PRODUCT FEATURES:
Cast Brass Valve Body: Durable - Quality that will last a
lifetime. Ideal material for prolonged contact with water.
Ceramic Disc Valve Cartridge: Assures a lifetime of
drip-free performance. Allows easy fine tuning of temperature
(125˚handle rotation from off to hot).
Pressure Balancing Valve Cartridge: Maintains constant
output temperature in response to changes in hot and cold
supply pressure. Diaphragm system engineered to eliminate
cross flow. Avoids failure due to mineral deposits - ideal for use
in hard water.
Back-to-Back Capability: Hot and cold can be reversed
quickly and easily.
Adjustable Hot Limit Safety Stop: Limits the amount of
hot water allowed to mix with cold. Reduces the risk of
accidental scalding.
Exclusive Plaster Guard: Plaster guard is designed to
protect valve during installation and serve as a mounting
plate for thin-wall installations. 2 piece design allows valve to
be tested prior to trim installation.
Wide Rough-in Range: From 1-5/8" to 3-1/4".
