Thermostatic Mixing Valves are used to protect people especially customers, the elderly, people with a disabilities and young children, from the scalding effects of water that is too hot. They also reduce the risk of disease spreading in your water supply as hot and cold is mixed at the right temperature just prior to coming out of the tap.

An extremely important function of a TMV is if the supply of cold or hot water is lost, the water flow will shut down immediately, preventing scalding, burning and dangerous reactions from moving too quickly away from a too hot or too cold water stream resulting in injury.

In many industries including aged care facilities, installation and yearly certification of thermostatic valves is a compliance and legal requirement. The TMV Testing Requirements according to the Australian Standard (AS4032.3) states that a TMV shall be inspected and maintained at least every 12 months and the replacement of thermostat and o-rings every 5 years. NSW Health Act 2010 requires hospitals to test TMV’s every 6 months to ensure scald prevention.

The Braukmann MX Series High Capacity Mixing Valve provides accurate control of hot water temperatures based on the mixing of hot and cold water. The valve features a Teflon® coating that increases its product life and reduces the need for callbacks. It also has a tamper-evident temperature adjustment and a recirculation port that supports fast responses.

Due to the potential for serious burns at 60°C, there is a compliance requirement to ensure a safer temperature at the tap. AS3498 is the standard used for TMV installation and testing and it requires the delivery of hot water for personal hygiene to be delivered from the tap at a maximum of 50°C to prevent burns. For early childhood centres, schools, aged care, corporate facilities or other specific businesses with customers at risk like hairdressers or beauty salons the maximum temperature at the tap must be 45°C.
