M1231204900227

.

1. Obtain a container filled with water and place the thermo 

valve in it with a stick [approximately 6 mm (0.24 inch) in 
diameter] inserted. Gradually warm up the water while 
stirring, and check that the thermo valve opening 
temperature is within the standard value. The stick rises 
when the thermo valve opens.

Standard value:
75 

± 1.5°C (167 ± 2.7°F)

2. Warm up the water to the full-open temperature of the 

thermo valve, and check that the valve lift amount is within 
the standard value.

Standard value: 

Full-open temperature 95

°C (203°F) or more

Valve lift amount when it is fully opened: 

3 mm (0.12 inch) or more

NOTE: Measure the height of the fully closed valve in 
advance, and then measure the valve height at fully open 
temperature to calculate the lift amount.
