Is this considered a anti-scald mixing valve? Thanks.

this is not a valve. it is the body that the valve fits into. the valve is a cartridge that fits into this. you can get many different types of valves.

Yes, This valve is anti scold/pressure balance. We could ship this today if you order it soon. Thank you Lesley

This is only the housing not the valve, but you can purchase one for it at Home depot a anti scalding valve.

It limits the temperature of the water. I know when the water is to hot. I don't need the government telling me how hot the water can be

This is just the rough in. The valve itself comes with the trim and you can set how much hot comes out when it is fully on and hot.

It has an anti scald device. Most new one's do. I had it removed when it was installed.

Yes, this may be used to disinfect other tools. Note that this does item does not replaced the use of an autoclave.

No, it is a standard bottom. I have never had a scorching issue, it is a well-built pot.

Probably...its a lead substitute, but only a lot of time will tell if valves are better protected. As good as any. Better then nothing.

No, it is not. This is just a basic on/off valve on both the hot and cold side like all valves used to be. I am not sure it would meet code on a new installation. It was perfect for us, however, in that it was a direct replacement so we did not have to alter a bunch of existing plumbing.

Theoretically. But I'd have a professional check out the valve and replace if necessary. High pressure can be dangerous.

No, it does not have scald guard. I think you need an on off switch that allows a trickle rather than an off position. I thought it had it when I bought it, but it doesn't. I don't really know what pressure balance is, but the pressure seems pretty good, but I think it is determined just by what our house system offers.

This pump is designed to circulate hot water through your plumbing. Blend your water at the spigot between hot and cold valves to achieve desired temperature of water at the tap. Or if you saying your hot water side it too hot and may result in someone being scalded all hot water tanks have temperature controls. I keep mine set at 120 which I think I read takes 5 minutes to scald a person. That is probably lower than a lot of people set their hot water tank temp but is plenty hot and safe at the same time.

the red float I think you are talking about is the indicator that the unit is pressurized. When it drops, which it will on keep warm mode, that means that the unit is no longer pressurized and *could* be opened but does not have to be. The black valve does not roate automatically, but that is to reduce pressure manually and if you go to keep warm, the pressure is dropping naturally, so neither you nor the machiene needs to turn the black valve. The keep warm mode is GREAT. I cooked some chicken breasts after dinner, planning on making chicken salad after kids in bed and forgot about them. Came down at breakfast and thought I had just spoiled the chicken sitting out all night, but lo and behold, it was hot, tender, perfectly moist.

I would not be concerned using it. It conducts heat and will not freeze if mixed correctly. This is what I use in my heating system and have not had any problems or concerns. It is used in boilers to distribute heat.

This is a flame protector for pans with thin bottoms..to save from scortching. In my opinion..a double boiler is still the best way for cream soups or reheating mac and cheese. For instance this is good for rice or oatmeal.

I'm sure it depends on the BTUs as well as the viscosity of the contents, but I've never had an issue with scorching (in a homebrewing application). However, I think the gauge of metal is uniform over the entire surface of the pot.

I have not installed mine yet but If your water was hotter with the old valve there is likely an adjustment to the mixing valve that will allow more hot water through. I only know this because I watched my plumber friend adjust the mixing valve while holding a thermometer under the water stream. There is a temp you should not exceed to avoid accidental scalding. ie children playing with the faucet. I recommend checking instruction regarding adjustment of the mixing valve.

there is no mixing chamber/valve, there is a braided hose and is of the newer, fancier style that is becoming typical for high end faucets. So in a word you will only need your hot and cold water supply and a faucet wrench to install this device. (However i will note that you will also need a helping hand to line up the handles and a f&King; hammer to get the braided flex hose compression fittings to clip into the faucet.) (also if your countertop is close or at 1

Yes it does. What you will need is the correct mixing valve. FYI it looks beautiful up!

There is an adjustable plastic ring inside the faucet assembly that you can turn to let more hot water in than cold water. If you have "scald protection", this adjustment overrides that setting. It should be explained in the instruction sheet. But be careful. Too much and someone could get burned from TOO much hot water.

I do not know 100% . My guess is no, there is not part between the value and the shower head to block the water flow. My version of anti-scald is to lower the temperature on the hot water heater.
