Do pressure balance valves go bad?
Like older standard shower valves, pressure-balance shower valves have inner cartridges that wear out and eventually go bad. When it does, the cartridge may not mix the water evenly and you might get mostly hot or mostly cold water. Or, you may also get barely any water at all.
How does a pressure balancing shower valve work?
A pressure balance valve works by maintaining an equal amount of water from the hot and cold side. Sudden changes in water pressure may reduce the water flowing from the showerhead, but the temperature will remain the same. Temperature: Provides scald protection and maintains temperature within 3 degrees (+/-).
What is the purpose of a balancing valve?
The role of balancing valves are to control the flow rates in each of the buildings branches to deliver the desired flows in low temperature, chilled, or hot water applications. At each heat exchanger the balancing valve is set to provide the desired flow rate to maintain comfort and energy.

What should the pressure be for a 17 GPM valve?
If the pressure available at the valve is 45 PSI, we can select a valve that will Flow 17 GPM @ 25 PSI. Our selection will be a 431.
How to calculate Delta P across a valve?
What is Pressure Drop? To determine Delta P across a valve, subtract the outlet pressure (P2) from the inlet pressure (P1). The equation is (P1) – (P2) = P
