Applications:
The unit is intended for under sink installation to control the hot
water temperature and minimize the occurrence of accidental scalding. The water temperature must be adjusted by the installer using
a thermometer to measure the hot water temperature at the faucet
outlet. Maximum temperature of 105°F (41°C) is recommended.
