The Barberi L-Comfort Series thermostatic mixing valve is designed for sanitary, heating, and industrial water systems requiring precise temperature control. Its key benefit is maintaining a constant mixed water temperature, even with fluctuating inlet temperatures or pressures, preventing scalding with its safety shut-off feature. However, it requires careful installation to ensure optimal performance and safety. This valve efficiently mixes hot and cold water, delivering a stable outlet temperature between 20-43°C, and features a body made of durable brass.

The working temperature range for the Barberi L-Comfort Series thermostatic mixing valve is from 20°C to 43°C.
The valve is factory pre-set to a mixed temperature of 40°C, within the 20-43°C range.
The body of the valve is made from Brass UNI EN 12165 CW617N.
Yes, it can be used with water/glycol solutions up to a maximum concentration of 30%.
The maximum static pressure is 10 bar, and the maximum working pressure is 5 bar.
The accuracy of the outlet mixing temperature is +/- 2°C.
This valve complies with EN1111 and EN1287 standards.
In case of a failure in the cold water inlet, the thermostatic valve L-comfort acts as a safety device by closing the hot water flow immediately to prevent dangerous burns.
Verify that the hot water supply is functioning and the temperature setting is correctly adjusted. Check for any blockages in the hot water inlet.
Ensure inlet pressures are within the specified range (hot and cold pressure ideally 3 bar). Check for significant differences between inlet pressures (max difference 4 bar). Confirm no major fluctuations in the main supply.
Tighten the 3/4" Male connections. Ensure appropriate sealing tape or compound is used. Inspect connections for damage.
This is a critical safety feature. If suspected failure, immediately cease use and consult a qualified technician. Ensure the valve is installed correctly according to EN1111 standards.
Check for blockages in the inlets or the flow regulator. Ensure the system pressure is adequate. Clean any visible debris from the connections.
Setup: Ensure the valve is installed in the correct orientation, paying attention to hot and cold water inlet markings. Connections are 3/4" Male. For optimal safety and performance, it is recommended that installation is carried out by a qualified professional. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks.
Compatibility: This valve is designed for use with sanitary water and water/glycol solutions (up to 30%). It is compatible with heating circuits, heat generators (wall-hung boilers, wood boilers, heat pumps), and industrial water plants. The maximum static pressure is 10 bar, and the maximum working pressure is 5 bar. Ensure your system's pressures and temperatures fall within the specified ranges.
Care: The body of the valve is made of Brass UNI EN 12165 CW617N. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the materials. Regular checks of inlet connections and the overall system integrity are recommended. The internal components, such as the flow regulator (PSU) and gaskets (EPDM), are designed for longevity but may require periodic inspection or replacement based on water quality and usage.
