2011年2月22日 · The principle that many pressure balance systems work on is to hold back some of the pressure and use that pressure to move the balance. In some parts of the world, water is a precious commodity and wasting it could probably get you 40 lashes or worse.

2010年1月8日 · Pressure and volume are two different things. A pressure-balance valve doesn't care about the volume, it only cares about the supply pressure. When there is flow, if the pressure isn't even between the SUPPLIES, the balance spool will start to close off the higher pressure side to try to balance the relative flow rates.

2011年5月1日 · Installing a Kohler Rite-Temp pressure balance bath & shower valve, K-304 Rough in instructions from Kohler with some added tips. Most plumbers will remove the cartridge, and solder pipe to the valve body first, and then reassemble the valve. The valve comes with the option to thread on a...

2014年5月30日 · The handle on your valve has to turn the water flow on and off or you will have to install flow control valve. But if the bottom is marked "TUB" then it would almost have to control the flow by definition, in which case either plug it or connect it to the shower riser.

2015年9月2日 · A pressure balance shower valve is designed to prevent flow when only one side has pressure, so with just the hot on it should NOT output much of anything (it might dribble a little bit). So, that portion is working correctly. Essentially, the thing wants pressure from both the hot and cold sides to work.

2013年2月25日 · I replaced a Peerless pressure balance shower valve body (female with threaded/pipe dope connections) with a a different Peerless pressure balance valve body (male with solder connections). Now when I open and shut the shower valve or either of the master bath sinks (both hot and cold, all upstairs), I hear water hammer.

2018年9月23日 · I recently installed a pressure balance valve with a single handle in my new shower to replace an old dual handle system. The dual handle system had incredible pressure on both the hot and cold. When the single handle is at the midpoint the pressure is great. I assume this is because it is mixing the maximum amount of hot can cold water 50/50.

2009年9月13日 · The old moen valve (non-pressure balanced) trim with the 2 screws located blow handle with not fit a Moentrol valve body. Moen just came out a conversion kit to adapt new trim styles on the older non-pressure valve bodies. Here are a couple pictures: The old valve w/ screwdiver stops: Blockage maybe in the stop bodies

2014年10月27日 · 1 Check Stops Spring-driven gaskets at the valve inlets prevent high-pressure hot water from crossing the valve into a cold supply line or vice versa. (Hot water is at higher pressure in recirculation systems.) Screws in the stops shut off hot and cold lines at the shower for work on the valve cartridge.

2019年10月28日 · Local plumber installed iBox Universal Plus rough in for a shower head only set up in shower. Purchased a Hansgrohe trim kit with Pressure Balance valve 30724741 (they call it a function block) that I installed. Hansgrohe provides a flush insert. Followed instructions, installed flush insert, opened cold stop and ran it 5 minutes and closed it.
