Leonard Valve

In 1911, while getting a hot-towel shave at the local barber shop, Frederick C. Leonard had his face scalded by the non-tempered water used on his towel. An Inventor, Leonard knew that there had to be a way to deliver safe, tempered hot water from a plumbed source. His painful experience inspired him to design the World’s First Thermostatic Mixing Valve. In the 110+ years since our Founder introduced the world to mechanically tempered hot water, we at Leonard Valve have built upon his legacy. Throughout our history, we have introduced innovative solutions that improve the safety and performance of domestic hot water systems. From thermostatic shower valves to digital mixing valves, our products are designed to keep up with modern-day needs, while providing “The Right Mix of Safety and Performance” every single time.
