Thermostatic Faucet Series
Why Temper at the Sink?
Burns to the hand are common
Although the hand comprises a small
surface area, a hand burn can be
devastating because of its functional
importance for everyday life.
Why Temper at the Sink?
Lavatory tempering is growing
faster than any other tempering
category:
Risks are no different than showers
Codes are requiring it (IPC/UPC)
Thermostatic safety standards are
proliferating (ASSE)
Safety
Must provide scald protection for those
who are most vulnerable.
Elderly
Children
Why so Special?
Ordinary on the outside but extraordinary inside

Thermostat is in the faucet,
not in a separate valve
