Does this shower head have a safety valve to cut off the water if the temperature gets too hot? If so, at what temperature?

No, but your shower's faucet handle should have a scald proof mechanism already in it. If not, you can replace the faucet handle with one that does.

It has a last used temp feature. It's actually very simple. The valve handle rotates front to back to go from cold to hot. It pulls to the right to turn it on and control flow volume. If you don't move the lever in the front to back plane when you turn it off the next time you turn it on it will be at the same setting. Of course if you don't turn it back on for an extended period of time the water will not be at the desired last temperature until the hot water reaches the faucet from the water heater .

The top knob controls 2 functions (shower head & handheld) The bottom knob controls the temp and volume of the water. It is pressure balanced to prevent shower shock and hold the temp.

No, not really, it only has one inlet so if you intend to use hot water it will need to be "mixed" upstream of the shower, and you won't have any control of the outlet temp.

No shut off ,its only an extension that will hook up to the end of what's already attached to your shower head...This is not a faucet its a shower head extension that can be adjusted to different angles.

Yes, it has nothing to do with that. the valve u mean is for mixing hot and cold water to get a Acceptable water temp for your shower pleasure but this only the decorative outside the temp valve u need to mix water not included or is the bath tub spout Wichita u didn't want the spout anyway. Hope that helps.

The water is heated in the unit, the hand control lets you set the temp to your desired temperature. NO need for a hot water line. We have this unit on 3 of our bathrooms. really love it. Just one thing to know if you ever have a power outage you need to reset the button on the side of the seat. We live in an area with frequent outages first time we thought it caused damage. Just a push on the power seat button and we were functioning again.

No, it's only one valve that controls between hot and cold water. There IS a Delta fixture similar to this one that DOES divert water between the shower head on the wall to the shower head on the ceiling.

Yes. I have it set at 112 degrees, and there is plenty of hot water. Depending on your shower head flow, you might have to increase your setting to a higher temperature. it s max is 140 degrees.

I have used this faucet with very hot water. Even with extended use the head does not get too hot to use. I love this faucet and am very glad I got it.

Yes, it does. If you are nearby, you can hear it click off when it reaches the correct temperature. The water stays hot at least five minutes, in case you are busy with something else.

The flow rate is controlled by the head/nozzle. All the way out is "high", and not so far is slower. So, you have some control, but it's not precise. Note: this gets the water warm enough for a shower, but not "super hot" for sanitizing. (Of course out in the desert it may get hotter.)

No. It won't actually stop the flow. There is an adjustment to set how far the handle turns and you can set it where it won't get any hotter than you like. Your hot water heater should be adjusted properly to control the water from being to hot. I don't believe they make a fixture that actually stops the flow of water.

I would think not as the temp sensor in the unit only senses the water coming into it, as in it has brought hot water from the heater to that location, then when you turn on the shower that should keep the hot water coming to that location. The pump does not bring more hot water after it has reached temperature, the water use should keep the water hot. If you shut the water use off, such as shutting off the water in the shower, then you can, after a period of the water cooling off, restart the unit to bring hot water back down the line. I am not sure I was clear on answering your question, maybe someone else can be clearer.

There is no pressure controller / valve. This is one thing I mentioned in my review, that I also wish it had. It simply runs at full blast once you turn the faucet on. One small thing you can do tho, is buy a water restrictor or cut a rubber washer to fit the hot and cold lines. That will reduce the flow of hot and cold and thus reduce the pressure. If you use the handheld shower mostly, you can buy a shower head water restrictor (they are literally only $1.00... go to True Value... Home Depot and Lowes don't sell oddly enough!), and they restrict shower flow to 2.5 gallons per minute which is green and eco-conscious! But the restrictor will literally restrict / lessen the flow and the pressure.... ;-)

If you already have a shower pipe sticking out from the wall you should not need anything else. I would say try it with and without the flow restrictor in place to see what works best before permanently mounting. You would use the existing hot/cold valve(s) to control temperature. This unit just allows you to chose between the fixed or hand-held shower head or a combination of both.
