Key Features
ASSE 1070 Anti-Scald
Certified point-of-use protection, limiting delivered temperature at the fixture to guard against scalding.
Thermostatic Element Control
A wax-actuated element responds to outlet temperature changes and repositions the shuttle continuously, holding setpoint without power or controls.
Low-Lead Brass Construction
Wetted surfaces carry a weighted average lead content below 0.25%, meeting Section 1417 of the Safe Drinking Water Act.
Fast Mechanical Connection
PEX Expansion tailpieces cut installation time and remove open flame from the job site.
