A thermal valve for controlling a flow of fluid includes a housing having an inlet and an outlet configured to permit the flow of fluid through an interior of the housing, an actuator including heat-sensitive material configured to contract or expand based on a temperature of the fluid, a rod fixedly coupled to the housing and partially inside the actuator, the rod being configured to move relative to the actuator as the heat-sensitive material contracts or expands, a chamber inside the housing and fixedly coupled to the housing, the chamber being configured to accommodate the actuator, a first compressive resilient element configured to movably couple the actuator to the chamber, and a disc movably coupled to the chamber via a second compression element, and configured to permit flow of the fluid from the inlet to the outlet and to reduce flow of water from the outlet to the inlet.
