Designed for hot water recirculation systems using storage-tank or indirect water heaters. It installs under the fixture and works with a circulator to automatically maintain hot water at the faucet.
When the circulator runs, cooled water in the hot-water line is pushed toward the valve. The valve allows that cooler water to pass into the cold-water line and return to the water heater. As hot water reaches the valve, the bi-metal element responds to the temperature and progressively closes the bypass. Once the desired temperature is reached, only a small amount of flow is maintained to keep the line warm.
Additional bypass valve kits can be added, with up to five kits supported per pump. Compatible with the AquaMotion AMH1K-3UV and APCOM FT1.
