Spirax Sarco MkII Steam/Water Mixing Station - Hot Water Blending Valve

Overview

The Spirax Sarco MkII steam/water mixing station is an engineered solution for generating hot water by blending steam with cold water. Designed for industrial applications requiring reliable, on-demand hot water at controlled temperatures between 40°C and 90°C, this mixing station offers a complete pre-assembled package for rapid deployment in manufacturing facilities.

The system operates using a piston-actuated mixing valve where cold water pressure lifts the piston to open the steam inlet. This fail-safe design ensures that if cold water supply is interrupted, the steam valve closes automatically, preventing hazardous steam discharge. The included TCO1 temperature cut-out valve provides additional protection by activating at 95°C to limit steam release during system faults.

Each mixing station is supplied as a complete assembly including isolation valves, pressure gauges with syphons and cocks, steam traps, check valves, strainers, thermometer, and the TCO1 temperature cut-out valve. The ½" and ¾" variants can be optionally equipped with hosedown accessories including high-quality hose, hose rack, and gun for washdown applications.

Key Features

  • Fail-safe piston-operated design closes steam valve automatically on loss of cold water supply
  • Complete pre-assembled station with all necessary isolation and safety components
  • TCO1 temperature cut-out valve activates at 95°C for over-temperature protection
  • Adjustable temperature output via adjustment knob (40°C to 90°C range)
  • Multiple spring ranges available to match different steam supply pressures
  • Bronze, brass, and stainless steel construction for durability and corrosion resistance
  • Optional hosedown equipment available for ½" and ¾" sizes
  • Suitable for fixed tank filling (1" and 1½" sizes) or mobile washdown duties
