Deck Mounted Thermostatic Control Valve
Before the use of tempered water in a bathtub, outlet temperature is adjusted by a thermostat in the mixing
chamber of the valve. The thermostat automatically positions a seat assembly which controls the flow of hot and
cold water supplied to the mixing chamber. If the mixed outlet temperature decreases, the cold water inlet port
gets blocked by the seat assembly. That is adjusted by the contraction of the thermostat. On the contrary, if the
mixed outlet temperature increases, the hot water inlet port gets blocked by the seat assembly. That is adjusted by
the expansion of the thermostat. In both cases, outlet water temperature is fixed at a set point.
