The installation / field adjustment of the valve are the responsibility of the installer and shall be carried out in accordance with the instructions with this O&M. 2. Valve should be installed at a location where it can easily be cleaned, adjusted or repaired. 3. The mixing valve has integral checkstops. 4. The inlets are clearly marked on the valve body casting. Connect the hot water into the inlet marked "H" and cold water into the inlet marked "C". The unit will NOT work properly if the inlets are "reversed". 5. Use solder or pipe cement sparingly. Supply pipes should be flushed before the valve is connected. Flush outlet pipe and valve as soon as it is connected. NOTE: It may be necessary to recirculate the tempered water to the face/eyewash should the piping be exposed to excessive hot or cold conditions. Consult factory for proper piping. CAUTION IMPORTANT! These systems are designed to provide mixed water from 60 to 90°F (15 to 32°C) for eye/face wash applications only. Call Leonard for systems designed to operate at temperatures outside of this range. REMEMBER! THIS IS A CONTROL SYSTEM WHICH MUST BE CLEANED AND MAINTAINED ON A REGULAR BASIS (SEE MAINTENANCE GUIDE AND RECORD MGR-1001). 1360 Elmwood Avenue, Cranston, RI 02910 USA Phone: 401.461.1200 Fax: 401.941.5310 Email: info@leonardvalve.com Web Site: http://www.leonardvalve.com WARNING: This product can expose you to ! chemicals including lead, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.Ca.gov ADJUSTMENT AND SERVICE Leonard Type EXL Thermostatic Water Mixing Valves are simple in design and may be easily cleaned, adjusted and repaired. If the installation is accessible, servicing may be completed without disconnecting the valve. NOTE: Thermostatic Water Mixing Valves are REGULATING mechanisms, which must be regularly maintained to provide best performance. Frequency of cleaning depends on quality of local water conditions and usage. (See Maintenance Guide and Record MGR1000 and ANSI Z358.1). TO RESET ADJUSTABLE HIGH TEMPERATURE LIMIT STOP: 1. Remove screw in center of handle, remove handle. 2. Turn emergency fixture on. 3. Replace handle on stem and turn stem until desired maximum temperature is reached. 4. Remove handle. 5. Replace handle so that the "stop" inside the handle is up against the "web" on the valve cover, handle should not be able to be turned any "hotter". 6. Replace handle screw, tighten set screw if desired. WARNING WARNING! This Thermostatic Mixing Valve has an adjustable high temperature limit stop which must be checked. If temperature is too high, the installer MUST RESET this stop immediately. Always check the temperature of the mixed water when the lever handle is turned to full HOT. Excessively hot water is DANGEROUS AND MAY CAUSE SCALDING! The high temperature limit stop is factory set at approximately 90°F (32°C) with an incoming hot water supply temperature of 135°F (57°C). If the incoming hot water on the job is higher than 135°F, the valve when turned to full hot will deliver water in excess of 90°F (32°C) and the high temperature limit stop MUST BE RESET BY THE INSTALLER.

Unit shall be self contained and include a thermostatic water mixing valve, a dial thermometer on the outlet, checkstops, unit set for 85°F (29°C) and a maximum temperature of 90°F (32°C). Unit must be able to be set to the correct temperature for the specific contaminant but must be locked in place to prevent changing of the temperature by accident. Unit must be checked weekly for performance in conjunction with the requirements of ANSI Z358.1. WARNING! IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE SPECIFIER TO DETERMINE THE DELIVERED WATER TEMPERATURE TO EACH SAFETY FIXTURE. A COMFORTABLE RANGE IS 60°F TO 90°F (15° TO 32°C). IN CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE A CHEMICAL REACTION IS ACCELERATED BY WATER TEMPERATURE, A MEDICAL ADVISOR SHOULD BE CONSULTED FOR THE OPTIMUM TEMPERATURE FOR EACH APPLICATION. Specifications are subject to change without notice! CAUTION! All thermostatic water mixing valves have limitations. They will NOT provide the desired accuracy outside of their flow capacity range. Consult the Flow Capacity Chart and DO NOT OVERSIZE. Minimum flow must be no less than indicated. © 2025 Leonard Valve Company Printed in USA 1360 Elmwood Avenue, Cranston, RI 02910 USA Phone: 401.461.1200 Fax: 401.941.5310 Email: info@leonardvalve.com Web Site: http://www.leonardvalve.com REDUNDANT VALVE (EXL-350-LF ONLY) The EXL-350 Redundant Thermostatic Mixing Valve has been factory set at 90°F (32°C). This set point can be field adjusted with a 3/8" wrench (see diagram). "Clockwise" direction will increase temperature. Maximum set point is 100°F (38°C). Consult medical advisor for correct temperature setting. As a secondary level of protection, in the event of redundant valve failure, installing contractor may wish to prevent cold water contamination by installing a swing check valve on the cold water supply to the valve (only needed on EXL-350). This unit must be cycled each time the emergency equipment is checked. See ANSI Z358.1, Maintenance and Training section. Cycle redundant thermostat valve by, limit stop (see page 2) and setting the primary thermostatic mixing valve to full hot. (EXL-350 only) Open eye/face wash and check to be sure outlet temperature does not climb above 90°F (32°C). Turn primary thermostatic valve to full cold and wait sixty seconds. Turn primary thermostatic valve to full hot and wait sixty seconds. Check to be sure outlet temperature does not climb above 90°F (32°C). Turn primary thermostatic mixing valve to full cold and wait sixty seconds. Set primary thermostatic mixing valve to the desired temperature, adjust limit stop (see page 2) and close eye/face wash.
