Pressure Balancing Valves
Help protect your family from accidental scalding
with a pressure balancing mixing valve for your shower or tub
We've all been in the shower and experienced the shock of suddenly freezing cold or burning hot water when someone else in our house or apartment building flushes the toilet or starts a load of dishes or laundry. A pressure-balancing valve can protect you and your loved ones from these pressure surges and the scalding they can sometimes cause. By automatically compensating for fluctuations in your hot/cold water delivery, these valves can help prevent burns from hot water and are perfect for families with young children or elderly family members whose skin is naturally more sensitive and easier to burn. With a variety of features to choose from, you're sure to find one that will fit your family's needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. "What is a pressure balancing valve?"
A. A pressure balancing faucet/valve adjusts to changing hot & cold water pressure - effectively maintaining a relatively consistent temperature and reducing the risk of accidental scalding from a sudden surge of water that is too hot.
Q. "Will these valves work with my existing fixtures?"
A.Although many of these valves are available with complete tub/shower systems, you do not have to purchase a new showerhead, hand shower, or tub spout to be able to use these valves. Note, however, that the Danze valves are designed to work with any of the shower trim kits they offer, so the trim kits are sold separately. All you have to do is choose your style and place the trim over your installed mixing valve.
