Reduced risk of Hot Water/Cold Water cross flow BIOSAFE spout outlet
On the new generation of DELABIE's mechanical
mixers, the HW can only flow back into the CW
supply (or vice versa) if the pressure differential
between the inlets is greater than 1 bar.
Therefore, the risk of cross flow between the HW
and CW is very small, unlike other mixers. YEAR
As a result, the risk of bacterial proliferation is reduced.
Moreover, this solution removes the need for non-
return valves to be installed. WARRANTY
