Tempering Valves
Tempering valves blend hot and cold water to deliver mixed water at a constant temperature. They incorporate a temperature sensitive element which expands and contracts depending on the temperature of the water flowing across it. This action of the element in turn moves a piston which shuttles between the hot and cold ports. In doing so the valve maintains an essentially constant outlet temperature, and thus reduces the risk of scalding accidents. Reliance is a world expert in this field.RMC has developed a comprehensive range of tempering valves to suit all types of water heater installations.
Note: The HeatGuard Ultra has superceded both the HeatGuard HP and HeatGuard Solar HP. For more information visit the HeatGuard Ultra page on this website.
