Abstract
An anti-scald device can include a housing having a cylindrical interior space including a first cavity, a second cavity, a mixing chamber, a hot water inlet, and a cold water inlet, a plunger provided within the cylindrical interior space and including a cylindrical protrusion portion that separates the first cavity from the second cavity, a spring in the first cavity, and a wax element in the second cavity. The anti-scald device is in an inactive configuration when the temperature of the mixed water is below a threshold temperature, and when the mixed water reaches or exceeds a threshold temperature and comes in contact with the wax element, the wax element is configured to expand to reduce or restrict hot water flow such that the anti-scald is in a partially active or a fully active configuration.
