Acorn ST70CP-38-BCT Tempering Valve
This brass tempering valve blends hot and cold water to a safe outlet temperature between 85 and 115 degrees Fahrenheit. It is designed for lavatory installations where scald protection is required. The unit meets ASSE 1070 and CSA B 125.3 standards for point-of-use mixing valves.
Brass body with compression connections
The valve body is constructed from brass for corrosion resistance and durability in plumbing systems. Both inlet and outlet ports use 3/8 inch compression fittings, allowing direct connection to copper tubing without soldering. The compact 3 1/4 inch height and width fit within tight cabinet spaces.
Replaces non-thermostatic fittings
This valve upgrades basic supply stops by adding automatic temperature regulation at the fixture. The upgrade is worth it when codes require ASSE 1070 compliance or when inlet temperatures vary between 35 to 80 degrees cold and 120 to 180 degrees hot. It does not suit applications needing higher flow than 4 gpm or pressures above 125 psi.

Questions about this item
What temperature range does the ASSE 1070 tempering valve deliver?
The valve blends hot and cold water to a range of 85 to 115 degrees Fahrenheit for lavatory use.
What pipe size and connection type does the 3/8-inch inlet require?
It uses a 3/8-inch compression fitting on both inlet and outlet for direct copper tube connection.
How is the valve oriented during installation, and what step is often missed?
Mount it with the body upright; the step often missed is verifying hot supply is 120 to 180 degrees Fahrenheit and cold supply is 35 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit before final adjustment.
