INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Tempress Pressure Balancing Valve
Valve Body No. 1-595
as used with Tub and Shower Fittings
Description
This valve is precision engineered to provide satisfactory performance provided it is installed and operated in
accordance with our recommendations contained in these instructions. In order to fully enjoy the comfort,
safety and the reliability of this valve, be certain to familiarize yourself with these instructions.
Operation
The pressure balancing cartridge contained in this valve
compensates for pressure fluctuations in the water
supply system through a diaphragm-connected pressure
balancing mechanism. The outlet temperature will change
by no more than a mere ±2°F (1°C) with a 50% drop in
either the hot or cold water pressure. Even if the cold
water pressure fails completely, the anti-scald design will
reduce the flow rate to a safe level ensuring reliable
protection against scalding. The built-in check valves
prevent cross flow between the hot and cold supplies.
