ° F)
If valve starts to open at a temperature substantially
below or above specific temperature, thermostat unit
should be replaced with a new one. Such a unit, if
reused, will bring about ov ercooling or overheating
tendency.
