Anti-Scald Assembly with Thermal Disinfection

A manifold assembly, comprising

• a manifold having a mixing chamber and an anti-scald cavity;
• an anti-scald assembly positioned in the anti-scald cavity;
• and
• an adjustment mechanism,
• wherein
• the manifold is configured to receive hot source water from a hot source water line and cold source water from a cold source water line, and to direct mixed hot/cold water to a faucet,
• the adjustment mechanism is configured to be placed in a closed position and in an open position relative to the anti-scald cavity,
• when in the adjustment mechanism closed position, the manifold assembly is in a normal operating position,
• when in the adjustment mechanism open position, the manifold assembly is in a disinfection position,
• in the adjustment mechanism closed position, the anti-scald assembly, when subjected to water above a pre-set temperature, is configured to restrict hot source water flow to the mixing chamber, and
• in the adjustment mechanism open position, the anti-scald assembly, when subjected to water above the pre-set temperature, is configured to not restrict hot source water flow to the mixing chamber.
