After testing a preliminary unit for more than a year, the regional rail operator installed 186 1” GURU PC®’s with heater assemblies […] and the project manager commented that since the installation there have been no freeze-ups.

ThermOmegaTech® is a leading designer and manufacturer of highly reliable thermostatic temperature control valves and thermal actuators. Beginning in Railroad and expanding into the Industrial, Commercial Plumbing, Aerospace, and Defense markets over the last 40 years, we have successfully implemented our thermostatic solutions to precisely monitor and control fluid based on temperature in dozens of applications.

Once reaching the desired pressure, I let the water run for a bit and then double checked the pressure. I also checked to make sure there were no water leaks at the pressure regulator valve.

Turn the water back on by opening the main water valve. Check the water pressure with the gauge. Slowly tighten the water pressure regulator adjustment screw clockwise until you have your desired water pressure. I found out the correct pressure should be between 70 and 85 psi. It may be different for you depending on your house and where you live.

I should have gotten a large adjustable wrench for the top piece of the regulator, but instead used channel lock plyers.

The first sign that something was wrong was there seamed to be a loss of water pressure in my house. Taking a shower, seamed like there was hardly any pressure. I hooked up the water pressure gauge and found that the pressure was fine. Running the water, into a bucket, made it easy to see that the flow of water was slower than it should be. I asked a neighbor if he was experiencing any loss in pressure or flow, since we are on the same water supply. He said that his water pressure and flow was fine. That removed the possibility that the problem may have been the water supply pressure or flow. This led me to believe that there was something wrong with my water pressure regulator.

I thought I was going to have to use one pipe wrench to hold the main body of the regulator while I used the other pipe wrench to turn the top piece of the regulator, but the pipes going into and out of the regulator seamed sturdy enough.

The top o-ring, of the basket, needs to be lubricated before being inserted. The rebuild kit came with a small packet of silicone lube. After inserting the basket there is a washer that goes on top of the basket. Then the spring, spring top piece, and regulator top piece screw on top. This is easier if you have the pressure screw turned almost all the way out so there is hardly any pressure on the spring.

After the successful CircuitSolver® installation, St. Elizabeth Healthcare Edgewood now has access to an on demand hot water supply in all wings, on every floor, at every fixture.

Before taking apart plumbing, it is important to shut off the main water supply and relieve the pressure in the pipes. My main shut off valve is right beside the water pressure regulator. After closing the main water valve, I relieved the pressure, in the pipes, by opening a water valve and letting the water run until the pressure was relieved.

Engineering, manufacturing, quality, and sales departments are located in one facility for maximum efficiency and effective communication.

At the heart of each of our temperature flow control valves is a paraffin wax actuator, an “engine” that phase changes from solid to liquid, liquid to solid, in response to temperature variations. This produces a defined and repeatable valve modulation, allowing for precise thermal control based solely on temperature. Learn More

Popular applications include freeze and scald protection, tepid water, washdown, steam tracing control, thermal balancing, mixing, diverting, drain tempering, and more.

Our self-acting temperature control valves are used in applications in railroad, commercial plumbing, aerospace, defense, and industrial markets in thousands of projects and products each year – ranging from fighter jets to commercial dishwashers and just about everything in between.

We have expanded into the Electronics Contract Manufacturing market, specializing in custom Printed Circuit Board assembly services. We offer various PCB types and technologies using automated and manual techniques for placing PCB components to meet the most rigorous design requirements for aerospace, military, and commercial markets.

Residents are more than pleased with hot water delivery times after the installation. Units with wait times of multiple minutes saw a dramatic reduction, fixtures now reached proper temperature in 20-30 seconds.

A typical steam tracing system using ThermOmegaTech’s® thermostatic steam trap valves can expect to save at least $354 per valve, per year.

I used the 9/16" wrench to loosen the jam nut and then remove the pressure adjustment screw. I started loosening the top piece of the regulator by using a pipe wrench. I found that it was easier to use channel lock plyers. Carefully remove the top piece because there is a spring, a washer, and metal piece that will fall out. I found that the main spring was broken and this was probably the main reason that my water flow had decreased. I then used the channel lock plyers to remove the basket from the regulator main body.

Our main goal is to supply our customers with the highest quality products while providing excellent customer service. We do this by maintaining a quality management system that is certified to AS9100D standards for the aerospace industry and ensuring rapid responses and an individualized customer support experience with our sales and technical teams.

ThermOmegaTech‘s engineers worked one-on-one with the customer, overcoming roadblocks to design a solution that satisfied all the project’s requirements […] After successful prototype testing, the customer implemented this custom thermal bypass valve into hundreds of military vehicles.

I turned on the main water to help flush out the main body of the regulator. To keep from making a mess, I used a piece of plastic to direct the water into a bucket. After rinsing out the regulator, I used an old t-shirt to clean out the inside of the regulator.

The Therm-O-Mix® Station was selected […] to promote overall conformity of safety equipment and procedures. Installation of 26 integrated units is currently underway at the facility and will be completed by the end of 2019.”

Rebuilding a water pressure regulator valve is easier than replacing one. I will show you how I rebuilt my water pressure regulator.

I used a water pressure gauge to help trouble shoot the main problem and to make sure I adjusted the rebuilt regulator to the right pressure.

We could not use a seal before because we could not allow more than a couple gallons an hour of water to the drain. Your valve dramatically decreases the water usage and as a result reduces the amount we send to drain.

We needed consistent hot water for sanitation and we really liked the cartridge technology. The washdown stations were easy to install and run effectively.

The system is efficiently delivering hot water to over 70 fixtures, of which include showers, sinks, safety showers and mop basins.
