Tempress Pressure Balancing Valve

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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 sup-

ply system through a diaphragm-connected pressure bal-

ancing 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 pro-

tection against scalding.The built-in check valves prevent

cross flow between the hot and cold supplies.
