Already recognized as the world leader in thermostat valve technology, GROHE reaffirms its commitment to family safety with its Grohsafe pressure balance shower valves.
	GROHE pressure balance shower valves protect against accidental scalding in the shower when demands on the water system (such as flushing a toilet, washing dishes or turning on a washing machine) cause sudden pressure fluctuations within the system. GROHE's diaphragm actuated pressure balance cartridge will maintain the set temperature within +2°F even with a 50% drop in either the cold or hot water pressure. If either the cold or hot water fails, GROHE Grohsafe valves will reduce the water flow from the outlet to a trickle, thus protecting against scald or cold water shock.
For total flexibility, the Grohsafe shower valve can be combined with a wide selection of trim sets to perfectly match respective GROHE faucet lines for a completely coordinated GROHE bath.

	Grohe History Grohe entered the North American market in 1975 with a faucet line that looked and functioned differently than most domestic faucets available at the time. Grohe's unique products initiated an industry movement that has since reshaped the design and quality of American kitchen and baths. Grohe today is recognized as one of the leading faucet brands used in custom homes.
Innovations such as pull-out spray kitchen faucets, solid stainless steel kitchen faucets, single hole centerset lavs that replaced traditional American 4" configurations, and thermostatic shower safety valves are just a handful of the European concepts brought to North America by Grohe. Engineered in Germany, Grohe products sold in North America comply with domestic codes and standards.

Solid cast brass fabrication... long lasting PVD finishes... engineering to incredibly close tolerances... life testing and 35 quality assurance checks... Grohe has set the standard to which all others are compared.
