Cash Acme 3/4 Inch HG110-D Thermostatic Mixing Valve with SharkBite Union Connections, Brass Plumbing Fitting, 24505

Getting the temperature just right is a guessing game, but it only took a few minutes with a thermometer at the kitchen sink to figure it out.

Fixed my inconsistencies on my domestic hot water temp, my taco 5000-3 valve prematurely fell apart and this easily replaced it and fits in its place just unscrewed the unions and replaced the valve and gaskets! Now consistent hot water, increased efficiency and reduced water waste. Highly recommend and a direct replacement of a existing valve with unions including taco

I love this mixing valve. I have been using them for years in many installations. Turn your water heater back up to 140 and set the mixing valve to about 110. You now have more hot water because it’s pre-mixed which means less waste. When you take your shower you just turn on the hot and it’s a wonderful thing. I’ve also heard that higher temperatures in your water heater can kill bacteria in your tank that lower temperatures can’t. Please do your own research.Again we love the ease of installation and the ease of use. Please NOTE you must must must deburr the ends of all the pipe (Pex, copper or cpvc) because the o ring can be Damaged if the edge is sharp. Sharkbite makes a good tool that does this for about $12 and it has a depth gauge to insure the correct insertion depth info the sharkbite push to connect fittings.

I have been using sharkbites for years, and the only time they’ve failed me is when I failed to push them together all the way! This valve works really well. It mixes the water so it is the perfect temperature. I bought a nice fast-recovery water heater, and the unit has a huge deadband (turns on when water is 10 degrees below setpoint and off when water is 10 degrees above) so I needed someway to control it. It steps 160 degree water down to 120 without ever feeling the heat!The reason I knocked off one star is that they claim these are factory-calibrated, but there is no way! The valve out of the box was turned all the way up and barely making 105 degree water. Luckily they make the range adjustable, just make sure you have someone reading the temperature of the water while you turn the valve. We were able to get it to 120 exact, and it’s holding there now!

Works great made instal easy

Easy to set the temperature

This junk doesn’t work at all. Either I just got a bad one or they have quality control issues…….

I just tapped into existing lines using sharkbite connectors and pex. Was really easy install. Now my toilet doesn't sweat and collect water at the base of it. So gross!

Replaced our broken one.Easy install: works!

Excellent work

Product is great and easy to install

Excellent 👌

So glad I tried this! Been living with Luke-warm water for years with multiple visits from the hot water tank company to replace practically everything else and tell me that it's normal. So easy to swap this with the 10 yr old cash acme valve that wasnt working. Didn't even need to use the connectors provided, the old ones attached perfectly. Took all of 10 min to install.
