moving a shuttle valve between hot and cold.
The volume is controlled by twin ceramic disc
valve cartridges. Ceratherm includes Hot Limit
Safety Stop. Maximum temperature limit is 11F.
1/2" NPT inlets and outlets.
PRODUCT FEATURES:
Brass Casting: Highest quality faucet material for durability & long life.
Built-in Diverter: Allows user to choose between 2 or 3 separate
shower outlets.
Wax Thermostatic Unit: Permits shuttle valve to move between the hot
and cold seat to maintain the pre-selected constant water temperature.
Back to Back Capable: Hot and cold can be reversed.
Spring-Loaded Check Valves: When the hot and cold water enters
the tting, both supplies pass through the spring-loaded check valves
to prevent cross ow of hot and cold water.
Integrated Stop Valves: Ensure easy cleaning and servicing.
Adjustable Hot Limit Safety Stop: Limits the amount of hot water
allowed to mix with cold. Reduces the risk of accidental scalding.
Maximum water temperature limit may be reduced to 104 or 109
degrees Fahrenheit.
