Situation:
I’m completely renovating a bathroom in my house for use by a disabled individual. I’ve completed about half the work and came across an issue that I can’t find an answer for. Code requires, in this situation, that water temperature in this bathroom cannot exceed 110°F. My plan to control that was to install THIS thermostatic mixing valve, (already purchased). The old tub surround, 3 handle valve, has been removed and is being replaced with a walk-in shower, single handle valve, (not yet purchased).
Questions:
1. Will any modern single handle valves work behind the Honeywell valve without affecting the temperature at the shower?
2. Would it be better to control only the faucets with the Honeywell and keep the shower valve independent of the Honeywell valve?
3. Can I control the temperature to 110°F with the new single handle shower valves?
Thanks in advance for any advice given
