GROHE Delivers Versatility and Durability with Latest Pressure Balance Valve

The New GrohSafe 3.0 Valve Design Saves Time with Easy Installation and Offers Freedom of Flexibility

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (August 18, 2020) – GROHE, the leading global brand for bath and kitchen water solutions introduces the GrohSafe 3.0 Pressure Balance Valve. Renowned for incorporating the exacting standards of German engineering, GROHE brings the GrohSafe design to life, delivering superior versatility and dependability for faster installations and reliable performance.  

Innovative features make the GrohSafe 3. 0 uniquely easy to install regardless of the situation. Its compact size and flat-back design ensure an easy fit and secure mounting even in tight spaces. Engineered to meet the need for efficiency, the GrohSafe 3.0 is available in multiple configurations to accommodate the requirements of every job and piping preference. In addition to the standard connection options (universal, crimp PEX and cold expansion PEX), GROHE is introducing three additional new connection options. Connections include:

• NEW PEX Elbow Connections for both crimp PEX and cold expansion PEX eliminate the need for special adaptors and have the unique feature that allows the valves to be easily rotated for supply lines from floor or ceiling 

• NEW Stub-Out Connections are specially designed to easily connect press-connect fittings directly to inlets and outlets of the value without any special adapters 

• CPVC Inlets eliminate the need for special CPVC adaptors and can connect directly to the valve

Made of DZR brass for exceptional corrosion resistance, GrohSafe 3.0 withstands harsh water conditions including high chloride, hard water or high pH levels for lasting durability. Each GrohSafe 3.0 valve also comes with a pre-installed flush plug that makes flushing and testing of the valve quick and easy. 

The GrohSafe 3.0 Pressure Balance Valve facilitates the smooth operation of the GROHE trim collection. These premium all-metal trims include a precision-crafted, double ceramic, one-piece cartridge that fits flawlessly on the GrohSafe 3.0 valve. The ceramic discs ensure a lifetime of leak-free performance, and the ceramic balancing spool reacts quickly to pressure changes to prevent accidental scalding. GROHE trims feature snap-fit mounting to ensure a secure, flush installation. Concealed mounting creates a clean, sophisticated look with no visible screws to obstruct the trim’s polished appearance. The metal wall plate and handle ensure long lasting durability, and matching trims fit more than ten design collections across a variety of finishes. 

The cartridge now ships with the trim, making it readily available for the trim installation step, when it is needed. This helps to keep all parts together and protects the cartridge from the damage of being installed prior to testing when debris in the line can damage the seals of the cartridge, causing leaks in the future. 

GrohSafe 3.0 delivers precise temperature control for an upgraded bath and shower experience. By combining thoughtful design and advanced engineering, the GROHE GrohSafe 3.0 Pressure Balance Valve increases efficiency during installation and ensures dependability for years to come. It positions the brand at the forefront of product development to meet the needs of a changing market.
