Almost all if not all shower valves have a hot temp limiter.

And the installation instructions are usually in several languages.

but if not read....................

Mine doesn’t.

LOL! Apparently you didn’t read your link. That doesn’t limit the temperature, it only limits movement of the handle.

Yeah:

"In the event that you are struck in the face by a blast of 150 °F water, scroll down the menu until you come to 'Reset' Then select one of the 16 options listed there." (If you are resetting the Showermatic 3000, you should instead proceed to the sub-menu 'Severe burning.')"

Now imagine that when translated from Japanese into English by a Frenchman.

Technical Editor and Translator here: I've written thousands of "Operating Instructions," "Installation Instructions," and the like - in multiple languages.

I take great care to be as clear and yet concise as possible.

But I also encounter, on a day-by-day basis, technical literature written by others. Much of it is laughably inaccurate, vague, and ambiguous.

My greatest bugbear: "Actual device may differ in appearance!" Meaning: The reset button (of an electronic device) could, in actual fact, be located on the right-hand side of the device, instead of on the left - or it might be entirely missing!

In comparison to the junk literature I frequently encounter, the typical contribution posted here by your average FReeper reads like the Gettysburg Address!
