Riobel Pressure Balanced Thermostatic Controls
Pressure Balance Thermostatic Controls combine all the advantages of a pressure balanced and a thermostatic valve: a logical, innovative solution for all shower systems.
Thermostatic Valve
Measures water temperature at the valve exit through the temperature detector. The temperature detector activates the mechanism to readjust water temperature but the thermostatic valve reacts slowly to pressure variations.
Pressure Balance Valve
When a variation in cold water pressure occurs; the balancing spool reduces the volume of hot water and increases the volume of cold water to maintain a constant temperature but the pressure balance valve provides a limited flow rate.
Pressure Balance Thermostatic Valve
Provides the solution. It balances pressure and controls the water temperature.
