PRODUCT FEATURES:

Brass Casting: Highest quality faucet material for durability &

long life.

Wax Thermostatic Unit: Permits shuttle valve to move

between the hot and cold seat to maintain the pre-selected constant water temperature.

Back to Back Capable: Hot and cold can be reversed. Spring-Loaded Check Valves: When the hot and cold water

enters the fitting, both supplies pass through the spring-loaded check valves to prevent cross flow of hot and cold water.

Integrated Stop Valves: Ensure easy cleaning and servicing.

Adjustable Hot Limit Safety Stop: Limits the amount of hot

water allowed to mix with cold. Reduces the risk of accidental scalding. Maximum water temperature limit may be reduced to 104 or 109 degrees Fahrenheit.
