Powers Hydroguard 410 5 Technical Instructions

DESCRIPTION
The Series 410 Hydroguard is a pressure compensating mixer
which delivers a predetermined water temperature, compen-
sating for pressure fluctuations in the hot or cold water supply.
The Series 410 Hydroguard features a poppet-type equaliz-
ing valve as part of a replaceable cartridge. The poppet-type
construction offers a distinct advantage, it will not stick
because of lime build-up or foreign particles in the supply.
The adjustable maximum temperature stop prevents acci-
dental scalding caused by overadjustment of the handle.
Many Series 410 valves and shower systems can be select-
ed to meet the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) [see
back page for details].

APPLICATION
The Series 410 Hydroguard is particularly recommended in
showers and shower bath installations for motels, hotels,
dormitories, and high rise apartment buildings.
OPERATION (SEE FIGURE 1)
Hot and cold water enter their respective ports and the pres-
sures are equalized through the action of the balance poppet
(1). The entire balancing poppet assembly is contained in a
Celcon chamber (2). This chamber is replaceable as a com-
plete cartridge. After the hot and cold pressures are equal-
ized, they are mixed by the action of a mixing plate (3). As
the temperature adjustment stem is rotated from shutoff to
maximum hot water temperature, the mixing plate passes
the required proportion of hot and cold water to produce the
control point. With the adjustment stem in its full clockwise
position, shutoff is obtained by closing both supplies.
The maximum temperature stop (4) allows the user to set the
maximum discharge temperature. This mixer does not recog-
nize supply water temperature changes, so any variation in
the water temperature will affect the control point and the
maximum temperature setting.
