Anti Scald Tub Shower Faucet Installation San Jose

This Fixture Installation Has Many Rewards!

Before you install an anti-scald device in your bathroom, here are some important points to note about different types of anti-scald devices, their benefits, and why they should be professionally installed by a San Jose plumber:

Types of Anti-scald Valves
Three main types of anti-scald devices are installed by professional plumbers today:

• thermostatic valves
• pressure balance valves
• point-of-use valves

Thermostatic valves are usually installed on the main line that comes from the water heater. These valves mix a stream of cold water into the heated water to maintain a safe temperature.

Pressure balance valves prevent the sudden reduction in cold water pressure that occurs when other users flush the toilet. It prevents this reduction in pressure from causing a sudden rise in the water temperature, which could lead to scalding.

Point-of-use valves are frequently installed in more expensive homes. They are programmable and they allow you to set the precise temperature you want on the shower or bath tub faucet. They usually incorporate both pressure and temperature controls.

4 Benefits of Anti-scald Fixture Installation

1. 1. Safety and Comfort: An anti-scald valve will prevent all family members, especially children and seniors, from having painful scald injuries in the shower or bath tub. The stable water temperature also increases the comfort of the person taking a bath.

1. 2. Long-term Savings & Peace of Mind: The cost of installing a thermostatic anti-scald valve is a small fraction of the cost of the medical expenses that will be incurred if a scald accident occurs. Scald injuries could also lead to loss of productive hours at work or at school.

1. 3. Adds Value to Your Home: A safer home attracts more value. So more value will be placed on your home when any transaction involving rent, sale or insurance is carried out on the home because of the presence of the anti-scald device.

1. 4. Increases the Volume of Hot Water: Apparently, the amount of hot available for bathing will be greater because anti-scald devices help to regulate and conserve heat.
