Dangers often arise from the home itself. Have you ever suddenly wanted to take a shower and the temperature of the water in the shower makes your skin blister? Even though you have set the temperature to a normal temperature that suits the weather conditions that day. If you don’t have an anti scald valve at home, the water temperature fluctuations that can cause discomfort or be dangerous will be difficult to find a solution for.
When you install the HVAC system and water management at home, you must understand the actual temperature characteristics of the water coming out of the equipment.

Problems with Plumbing
When blisters occur on your skin due to water droplets from the tap or shower that are beyond your control, then you will usually find that there is a problem with the plumbing in your house. The long pipeline may defects or may not have been insulated from the start of installation. With an anti scald valve, you will quickly overcome it.
Using an Anti-Scald Valve
You may find a slight temperature difference between the actual temperature of the water coming out of the shower and the target you set on this anti scald valve. As a user, you can set the temperature that best suits the conditions in the area where you are active using a valve with a rotating mechanism.
The water temperature becomes hotter or colder according to the direction of rotation. A plumber who is qualified to install this rescue valve can help you apply it safely and correctly.
Mixing Valves as an Anti Scald Valve
Maybe not many people know that anti scald valve is a tempering valve or multi-purpose mixing valve. The name may be different but the function remains the same in mixing cold water with the hot water that comes out.
The hot water coming out of the fixture is not hot enough to scald a person’s skin. In the way it works, hot water lines also require a cold water supply. Likewise, cold water supply lines require swing valves to prevent hot water from entering the cold water system.
Technicians usually install them on water heaters to protect the pipes of the entire building. However, there are also valves that they install only on certain equipment. The valve will react to changes in the cold water supply. Just like when someone turns on the cold water tap while someone else is taking a shower.
Anti scald valve works like a thermostatic mixing valve which contains a thermostat element. When the water temperature changes, the element will expand and contract. If the water temperature increases to a certain limit, the element will expand until it completely blocks the hot water inlet.
Therefore, the amount of hot water that must be in the mixing chamber is limited. You don’t need to recalibrate when you want to use it because you are worried about changes in the temperature of the water heater. Anti scald devices on the market can provide double protection for your home and its occupants.
Legom’s Anti Scald Valve
The 910028NT Scald Protection Valve from Legom is made of brass and operates by closing the valve when the water temperature rises to a protection temperature (43.3°C). The valve reopens when the temperature falls below the protection threshold (35°C), ensuring no water flows through the valve when temperatures are unsafe. The valve works within a temperature range of -30°C to 80°C, with a maximum pressure of 1 MPa and a maximum flow of 20 L/min (300 KPa). Control accuracy is within ±1°C, and it features thread specifications of 3/8 NPT and 3/4 NPT.
