I'm not even sure I'm asking the right question. I was told at plumbing rough that I may need a anti scald or thermostatic mixing valve for my tub.
I was referred to Ohio plumbing code 424.3 and 424.5. I'm installing a floor mounted Pfister tub filler and the corresponding rough in valve.
Ohio Plumbing Code 424.3 (Individual Shower Valves) says:
"Individual shower and tub-shower combination valves shall be balanced-pressure, thermostatic or combination balanced-pressure/thermostatic valves that conform to the requirements of ASSE 1016 or ASME A112.18.1/CSA B125.1 and shall be installed at the point of use."
Under "Code compliance" the rough in valve documentation says it complies with both ASSE 1016 and ASME A112.18.1 and the faucet says it is "IAPMO Certified to ASME A112.18.1/CSA B125.1"
Ohio Plumbing Code 424.5 (Bathtub and Whirlpool Bathtub Valves) says:
"The hot water supplied to bathtubs and whirlpool bathtubs shall be limited to a maximum temperature of 120°F (49°C) by a water-temperature limiting device that conforms to ASSE 1070 or CSA B125.3, except where such protection is otherwise provided by a combination tub/shower valve in accordance with Section 424.3."
Under "Code compliance" the rough in valve says "CSA B125 Certified"
Based on this information, it seems to me like I should be OK with these components. Do I understand this correctly?
