TempTAP™
Thermostatic Faucet Series
Why Temper at the Sink?
Burns to the hand are common
 Although the hand comprises a small
surface area, a hand burn can be
devastating because of its functional
importance for everyday life.
Why Temper at the Sink?
Lavatory tempering is growing
faster than any other tempering
category:
 Risks are no different than showers
 Codes are requiring it (IPC/UPC)
 Thermostatic safety standards are
proliferating (ASSE)
Safety
Must provide scald protection for those
who are most vulnerable.
 Elderly
 Children
Why so Special?
Ordinary on the outside but extraordinary inside
 Clark Kent veneer,
Superman guts
 Not just a faucet, but
an ASSE 1070 listed
tempering valve!
Innovative
Tempering above the sink, not below
 Thermostat is in the faucet,
not in a separate valve
 Tempering is done at
the point of delivery
 Everything is accessible from above
counter
Simplifies Installation
Traditional Approach
 Tempering below sink
 Extra labor to install
 Must service below the
sink (access)
