Step 1: Choose Shower Controls | Thermostatic or Pressure Balance

Pressure Balance Shower System:

Pressure Balancing valves balance incoming hot and cold water pressure to compensate for fluctuations in water flow. If the cold water pressure decreases, the valve senses this and reduces the hot water pressure. (It will protect the user from drastic temperature changes should a toilet be flushed while showering.) Pressure Balance will operate one function (tub or shower). Choose a tub spout with a diverter to have a tub & shower set.

Controls 1 function - shower or tub filler
- Forged brass body construction
- 1/2" NPT female connections (2 inlets & 2 outlets)
- Pressure balance anti-scald protection
- Single-handle temperature mixing and flow with adjustable high-temp limit stop
- Flow rate @60 psi 4.2 gpm (15.9 L/m) - shower port
- 5.0 gpm (18.9 L/m) - tub port
- Handles to match any of the California Faucets series

Pressure Balance Control can be combined with a diverter tub spout for a Tub & Shower control

Thermostatic Shower System:

Thermostatic valves allow users to select a favorite temperature and keep it there regardless of changes in the temperature of the hot or cold water supply. It has a sensor that reacts to changes in temperature caused by either pressure or inlet temperature changes.  It allows for a higher water flow for multiple outlets: shower heads, body sprays, hand showers etc., as well as the ability to have multiple functions on at the same time.
California Faucets offers 2 Sizes of Thermostatic Controls
StyleTherm delivers superior technology, high flow rate, independent volume control, and ultimate safety. Each thermostatic control is offered with handles to match any of the California Faucets faucet series.

• 3/4" StyleTherm
Thermostatic Control with Individual Volume Controls

A Volume Control (Stop Valve) is added for each function. The picture illustrates a shower set up with 3 functions: Shower Head, Body Sprays & Hand Shower (not pictured). The larger round plate is the thermostatic control. It sets the temperature. The 3 handles above it turn the water on for each function. The more you turn the handle the more water pressure. We have shown a modern shower system above, but each California Faucet Series has a thermostatic control to give you a style that fits your bathroom.
