Anti Scald or Thermostatic Tub and Shower Mixing Valve
Is a valve that blends hot water (stored at temperatures high enough to kill bacteria) with cold water to ensure constant, safe outlet temperatures preventing scalding.
The use of an Anti scald rather than a static mixing valve in San Jose Homes provides increased safety against scalding, and increased user comfort because the hot-water temperature remains constant. Anti Scald Faucets also shut-off rapidly in the event of a hot or cold supply failure to prevent scalding or thermal shock.
