Very easy to install. I'm a homeowner with little plumbing experience and I was able to install the mixing valve with ease. Performed perfectly. Easy to adjust water temp.

Works like a charm

Comments about Taco 1" Sweat 5004 Mixing Valve:

I replaced a 10+ year old Sarco mixing valve with this valve. One of the best features is the sweat/union connections. The old mixing valve had threaded connections which had to be cut out. If I have to change this valve in the future I can just take off the unions and insert a new valve. I have used many of these valves and never had one fail yet. I used this valve for a mixing valve for radiant floor heat. Works like a charm.

Comments about 3/4" Sweat 5003 Mixing Valve:

I installed this on my hot water heater. This serves several purposes: 1. It regulates the water temperature better, the temperature does not go up or down as the tank empties, or when the burner comes on. and 2. I can get more hot water out of my 30 gallon tank. We do not run out of water any more. The price was a lot less than a new water heater and the installation was easier as well.I also bought two Sharkbite Temp gauges. One on the hot water, and one on the mixed water. It is a bit of an extravagance, but it makes it very easy to see how well it is working, and it is working very well. It confirms the factory setting of 130 degrees is correct as well as steady, and when I changed it, I could see the result quickly and easily. The gauge on the hot water outlet shows me how much the Honeywell thermostat is off, (which was considerable). I put the water heater at 160 degrees, and the mixed temp was rock steady at 130. Also, now, I NEVER run out of hot water.I set the mixed temp down to about 118, and the hot water to 140. We are very happy with this setting. Steady temperature and plenty of hot water.If you choose to economize and get only one gauge, put it on the hot water side. You can always measure the mixed water with a meat thermometer at a faucet. You cannot measure the hot water side.Reading the other messages, it looks like there is an O ring that can go bad. It would probably be a good idea to buy it for a spare when you get this. [...]

Replaced Hoffman Specalty valves

Comments about 3/4" Sweat 5003 Mixing Valve:

Replaced a couple of Hoffman Specialty tempering valves that had failed after 10 years. They wanted $258 each for internal guts to repair the valves with 3 weeks lead time! The TACO replacement valves at $90 each were a no brainer. Arrived within 2 days and installed and up and running perfect within a couple hours.

Pros

Comments about Taco 1" Sweat 5004 Mixing Valve:

ADJUSTMENT NOT VERY ACCURATE AND SEEMS TO DEVELOPE LEAKS AFTER SEVERAL ADJUSTMENTS TRIES AT THE TRIANGLE TURN DEVICE

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Merchant response: If a leak develops after installing the unit, check the gaskets for rips or tears. We also recommend is installing a temperature gauge, so that you can see the temperature you are setting your valve to and get an accurate temperature setting for your system. No teflon tape or thread sealant is required with these rubber gaskets. Replacement gaskets are available on our site.

Comments about 3/4" Sweat 5003 Mixing Valve:

I want to maintain a temperature of 100 deg. F in the floor. This valve did an excellent job doing just that last winter. It was easy to install and can be replaced if there is a problem. I would use this valve for that application again.

Q:
Does this have check valves (on the inlets)?

  A:
  It does not. If you need a check valve, you would either need to install one in-line or use a circulator pump with an integral check valve.

  We do not believe so. If anything, that might restrict the flow even more.

  A:
  I had the same problem with this valve in the past. Probably too many sediments in the water. You can try taking it apart, pretty easy to do, and inspect and clean the inside. Should do the trick. If you don't have a sediment filter on your water line, it may be a good idea to install one. That is my plan for this summer.

  The cartridge may have failed. You may want to try replacing the cartridge (part 5002-006RP).

Q:
How is this 5003 different than the 5000 mixing valve I bought 5 years ago and no longer available? I have a leaking valve that needs o-ring replacement but can not find where to buy. Must I buy a new valve every time this happens?

  The part number for the O-ring gaskets is 5002-002RP. This should work for your existing valve as well.
