2.2 Definitions
In addition to the definitions in ASME A112.18.1/CSA 8125.1 and in the ASSE Plumbing Dictionary, the following definitions shall apply in this Standard:
Automatic compensating valve – a water-mixing valve that is supplied with hot and cold water and that provides a means of automatically maintaining the water temperature selected for an outlet. Note: Automatic campensoting valves are used to reduce the risk of scalding and thermal shock
Combination pressure-balancing and thermostatic compensating valve (Type T/P) — a compensating valve that senses inlet supply hot and cold water pressures before mixing, senses the water temperature at the outlet, and compensates for pressure and thermal variations to maintain the water temperature at the outlet.
Pressure-balancing compensating valve (Type P) — a compensating valve that senses inlet supply hot and cold water pressures and compensates for variations in the inlet supply pressures to maintain the water temperature at the outlet.
Thermostatic compensating valve (Type T) — a compensating valve that senses the water temperature at the outlet and compensates for thermal variations to maintain the water temperature at the outlet.
Initial outlet set temperature — the average of the values of the mixed temperature measured at the outlet for the 10 s immediately preceding the temperature change measured at the outlet resulting from a pressure or temperature change.
Point-of-use — the final outlet of the water supply system just prior to discharge to atmosphere.
Temperature limit setting — an adjustable means to limit the maximum setting of the device towards the hot position limiting the maximum discharge temperature.
Thermal shock — a rapid change in the outlet water temperature that is felt by the user and is sufficient to produce a potentially hazardous reaction.
User — an individual who can adlust the outlet water temperature at the point of use while he or she is in contact with the outlet water.
