THERMO VALVE CHECK

M1231036900073

.

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

valve in it with a stick (approximately 6 mm 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 ± 34.7 °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 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.
