ABSTRACT:
A valve and thermostat assembly is disclosed for improved convenience and efficiency in showers. It comprises a thermostat controlled hot/cold water mixing valve combined with a flow valve. It provides a full range of graduated control for both temperature and flow rate, and maintains a set temperature when the flow rate is changed. Temperature can be preset, and the hot/cold ratio is automatically controlled. This avoids iterative manual adjustment, saving time and water. Flow can be temporarily shut off during a shower for economy without causing a cooler temperature at restart. It is safe, practical to manufacture, and installs with normal plumbing skills. It is not electric.
