910024CC Solar Thermostatic Connection Kit
The Legom 910024CC Solar Thermostatic Connection Kit is a pre-assembled two-component valve assembly for solar water heating systems, combining a thermostatic reversing valve and a thermostatic mixing valve in a single integrated kit certified to EN1111 and EN1287. The reversing valve automatically switches the hot water supply source between the solar collector circuit and the boiler backup based on solar storage temperature, while the mixing valve blends the selected hot supply with cold water to deliver a controlled 45°C outlet temperature at ±2°C accuracy.
Built from brass with an ABS cover, the 910024CC is rated for a maximum static pressure of 10 Bar and accepts hot inlet temperatures up to 100°C, covering the full output range of both flat-plate and evacuated tube solar collectors. A minimum flow rate of 4 L/min is required for stable thermostatic operation. The kit is suited to residential and light commercial solar thermal systems in sanitary, heating, and solar water heating applications.
Key Benefits
- EN1111 and EN1287 certified – Dual certification to the primary European standards for thermostatic mixing valves confirms the mixing valve component meets established performance requirements for temperature control accuracy, fail-safe behavior, and construction quality. EN1111 covers mains-pressure sanitary applications up to 10 Bar; EN1287 specifically addresses low-pressure and storage heater applications including solar thermal systems
- Integrated reversing valve and mixing valve in one kit – The 910024CC combines solar source switching and hot water temperature blending in a single pre-assembled assembly, eliminating the need to separately specify, source, and connect a diverting valve and a mixing valve. This reduces the number of installation connections, simplifies commissioning, and removes the risk of compatibility errors between separately selected components
- Automatic solar-to-boiler switchover at 45°C – The thermostatic reversing valve switches the hot supply source from solar to boiler when solar storage temperature drops below 45°C, and returns to solar supply when temperature recovers above 45°C. This switchover is fully mechanical and automatic, requiring no electrical controller, motorized actuator, or manual adjustment
- Maximizes solar energy utilization at partial temperatures – Rather than bypassing solar below a fixed cutoff, the reversing valve routes solar-heated water to the mixing valve even at lower storage temperatures, blending it with cold water to reach the 45°C outlet set point. This extends effective solar utilization hours and reduces the frequency of boiler engagement
- 100°C maximum inlet temperature tolerance – The kit handles hot inlet temperatures up to 100°C, accommodating the peak and near-stagnation output of evacuated tube collectors without requiring a separate upstream temperature limiting device under normal operating conditions
- ±2°C control accuracy at 45°C outlet – The thermostatic mixing valve maintains the mixed outlet at 45°C within a ±2°C tolerance, providing a consistent and safe delivery temperature to sanitary fixtures and hot water distribution pipework regardless of fluctuations in solar storage or boiler supply temperature
- 10 Bar static pressure rating – The 10 Bar maximum static pressure rating covers both mains-pressure domestic installations and higher-pressure commercial solar thermal systems, providing installation flexibility across a wide range of building types and supply configurations
- Brass and ABS construction – The brass valve body provides durability and resistance to the elevated temperature and pressure conditions of solar thermal circuits. The ABS cover protects the adjustment mechanism and provides thermal separation from the hot valve body during manual setting

Application & Use Cases
- Residential solar water heating with boiler backup – The primary application for the 910024CC is a domestic solar thermal system paired with a gas or electric boiler. The reversing valve manages the handover between solar and boiler supply based on storage temperature, providing fully automated hot water management without a separate controller or motorized zone valve
- Evacuated tube and flat-plate solar collector systems – The 100°C maximum inlet temperature rating makes the 910024CC compatible with both flat-plate and evacuated tube collectors, including high-efficiency evacuated tube systems that produce high storage temperatures during peak solar irradiance
- Electric storage water heater with solar preheat – In systems where a solar preheat circuit feeds an electric storage tank, the 910024CC manages the transition between solar preheat and electric backup, maximizing use of solar-heated water and reducing the frequency of electric element activation
- Sanitary hot water distribution – The mixing valve delivers a controlled 45°C supply to domestic hot water distribution pipework, suitable for showers, baths, and handwashing facilities where a consistent and safe delivery temperature is required at the point of use
- Heating and cooling system connections – In low-temperature hydronic heating circuits fed from a solar thermal source, the 910024CC manages both supply source selection and outlet temperature limiting, delivering solar-heated water to underfloor heating or fan coil circuits at a controlled circuit temperature
- Commercial solar thermal installations – Hotels, sports facilities, and commercial buildings with solar thermal arrays and boiler backup where automated source prioritization and safe delivery temperature are required in a compact, pre-assembled valve assembly
Installation Notes
- The 910024CC is a two-component kit. Connect the thermostatic reversing valve between the solar storage tank outlet, the boiler outlet, and the cold water supply. The thermostatic mixing valve installs downstream and blends the selected hot supply with cold water to deliver the 45°C mixed outlet to distribution
- The reversing valve switches from solar to boiler supply when solar storage temperature drops below 45°C and returns to solar when temperature recovers above 45°C. This function is fully mechanical and requires no external controller, sensor, or electrical connection
- Maintain a minimum flow rate of 4 L/min through the mixing valve during operation. Below this threshold, the thermostatic element cannot accurately sense the mixed outlet temperature, causing temperature instability at the outlet
- Do not exceed 5 Bar differential pressure between hot and cold inlets. If supply pressure difference exceeds this limit, install a pressure-reducing valve on the higher-pressure supply upstream of the kit
- Do not expose the kit to inlet temperatures above 100°C. If the solar system is capable of producing stagnation temperatures above 100°C, install an overheat protection device upstream of the 910024CC to protect the thermostatic cartridge and body seals
- Connect all ports according to the flow direction markings on the valve body. Verify the solar inlet, boiler inlet, cold water inlet, and mixed outlet connections before tightening. Refer to the installation diagrams in the user manual for the correct piping configuration for both operating modes (solar above 45°C and solar below 45°C)
- After installation, commission by confirming automatic switchover behavior: with solar storage above 45°C, verify the solar circuit supplies the mixing valve; with solar storage below 45°C, verify the boiler circuit engages. Measure the mixed outlet temperature at the nearest fixture with a calibrated thermometer before putting the system into service
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the 910024CC different from a standard thermostatic mixing valve like the 910034NT?
A standard thermostatic mixing valve such as the 910034NT performs one function: it blends hot and cold water to deliver a controlled outlet temperature. It has no awareness of where the hot water comes from. The 910024CC adds a thermostatic reversing valve upstream of the mixing valve, which automatically selects between two hot water sources — solar and boiler — based on solar storage temperature. The result is a complete solar priority management system in a single kit, rather than a mixing-only device that requires separate source switching by other means.
How does the thermostatic reversing valve switch between solar and boiler supply?
The reversing valve contains a thermostatic element factory-set to 45°C. When the solar storage circuit delivers water above 45°C, the element holds the valve in the solar supply position. When solar temperature drops below 45°C, the element contracts and shifts the valve to the boiler supply position. The switchover is purely mechanical, with no electrical signal, solenoid, or external controller required.
What do EN1111 and EN1287 cover, and why are both relevant here?
EN1111 covers thermostatic mixing valves for sanitary use up to 1000 kPa (10 Bar), specifying requirements for temperature control accuracy, fail-safe shutoff, and endurance under mains-pressure conditions. EN1287 addresses mixing valves for lower-pressure systems up to 600 kPa (6 Bar), with additional requirements specific to storage water heaters and solar thermal applications. The 910024CC is certified to both, confirming it meets the requirements for mains-pressure sanitary installations (EN1111) and for solar thermal and storage heater applications where EN1287 compliance is the relevant benchmark.
Can the 910024CC handle evacuated tube solar collectors that reach very high temperatures?
Yes, up to 100°C. Evacuated tube systems can produce storage temperatures significantly higher than flat-plate collectors, particularly during high irradiance or low-draw periods. The 100°C maximum inlet rating ensures the kit handles these conditions without damage to the cartridge or seals under normal operation. If the system is capable of exceeding 100°C under stagnation — which some evacuated tube arrays can — an upstream overheat protection device should be installed to keep the inlet temperature within the kit’s rated range.
What happens if the flow rate drops below 4 L/min?
Below 4 L/min, the thermostatic element in the mixing valve does not receive sufficient water movement across its sensing surface to accurately measure the mixed outlet temperature. This results in temperature instability or oscillation at the outlet rather than a stable 45°C delivery. If the connected fixtures regularly draw below this threshold, contact the Legom team to discuss valve options better suited to low-flow applications.
