Common Questions

Can I use this at a lavatory — is it ASSE 1070 listed?

Yes. This valve is listed to ASSE 1070, the standard for point-of-use scald protection, so it is legal to install it serving a lavatory, sink or similar fixture. Because it additionally carries ASSE 1017, the same valve may be used at the water heater as a point-of-distribution tempering valve. Its outlet adjusts from 80°F to 120°F. Note ASSE 1070 does not cover showers — an in-shower device must be ASSE 1016 listed.

What temperature range does it deliver?

The outlet temperature is field-adjustable from 80°F to 120°F. It holds that setting down to 0.5 gpm of flow.

Does it have integral checks?

Yes. Check valves are built into the hot and cold inlets to stop cross-flow between the supplies, along with integral filter washers/screens that keep debris off the thermostat. No separate check valves are needed at the valve.

Can I lock the temperature setting?

Yes. A locking mechanism secures the temperature setting once it is dialed in, so it cannot be moved without deliberately unlocking it.
