The Heatguard® 110-D is intended for installation at the water heater to distribute controlled temperature water through the domestic hot water system or at point-of-use applications. The valve delivers water at a maximum of 120°F (49°C), allowing the heater to be set at 140°F (60°C) or higher, thus providing a greater effective volume of hot water and reducing the chances of Legionella bacteria growth in the water.

The Heatguard® 110-D incorporates a fast acting, high quality thermostatic element that senses the outlet water temperature and reacts to maintain a stable delivery temperature even under changing flows or variations in supply temperatures. The valve also greatly reduces the outlet flow in the event of a cold water supply failure.
