One of the essential accessories for emergency showers is without a doubt the thermostatic valve because it stabilizes the outlet water temperature between 15.5°C and 37.7˚C (60°F and 100˚F). Its safety features allow cold water to flow in the absence of a hot water supply and block the flow of hot water in the absence of a cold water supply.

One of the essential accessories for emergency showers is without a doubt the thermostatic valve because it stabilizes the outlet water temperature between 15.5°C and 37.7˚C (60°F and 100˚F). Its safety features allow cold water to flow in the absence of a hot water supply and block the flow of hot water in the absence of a cold water supply.
The thermostatic valve allows the emergency shower user to comfortably rinse the affected body part for the minimum prescribed time of 15 minutes. In Quebec, thermostatic valves are crucial because during the winter months, tap water becomes so cold that its continuous use for 15 minutes may cause hypothermia or worsen the state of a victim.
