Technology
Reliance use wax thermostat technology as the Engine for temperature management,
automatically managing the mixing of hot and cold water, to the user pre-selected
outlet temperature. It proportions the amount of hot and cold water entering,
dynamically compensating for any variations in supply pressures or temperatures,
to maintain a stable mixed temperature.
In sanitary hot water uses, when cold water supply fails, the thermostatic
mixing mechanism will automatically "shut down" the flow so
as to prevent dangerously hot water being discharged.
Product Description
The DC150™ is a uniquely styled, anti-scald, thermostatic shower
with separate flow and thermostatic control knobs. The high performance
anti-scald thermostatic cartridge provides extremely stable mixed water
temperature. The flow can be regulated using 1¼4 and 1¼2
turn ceramic disc technology.
Applications
The DC150™ thermostatic shower valve is a high performance shower.
Suitable for sports halls, care homes, hospitals, or typical domestic
properties. The high flow rate, superb temperature control, and instant
failsafe in case of hot or cold water failure, means that this shower
can be used safely in any environment.
Features and Benefits
- Optimised wax thermostat technology for superior control and longevity
in service.
-
Very stable mixed water temperature, even under unusual hot and cold supply conditions, reducing the risk of scalding or thermal shock.
-
Single piece cartridges for both flow and temperature allow easy maintenance and replacement.
-
Push fit inlet fittings reduce installation time and effort.
