Marketing InformationThis 1/2 inch chrome plated, exposed HydroGuard(R) valve automatically mixes hot and cold water to deliver blended water at any desired temperature within a specified range. The assembly contains an advanced thermal actuator which maintains the selected water temperature within rigid tolerances despite temperature and pressure fluctuations in the water supply. It features 1/2 inch NPT connections, a built in shutoff valve, a poppet type mixing valve, corrosion resistant parts and a concealed adjustment for raising and lowering the temperature range. It is used in a wide variety of applications because of its accuracy, reliability and economic use of water and energy. It is ideally used in showers, baths, hospital hydrotherapy and residential areas, where precise, consistent water temperature is required.
