Brasstech 1-594 Balanced Pressure Shower Trim Valve

Product Description

The BRASSTECH 1-594 is a balanced pressure shower trim valve designed to maintain a consistent water temperature during use by compensating for fluctuations in hot or cold supply line pressure. Built from solid brass construction, this valve trim guards against sudden scalding or cold-water shocks when pressure changes occur elsewhere in the plumbing system. It ships without a finish applied, making it suited for installations where a specific coating or finish will be specified separately. Licensed plumbers and plumbing contractors are the typical installers for this type of pressure-balancing trim valve in residential shower and bath applications.

This trim valve is intended for residential shower and bath installations where pressure-balancing protection is required. The no-finish configuration allows it to fit within a broader range of design schemes, including traditional, transitional, and contemporary styles. It is part of the Newport Brass product family and is compatible with coordinating trim sets and collections offered across the Newport Brass line. Installers can pair this rough-in valve trim with matching Newport Brass finish trim to complete the aesthetic of the installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply to the affected lines and relieve system pressure before beginning any trim or valve work. Do not overtighten brass fittings, as this can damage valve seats or threads. Verify rough-in depth and valve body compatibility before finalizing trim installation.
