Thermostatic Mixer Valves

What are Thermostatic Mixer Valves?

Thermostatic mixer valves, often referred to as TMVs, play a crucial role in ensuring scald protection. These valves achieve this by facilitating the controlled blending of hot and cold water, negating the necessity to operate the hot water system at a lower temperature.

Who Should Utilise TMVs?

Thermostatic Mixer Valves (TMVs) hold significant importance in terms of scald protection for a broad range of individuals. However, their significance is especially pronounced for specific vulnerable groups, with vital applications in the following:

TMVs and the Implications for Legionella Control

While these valves undoubtedly offer water at a more secure temperature, their usage can inadvertently elevate the susceptibility to Legionella concerns. The amalgamated water situated downstream of a TMV fosters an environment conducive to the potential proliferation of Legionella bacteria. This intricacy necessitates vigilant management and mitigation strategies.
