CERTIFICATIONS

The ScaldShield™ TAFR is certified to UPC, IAPMO, CSA and ASSE 1062

Meets American Society of Sanitary Engineering (ASSE) Standard 1062 -1997:

  • Performance Requirements for Temperature Actuated Flow Reduction (TAFR)
    Valves for Individual Fixture Fittings

This standard applies to Temperature Actuated, Flow Reduction (TAFR) Valves for Individual Fixtures Fittings, which react to high temperature water.

These valves reduce flow to 0.95 L/min. (0.25 GPM) or less automatically in response to outlet temperatures greater than a preset actuation temperature not to exceed 49°C (120°F) so as to limit exposure to high temperature water discharge from an individual fixture fitting.

TAFR valves covered by this standard are intended for use in-line with or are integrated into individual plumbing fixture fittings such as showerheads, bath, and utility faucets; and sink and lavatory faucets.

TAFR with disabilities shall also comply with ANSI/CABO Standard A117.1.

Devices covered by this standard shall be mechanically or electrically operated, shall be installed in-line with or integrated into fixture fittings; and after actuation, shall reset open automatically or use a manual reset mechanism.
