How do I test my Speakman SE-TW-EW Thermostatic Mixing Valve?

[Isabela]

To ensure your Speakman SE-TW-EW Thermostatic Mixing Valve is functioning correctly, follow these steps. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) recommends weekly testing of all safety emergency equipment, including your Speakman valve, to flush the line and confirm proper operation. Here's how: Weekly Testing: Activate the eye/face wash by pushing the push handle back 90°. This action starts the flow of tepid water through the system. Allow the water to run for a sufficient period to flush the system effectively. Verification: While the water is flowing, visually check the system for any leaks or malfunctions. Ensure the water temperature is within the tepid range specified for emergency use. Record Keeping: Use the testing record tag (91-0635) that came with your unit to document the inspection date and the inspector's initials. This record is crucial for compliance and tracking. Maintenance: If any problems are identified during testing, consult the maintenance section of your Speakman SE-TW-EW manual for repair or replacement guidance. Always shut off the water supply before performing any maintenance. By adhering to these steps and conducting weekly tests, you can keep your Speakman SE-TW-EW Thermostatic Mixing Valve ready for emergency use.
