Safety in the Shower

Symmons sets the standard for safety in the shower

Temptrol CutawayEveryone has experienced the unpleasant change of shower water temperature when somebody flushes a toilet or runs water elsewhere in the plumbing system. Current state and federal requirements for flow restricted showerheads compound the problem. With lower flow rates, the potential for scalding and thermal shock is greatly increased.

Symmons' pressure-balancing, anti-scald valve technology revolutionized the industry in 1939 and is still the standard for safety in the shower today. Constructed from brass, bronze and stainless steel, the legendary Symmons Temprol® valve contains a piston that adjusts automatically to instantly and continually balance the hot and cold water pressure as demands are made elsewhere in the system.
