The three-way mixing and distribution valve is intended for central heating, cooling or hot water installations. They are commonly used as mixing valves to regulate the supply water temperature in installations. The required supply temperature is obtained by mixing the medium from the boiler feeding the installation with the return medium. The valves can also be used as diverting or switching valves. Mixing valves are ideal for systems that require an accurate central heating supply temperature or boiler return protection, and in many other cases. MIX3 valves can be controlled manually or automatically using a mixing valve actuator. It is recommended to install the IBO STER D actuator.
