Discuss Difference between thermostatic and pressure compensating shower valve? in the Plumbing Jobs | The Job-board area at PlumbersForums.net
Thermostatic mixes hot and cold to maintain a steady temperature. Usually on balanced pressures; some will run with gravity hot, mains cold and MIs only recommend without stipulating balanced pressures.
Prsssure compensating shower: could this be referring to the venturi type that uses the cold's pressure to boost the hot pressure and is specifically designed for mains cold, gravity hot? Never seen one outside of a textbook and no idea where I would buy one from.
Only if the vaLove is suitable and can handle th imbalance of pressures.Thanks mate so am I OK to use a thermostatic shower valve on a combi boiler system?
Shouldn't be much of an imbalance with a combi...Only if the vaLove is suitable and can handle th imbalance of pressures.
Most new ones are suitable.
Hi Mira make a shower called a combi force 415 valve, this is a pressure balancing valve and not thermostatic, you can find it on there web siteI'm a level two trainee and wondered if there is any difference please? Not sure where I would source a pressure compensating shower valve from I. e. to install on a combi boiler system?
Grateful for any insight please or are these the same the same thing?
Cheers guys
