Product Identity
The Watts 1170-UT-M2 is a 3/4 inch thermostatic mixing valve constructed from brass. It regulates blended water temperature between 90 and 160 degrees Fahrenheit for residential or light commercial plumbing systems.
Ideal Use Cases
This valve suits installers needing a compact unit with integral filter washers, check valves and a locking mechanism for point-of-use temperature control. Builders requiring higher flow capacity or electronic mixing functions should look at alternative designs.
Installation Notes
The valve connects via 3/4 inch FNPT inlets and outlets and measures 5 7/16 inches high by 4 7/8 inches wide. Ensure hot supply stays within 120 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit and cold supply within 40 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit to avoid erratic thermostat response.

Questions about this item
What pipe fittings are needed to connect the 3/4" FNPT inlets and outlets to my plumbing?
You will need 3/4" male NPT adapters or nipples to thread into the valve's female NPT ports, plus pipe sealant or tape rated for potable water.
Will the valve still regulate temperature if my hot water supply drops below 120°F or my cold supply rises above 85°F?
The thermostat is calibrated for hot inlet temperatures of 120°F to 200°F and cold inlet temperatures of 40°F to 85°F; outside those ranges the valve may not maintain the set point.
How can I verify the valve is delivering water within the 90°F to 160°F range after installation?
Run water through the outlet and measure the temperature with a calibrated thermometer; it should read between 90°F and 160°F when the handle is set accordingly.
