Thermostatic Temperature Valve

Each lube oil system should be equipped with a temperature control valve to regulate the oil temperature into the frame. The valve should be installed in the “mixing” mode.
A thermostatic valve with a cast iron housing is available as an option for all units. The standard temperature setting of the valve is 170 °F. Valves can be provided mounted or unmounted.
Information on particular thermostatic valves can be found within the Ariel website under Vendor Literature. Valve sizing for the various frames is:
  • 3/4" NPT Valve - JGM through JGR, JGJ/2-4, JGH/2, JGE/2, JGK/2, JGT/2
  • 1-1/2" NPT Valve - JGJ/6, JGH/4, JGE/4, JGK/4, JGT/4, JGC/2, JGD/2, JGF/2
  • 2"-125# Flanged Valve - JGE/6, JGK/6, JGT/6, JGC/4-6, JGD/4-6, JGF/4-6
