A valve that accepts two input streams and attempts to balance out differing input pressures to two roughly equal outputs - typically used for hot/cold balancing.
Will work well on mains pressure installs - typically combi with high pressure drop thru hot supply and not so much thru the cold - for shower or mixer taps.
Don't expect it to work miracles on mains/gravity installs by itself, you will need to combine with a PRV for a shower or possibly choose a dual stream mixer tap
If your inbalance is high expect low flowrates.
If you can measure your pressures at expected flowrates drop manufacturer a line for advice - I always find RWC helpful!
