How tall should a Symmons shower valve be?

How does a Symmons anti-scald shower valve work?

Antiscald shower valves prevent excessively hot water from burning the user. The Symmons line of antiscald valves is pressure-balanced to keep the hot-cold water mix at the same temperature level once the user has selected a comfortable temperature. An adjustment screw prevents the user from selecting a water temperature that would burn them.
