Hi guys, I have 3/4" PEX and my Mixing Valve says ZURN WILKINS ZW1017XL, but can I install ZURN WILKINS 34-ZW1017XLC on my BOSCH Tank less Water Heater. And I am attaching Photos on my System & I am attaching Photos of a Mixing Valve which I am planing to buy, please have a look in Photos.
The reason I am changing Mixing valve, because it is build lot of Calcium inside it & it is Block
According to the spec sheet the valve is the same. The "C" is just for sweat connections but you already have the connections in place so it should be a straight swap. I did exactly the same thing with my water heater. Straight swap.

You could use any manufacturer's mixing valve, but if you only use the Bosch for hot water and not heating, I would remove the mixing valve completely. It's not required when the controller temperature can be locked at 120F.
And you should also look into performing maintenance on the water heater to prevent the same problems from happening to it.
Once I install this Mixing Valve.
--Is this Mixing Valve by default set to 50% Cold water & 50% Hot water or do I have to do some adjustment according to my requirement like I need 40% Cold water & 60% Hot water releasing from Mixing Valve to maintain all Sink & Bathtub having Hot water.
--I have to adjust to mix 60% Hot water & 40% cold water by removing green cap. So while adjusting water mixing, do I have to Turn Off Cold & Hot water Shut Off Valves OFF or I can leave it ON while adjusting Water Mixing adjustment doing on Mixing valve.
You open a hot tap and adjust the mixing valve until you are getting 120F water. I use a digital thermometer to measure the water temperature.
Hi there, My Tankless Water Heater set temperature is 120*F, so when I adjust Mixing Valve by opening Tap, can I just adjust Mixing Valve until I get hot water in Tap.
Because while adjusting Mixing Valve I rotate Knob ANTI-CLOCK wise all the circles rotates, now only one circle rotation is left towards Hot Knob, then I am getting Hot water in 3rd floor Tap in Town House, so is this ok only one Anti-Clock Rotation is left towards Hot Side Knob, there after it will not rotate the knob at all.
I mean if I rotate one more circle that is last circle, after this it will not Rotate that is last.
So is this normal the way Mixing Valve giving Hot water on last end, or i have to put Half Circles on Hot side & Half circles on Cold side, please make me correct....Thanks
there is no screw driver slot, so I use OPEN END WRENCH to rotate this NUT. And I am getting Hot water on 3rf floor Sink Tap.
So I want to know is this normal all the way I keep on rotate rotate circle by circle, and finally only one circle left. So is this Ok.
And in future can I increase Temp on my Tankless Water Heater later up to 124*F in future or not, because the NUT I rotate all circles, now only one circle felt that is last end, after this it will not rotate any more.
please make me correct is this ok all what i did.
Here is the Photo shows on Valve with ARROW DIRECTION clock wise spin is COLD & ANTI-CLOCK wise spin is HOT. And my Hot water Tank currently set to 120*F, and I am getting Hot water every where on this setting of this valve.
Only the thing I am worry, tomorrow or one day in future Hot water Tank start giving problem, in this case I must need to increase Temp on Hot Water Tank up to 140*F until get Hot water.
So on this valve setting which I did currently every thing working fine, when I have problem in future if I increase Temp up to 140*F (is this valve accept this Temp which I increase on Hot water Tank or it will failed on that day this Mixing Valve).
Please make me correct, because I have to spin clock wise now a days only, because one day it will get SCALED/CALCIUM build on it, and on that day it is not possible to change any valve setting at all. So let me know do I have to set the valve now it self on cold side HALF spin & Hot side HALF spin to balance both side.
If I leave in HALF & HALF both side then what cause this problem in future, because currently it is spin all the way towards ANTI-CLOCK wise HOT side.
Specially I am using this BOSCH Machine for Heating also. So I use for Hot Water & Heating in Home.
