Shower valve

The part that controls the water in a shower is the valve. As we mentioned in our article for Custom shower, using a single valve, one must handle thermostatic control valve temperature, and preferably 3 / 4 "thermostat valve when used in a custom shower.

Temperature control in a custom shower is much more than an achievement test, is a security consideration.

A valve pressure balance valve is not a high flow, and can not be expected to replace a thermostatic valve for temperature control, especially in a multiple shower outlet.

Kohler offers two innovative personalized control valve, HiFlow Rite-Temp valve pressure control of balance only, and HiFlow thermostatic valve with separate volume and temperature controls.

The Rite Temp valve keeps water temperature stable, automatically adjusting the mix of hot and cold water in response to changes in pressure of either hot water or cold. Let it completely if you stop the supply of cold water. It has a 3 / 4 "input and a single output port at the top of the valve.

This valve maintains the selected temperature thermostatic shower at all points of the shower (within 1 ° F), regardless of changes in the temperature of hot or cold water.

The temperature is selected to handle the temperature dial to a value within the comfort zone of 70 to 110 degrees. The handle design also includes a security check at 100 ° for added protection.

It automatically adjusts the mixture of hot and cold water in response to changes in pressure or temperature of hot and cold water.

It includes an automatic shut off when the continuous provision of cold water, and a safety stop at 104 ° F - all to help prevent burns. A manual safety stop override feature allows the maximum water temperature of 120 ° F. It requires a 3 / 4 "supply to produce optimal results.
