Abstract
Provided are anti-scald assemblies for a faucet housing having a polymeric manifold housing with an anti-scald cavity housing an anti-scald device, a mixing cavity housing a mixing valve, and an actuator cavity housing an actuating member. A longitudinal axis of the anti-scald cavity is at an angle between 0 and 90 degrees relative to a longitudinal axis of the actuator cavity. The anti-scald device comprises a thermal actuator coupled to a plunger, and the thermal actuator and the plunger are held in an open position within the anti-scald cavity with a bias spring. When the temperature of the mixed water reaches a pre-set temperature in the sensing region of the anti-scald cavity, the thermal actuator is configured to expand such that the thermal actuator moves the plunger of the anti-scald device along the longitudinal axis of the anti-scald cavity to a closed position to close off the hot water inlet.
