Abstract
A fluid control thermostatic valve contains thermally responsive wax. As temperature rises, the wax expands thus pushing a deformable member up a confined path defined by guideuntil the member contacts a fixed post. An immobile retaineris secured to the fixed post. Force from the elastic member against the post causes actuatorto separate from retainer, thus opening a flow passage. The control valve is unique because retainerfunctions as both a valve seat for actuatorand a fixed support for spring
