This Rite-Temp pressure-balancing valve works behind the scenes to
prevent scalding and freezing for a safe, comfortable water supply. The
valve features a high-temperature limit stop and an optimal comfort
zone, so you can set a maximum high and then find and maintain your
desired water temperature. The diaphragm design virtually eliminates
freeze-ups from contamination and water debris. This valve integrates a
diverter mechanism for seamless actuation of a handshower/showerhead
application OR a showerhead/tub spout application. Finally, universal
NPT and direct sweat connections need no additional parts for
installation.
