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.

Prevent scalding by guaranteeing safe water temperature at your taps with a Pegler TMV

Every year people suffer severe burns from scalding hot water in the home. In many of the worst cases the victim (quite often young children) die from their injuries. Children don't recognise the dangers of hot water, elderly people quite often don't react quickly enough when they come in contact. Either way, a very real danger exists with excruciating results. The answer is simple and the cost minimal. By installing a TMV the possibility of dangerously hot water reaching a tap is ended.

If hot water passes through the valve at a temperature that exceeds the setting, cold water is blended in to reduce the outflow to the required temperature, hence preventing the dangers of scalding. For the sake of a few pounds it is madness not to install a TMV.

Thermostatic protection is vital on the water supply to Walk in baths. This type of bath can be lethal if necessary precautions to protect users from scalding water temperatures are not taken.

The 15mm model is typically ideal for use under wash basins and hand rinse basins. Protect the user from scalding water with a thermostatic mixing valve that blends cold water into the hot water supply should it arrive too hot.

How a TMV installs into the supply to a mixer tap.

The larger verion of the thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) for use on 22mm supplies would typically suit applications such as bath taps and mixers. Protecting the water supply from arriving too hot prevents accidental scalding and injury.
