Home – Bath & Shower

Archive for the ‘Valves’ Category

Typically, shower valves are sold in either a one-handle or two-handle design. Among the two, the one-handle shower valve is perhaps the most popular. This is mainly because of the fact that the one-handle design offers users with quick temperature and volume adjustments by just using one valve. Meanwhile, the two handle shower valve is also becoming increasingly popular these days. They are the usual choice of homeowners who are into a more traditional look.

Technically, valves are available in three types – the regular, thermostatic, and pressure balancing. Regular valves are the cheapest among the three. They are not capable of regulating water temperature and even the water pressure. If you use this kind of valve, chances are, when someone flushes the toilet, a burst of hot water will come out of the shower heads (which can be very dangerous as this can scald your skin). This stated scenario simply implies that you do not have any control over the flow of hot and cold water within your piping connections. So, don’t be surprised if a cold burst of water suddenly comes out of the shower as you take a bath, because probably someone is using hot water somewhere in the house.

To prevent such situation, the use of pressure balancing valves is recommended. This efficient shower control automatically adjusts the changes within the temperature and pressure of water so you won’t accidentally scald yourself. They are a more reliable option as compared to the regular valve. Meanwhile, the thermostatic valve is perfect for those who want full control over the temperature and pressure of their shower. These valves are capable of effectively measuring and regulating water temperature. Once you have set the valve according to your desired temperature, you are assured that it will maintain the same temperature unless you configure its settings again. Unlike the two previous models, thermostatic valves feature two controls.

Apart from that, shower valves can also be customized to include additional features such as body sprays and handheld showers. They can be sold individually or as a part of the shower system. Be sure to ask the salesperson on the available options so you’d know if you can save more if you purchase a shower system that is already equip with a valve or it will be more practical to buy it separately.
