The invention relates to a single-lever, timed mixer tap comprising a push-button that makes it possible to control the passage of water between at least one water-supply inlet, in particular two inlets for hot water and cold water, respectively, and at least one outlet for the mixed water, a mixing block having a portion that is rotatably movable in relation to a stationary portion in order to vary the temperature of the mixed water, and a timer cartridge, characterised in that the mixing block and the timer cartridge are mounted separately from one another and the push-button is mounted translatably and rotatably movable, and in that at least one member for transmitting the movement of the push-button is provided, which is designed to transmit a translational movement to an actuator rod of the timer cartridge as well as a rotational movement to the movable portion of the mixing block.

An anti-scald device, fluid supply system including an anti-scald device and methods are provided. The anti-scald device can be configured to provide scald protection as well as configured to allow hot water disinfection.

Various embodiments of a reverse thermostat for use in restricting hot water in a plumbing system from being delivered to cold water fixtures are disclosed.

A faucet hose adapter includes an elongated tube having a first end opposite a second end defining a channel therebetween. The first end is dimensioned to secure over a faucet such that fluid dispensed from the faucet exits through the second end. An aperture is disposed through the elongated tube adjacent to the first end, wherein the aperture can receive a faucet valve handle therethrough.

A smart shower head to regulate temperature of water being supplied is disclosed. The smart shower head comprises a showering section (101) for showering water, a shower head arm connecting the showering section (101) and supplying water to the showering section (101), and at least one compartmentalized nero-thermal coil 103 running through the length of the shower head arm (102) and the showering section (101).

A water control valve may include a valve shell, a valve base, a shunt valve, and a temperature control unit. The valve shell has a control base, a driving valve piece, and a fixed valve piece, and a valve stem upwardly protrudes from a center of the control base out of the valve shell. The valve base comprises an upper base and a lower base, which are configured to fit together, and the upper base has an inner space to accommodate and install the temperature control unit therein. The temperature control unit has a cap, a supporting sleeve, a temperature sensor, a sealing sleeve, and a spring.

The faucet control device and method, and faucet are disclosed The faucet control device has a first and a second flow sensors measuring quantity of hot and cold water respectively, a first and a second temperature sensors measuring temperature of hot and cold water respectively, a heating tank heating hot water supplied from a hot water pile with a heater installed therein and storing heated water, a third temperature sensor measuring temperature of the heated water, a hot water direct supplying pipe outputting the hot water supplied from a hot water pipe, a electronic valve outputting mixed water by selectively mixing the heated water, the hot water and the cold water, and a controller controlling operation of the heater based on the temperature of the heated water and controlling opening amount of the electronic valve to make quantity and temperature of discharged water equal to target quantity and temperature.

A sanitary faucet having a faucet body; a mixing valve for mixing cold water and warm water to form a mixed water; and a thermostatic mixing valve for mixing cold and hot water to generate the warm water, containing an expansion material element and a gate valve operated by the expansion material element for adjusting a mixing ratio between the cold water and the hot water, wherein the expansion material element and the gate valve are arranged non-coaxially to each other, wherein the expansion material element can be used to operate the gate valve via a connection element, and wherein the connection element can be attached to the gate valve or the expansion material element and can subsequently be rotated into a closed position, in which the gate valve and the expansion material element are interconnected by the connection element. A method of installing a sanitary faucet is proposed.

A temperature limiting valve assembly and its associated limiting arrangement are provided. The temperature limiting valve assembly includes a valve body and the limiting arrangement installed on the valve body. The limiting arrangement includes a limiting member and clip removably installed on the limiting member. The clip defines a limiting position of the valve assembly. The limiting position denotes the maximum output flow temperature of the valve assembly. Removal of the clip also removes the aforementioned limiting position of the valve to allow a temperature output flow which is greater than the maximum output flow for purposes of sanitation.
