Help Prevent Scalding*
While your water heater is turned up to prevent
bacteria growth, you’ll still enjoy protection at
the tap because mixing valves can help prevent
burns due to scalding. Research has shown that
burns from hot water can occur in just seconds
— even less for small children. A mixing valve
reduces the temperature at the faucet, so your
family can use the sink, shower or tub with less
fear of scalding.
Burns can occur quickly, but Honeywell mixing valves
help prevent scalding. In fact, Honeywell mixing valves
meet the most stringent safety standards in the industry.

The mixing action of a Honeywell mixing valve
can produce up to 60-gallon performance from
a 40-gallon tank — it’s like adding a larger water
heater without the added expense or space.
Honeywell mixing valves are designed to prevent the
growth of bacteria by allowing you to set your water
heater at 140° F.

Help Prevent Bacteria Growth
Deadly Legionella bacteria can grow when a water
heater’s temperature is set to low, but studies show
water heated to 140° F can kill up to 90% of the
bacteria.

A Honeywell mixing valve allows you to
set your water heater at a higher temperature to
help kill bacteria while eliminating concerns about
water being too hot at the tap.
More Available Hot Water
Honeywell valves can extend the capacity of your
existing hot water tank. The mixing action gives
you up to 60-gallon capacity from a 40-gallon tank
by storing water at a higher temperature and then
mixing it down to a safe 120° F or lower — giving
you more hot water for your home. And when
it’s time to buy your next hot water tank, you can
save money by purchasing a smaller tank without
worrying about a cold shower.
