BathSelect shower valves are precision-engineered using commercial-grade materials and manufacturing processes to ensure decades of reliable performance and precise temperature control.
All valve bodies are constructed from solid brass castings, providing superior strength, corrosion resistance, and longevity. No plastic components in water-carrying parts ensure decades of reliable service in commercial applications.
High-precision thermostatic cartridges maintain water temperature within ±1°F regardless of pressure fluctuations. Tested to exceed 500,000 cycles for commercial applications. Wax-filled or shape-memory alloy elements ensure rapid response.
Pressure balance and diverter valves feature high-precision ceramic disc cartridges ensuring smooth operation, drip-free performance, and resistance to hard water deposits. Tested to exceed 1 million cycles.
All thermostatic valves meet ASSE 1016 standards for anti-scald protection, essential for healthcare, senior living, and family applications. Automatic shut-off in case of cold water failure prevents scalding.

Full engineering documentation, Revit/BIM files, and installation guides available. Our team provides specification assistance for projects of any scale.
What is the difference between thermostatic and pressure balance valves?
Thermostatic valves maintain a precise set temperature (within ±1°F) regardless of pressure fluctuations in both hot and cold water lines, with built-in anti-scald protection. Pressure balance valves maintain temperature by balancing hot and cold water pressure, ideal for standard residential applications. Thermostatic valves are recommended for healthcare, senior living, and multi-user facilities.
Are BathSelect shower valves commercial grade?
Yes. BathSelect shower valves are engineered for commercial applications including hotels, hospitals, and multi-family housing. All valves feature solid brass construction, ceramic cartridges tested to 500,000+ cycles, and meet ASME A112.18.1 and ASSE 1016 standards.
Do thermostatic valves prevent scalding?
Yes. All thermostatic valves meet ASSE 1016 standards for anti-scald protection. They maintain water temperature within ±1°F and automatically shut off in case of cold water failure, preventing scalding. Essential for healthcare, senior living, and family applications.
What is the warranty on commercial shower valves?
BathSelect offers a 5-year limited commercial warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship for commercial installations. Residential installations receive a lifetime limited warranty. The warranty covers cartridge, valve body, trim, and finish.
BathSelect shower valves support flow rates up to 8 GPM at 45 PSI, accommodating multiple shower outlets simultaneously. All valves are compatible with flow restrictors for WaterSense compliance where required.
Are BathSelect valves ADA compliant?
Yes. BathSelect valves with lever handles are ADA compliant when installed according to specifications. Thermostatic valves provide safe, consistent temperatures for accessible design applications.
Can I use a thermostatic valve with multiple shower outlets?
Absolutely. Thermostatic valves are ideal for multi-outlet shower systems with rainfall heads, hand showers, and body sprays. Combined with diverter valves, you can control multiple outlets while maintaining consistent temperature.
Are rough-in valves included?
Most BathSelect shower valves are available as rough-in valve bodies that are installed during construction, with trim kits added after wall finishing. This allows for flexible design and easy cartridge replacement.
