Option: Acorn Type 8 T/P Balancing Commercial Shower Valve
The Acorn Type 8 T/P balancing commercial shower valve automatically mixes hot and cold water to deliver blended water within a specified range. An advanced thermal actuator allows the valve to quickly compensate for temperature fluctuations caused by water temperature and pressure changes.
In the event of cold water failure, the thermostatic motor virtually shuts off the flow of hot water.
The Acorn Type 8 commercial shower valve meets the most stringent performance criteria for temperature and pressure changes, providing uncompromised bather safety and comfort for any tub/shower application.
Key Benefits
- Temperature/Pressure balancing shower valve
- Ligature resistance adds another layer of bather safety
Although designed and built for the challenges of commercial and industrial facilities, it is cost-competitive with high-end Pressure Balancing Valves. The valve combination T/P Valve allows even the most cost-sensitive properties to meet the budget without the scalding risk associated with Type P Valves.
USED IN COMMERCIAL, INSTITUTIONAL, AND INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
The trim of this valve features a patented ligature-resistant tri-lever design.
