HotStop Anti-Scald Shower Head Receives Popular Mechanics Editor's Choice Award

The Editor's Choice award highlights products with outstanding achievement in new product design and innovation. Recipients of this award are selected and judged by Popular Mechanics editorial staff.

Editor-In-Chief James B. Meigs presented the award to Fred and Marcy Guterman of American Valve during a private ceremony at theLas Vegas Convention Center on May 6th. "We are honored to receive this coveted award from Popular Mechanics," said Marcy Guterman, Marketing Director for American Valve. "We hope that this national recognition brings attention to the serious risks of scalds in the shower and bath. Thousands of children and adults are severely injured by hot tap water every year and HotStop prevents these accidents."

Popular Mechanics Senior Editor Ray Berendsohn writes, "A temperature-sensing valve shuts off water flow in this anti-scald shower head. You don't have to be a plumber to install this product. Simply unthread an existing shower head and thread on this one in its place. The HotStop cuts off the flow of water at 117 degrees F and above to prevent burning-hot accidents before that morning cup of Joe."
