Delabie will showcase its new pressure-balancing mechanical mixer, the Securitherm EP Biosafe.
Its ‘unique design’, with no spout, smooth interior, and low water volume, ‘limit bacterial development considerably’, making it ‘ideal’ for healthcare use. The EP pressure-balancing cartridge delivers a constant mixed water temperature regardless of pressure variations. The mechanism also reduces the hot water flow significantly if the cold water supply fails. A pre-set maximum temperature limiter provides additional anti-scalding safety. The design restricts water volume in the body by almost 85%, minimising biofilm development, while its smooth interior reduces biofilm attachment. Moreover the mixer has no spout, incorporating Delabie’s Biosafe outlet directly into the mixer body.
The 26216EP mixer withstands thermal shocks at line temperature. Pressing the red button behind the control lever overrides the temperature limiter without removing the control lever or shutting off the cold water supply, while the flow rate limiters are set at 4 litres /min at 3 bar. Water consumption is reduced while guaranteeing user comfort, while the mixer’s simple form reduces build-up of dirt, and facilitates cleaning. Rotating copper tails simplify installation.
