THERMOSTAT CHECK

1. Immerse the thermostat in water, and heat the water while

stirring. Check the thermostat valve opening temperature.

Standard value: Valve opening temperature: 76.5

±

1.5

° C (170 ± 3° F)

2. Check that the amount of valve lift is at the standard value

when the water is at the full-opening temperature.
NOTE: Measure the valve height when the thermostat is
fully closed, and use this measurement to compare the
valve height when the thermostat is fully open.

Standard value:

Full-opening temperature:90

° C (194° F)

Amount of valve lift: 8.5 mm (0.33 inch) or more
