Tekmar Controls 713 Valve
Professional hydronic system management requires precise blending of supply and return water, and the Tekmar 713 3-Way mixing valve is the industry standard for manual temperature regulation. Built with a heavy-duty brass mixing valve body (CW 617N brass), this 1 1/2-inch FNPT component is designed for both closed loop hydronic systems and open loop configurations. It features a high operating temperature range of -20 to 248Ā°F and a maximum operating pressure of 146 psi (10 bar), ensuring it stands up to demanding commercial and residential boiler applications. The Tekmar Controls 713 utilizes an EPDM peroxide O-ring for main seals and a Viton shaft seal, providing a maximum leak-through rate of just 1% to accommodate thermal expansion. While the included handle allows for immediate manual positioning, the valve is fully field-compatible with the Tekmar 741 Actuating Motor for those looking to upgrade to automated, outdoor reset-driven performance.
Key Benefits- Precise Hydronic Blending: Effectively mixes high-temperature supply water with cooler system return water to protect boilers and optimize heat emitter output.
- Durable Brass Construction: High-quality brass mixing valve body resists corrosion and maintains structural integrity in both chilled and hot water applications.
- Versatile Media Compatibility: Rated for use with water and glycol mixtures (up to 60% concentration), as well as ethanol-based antifreeze and glycerine.
- Automation Ready: Features a removable manual handle that allows for easy integration with a Tekmar 741 or similar actuating motor for fully automated control.
- Low Leak-Through Rate: Engineered with a 1% maximum leak-through rate to allow for safe water expansion during rapid temperature shifts.
Can the Tekmar 713 be used in potable water systems?
No, this valve is specifically designed for non-potable hydronic heating and cooling applications and does not meet low-lead standards for human consumption.
Is this valve compatible with automated actuators?
Yes, while it functions as a manually operated mixing valve out of the box, it is designed to be upgraded with a Tekmar 741 actuating motor for 24V modulation.
What fluid types are acceptable for this valve?
It is compatible with hot water, chilled water, and glycol mixtures up to 60%. It should not be used with mineral oils or chlorinated pool water.
