Thermostatic Mixing Valve (TMV) to prevent scalding

Please Note: For England and Wales, from 1 April 2010, revisions to Part G of the Building Regulations (Hot water supply and systems) include the requirement that baths, subject to building regulations, are fitted with a protective device (i.e. a thermostatic mixing valve) to limit the temperature of hot water. Similar regulations have been in force in Scotland since 2006.

Thermostatic Mixing Valves (also known as TMVs) are an essential component in the flight against scalding from hot water. Placed in line with the hot water supply, the valve monitors temperature of the throughput ensuring water cannot pass above the set temperature. This is done by blending cold water into the hot should the set temperature be exceeded. Furthermore, if hot or cold supplies fail certain valves will shut down entirely as a safety measure.
