B3186064 Emergency Mixing Valve Features
The Global Industrial B3186064 is a brass thermostatic emergency mixing valve that blends hot and cold water into tepid flushing water for eyewash stations, drench showers and combination units. ANSI Z358.1-2014 calls for tepid water at emergency fixtures; this valve delivers 65°F to 95°F at up to 28 gallons per minute in both normal and bypass modes.
If the hot supply fails, flow continues in bypass. If the cold supply is lost, the valve shuts off completely to prevent scalding. Rated to 125 psi with 1/2 inch x 14 NPT inlet and outlet connections.
