אָפּעראַציע
The PROFLO PF4001LS valve is a pressure-balanced mixing valve. This means it automatically adjusts the hot and cold water mix to maintain a consistent temperature, even if there are sudden pressure drops in either the hot or cold supply lines (e.g., someone flushes a toilet). The valve operates by rotating the handle (part of the trim kit, sold separately) to control both water flow and temperature.
- טעמפּעראַטור קאָנטראָל: Rotate the handle to adjust the water temperature. Typically, rotating counter-clockwise increases hot water, and clockwise increases cold water.
- לויפן קאָנטראָל: Pulling the handle out or pushing it in (depending on trim kit design) controls the water flow.
- Temperature Limit Stop: Most trim kits include a temperature limit stop feature that can be set to prevent scalding. Refer to your trim kit's instructions for adjusting this.
וישאַלט
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your PROFLO valve.
- רייניקונג: Clean the visible parts of the valve (trim kit) with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- קאַרטראַדזשאַז פאַרבייַט: If you experience consistent drips, leaks, or difficulty in temperature control, the ceramic disc cartridge may need replacement. The one-piece design allows for relatively easy replacement. Turn off the water supply, remove the trim, and follow the instructions for cartridge removal and installation. Replacement cartridges are available from PROFLO or authorized dealers.
- פּעריאָדיש דורכקוק: Periodically inspect the valve and connections for any signs of leaks or corrosion. Address any issues promptly.
