The Honeywell MX128LF 1 1/4 in. NPT Lead-free mixing valve
Overview
The Honeywell MX128LF is a lead-free thermostatic mixing and diverting valve engineered for precise water temperature control in domestic, commercial, and industrial hot water systems. It ensures consistent mixed water temperature even under fluctuating flow and pressure conditions, while automatically reducing flow if the cold water supply is interrupted.
This 1-1/4″ NPT model from the Honeywell MX Series offers dependable performance, durable construction, and compliance with lead-free plumbing regulations.
