ABSTRACT:
An anti-scald valve including a housing including a fluid flow inlet end and a fluid flow outlet end. A first valve component and a second valve component positioned in the housing between the inlet end and the outlet end. At least one of the first valve component and the second valve component allow fluid flow therethrough, wherein the first valve component includes a first surface for sealably mating with a second surface of the second valve component for cutting off fluid flow at a fluid temperature falling within a predetermined fluid temperature range. At least one of the first valve component and the second valve component is substantially flexible at a component temperature below the predetermined fluid temperature range for allowing fluid flow thereover and wherein at least one of the first valve component and the second valve component includes stiffens when said component temperature falls within the predetermined fluid temperature range for moving the first surface and the second surface into a mating position, which substantially cuts off the fluid flow.
