Forged brass mixing valve

The Taco 5003-C3-G is a forged brass mixing valve designed for plumbing systems that require precise temperature blending. It accepts hot and cold water through 3/4 inch union sweat inlets and delivers mixed water through a matching outlet.

Flow capacity and temperature range

The valve handles flow rates from 1 to 20 gpm and operates within a mixed outlet range of 85 to 176 degrees F. Cold inlet supply must stay between 39 and 80 degrees F while hot inlet supply must be between 120 and 180 degrees F. Maximum working pressure is 200 psi.

Replaces older non-certified valves

This unit carries ASSE 1017, cUPC and NSF 61 certifications and includes a temperature strip for verification. The upgrade is worth it when a project demands documented compliance with those standards and a pressure rating of 200 psi. Builders who need higher flow capacity or different inlet sizes should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Will the 3/4 in union sweat connections on this mixing valve mate with the copper piping already in my wall?

Yes. Both inlet and outlet are 3/4 in union sweat, so they solder directly to standard 3/4 in copper tube without adapters.

How can I verify the valve is regulating temperature correctly once installed?

Run water through the valve and check the included temperature strip; the mixed output should fall between 85 and 176 °F when hot supply is 120–180 °F and cold supply is 39–80 °F.

Does the box contain everything needed for installation, or must I buy fittings separately?

The valve body and a temperature strip are included; no tailpieces, solder, flux or tools are supplied, so purchase those separately if you do not already have them.
