THERMOSTAT CHECK
1. Immerse the thermostat in water, and heat the water while stirring. Check the thermostat valve opening temperature.
Standard value:
  • Valve opening temperature: 87 ± 2°C (189 ± 3°F)
2. Check that the amount of valve lift is at the standard value when the water is at the full-opening temperature.
noteMeasure the valve height when the thermostat is fully closed, and use this measurement to compare the valve height when the thermostat is fully open.
Standard value:
  • Full-opening temperature: 95°C (203°F)
  • Amount of valve lift: 8 mm (0.3 inch) or more
