The HG145 is a point-of-use thermostatic mixing valve designed to assist in the prevention of scalding. Superior, fast acting thermostatic element provides stable operation at flow rates as low as 0.34gpm (1.3 l/min) or as high as 5.8gpm (22 l/min). The Heatguard® valve also reduces the outlet flow to a trickle in the event of cold water supply failure. Inlet connections are typical supply line 3/8 in compression for 3/8 in OD tube. Inlet strainer screens help prevent the valve from being clogged with dirt or debris. A mounting clamp allows the user to securely fasten to the wall. The valve is supplied standard with check valves at hot and cold water inlets. Compact design easily fits under or behind a single basin. Adj. outlet temperature range: 95-118 deg F (35-48 deg C).
