Hot running water only takes a second or two for sensitive skin to be burned. A TMV is a simple valve solution that ensures hot water is always mixed with cold before reaching the outlet. This is essential to protect vulnerable people, such as in hospitals, aged care centres or childcare centres.

A TMV requires a major service every 5 years, but the valve will only ever need replacing if it fails a test after the service is carried out.

Our strong knowledge of TMVs and backflow means we can provide cost-effective solutions. Where some plumbers may just replace a system, we often find it can be fixed through a simple service or tweak instead.

A thermostatic mixing valve can be adjusted by adjusting the mixing screw on the valve. However, this MUST be carried out by a licenced and accredited plumber with a calibrated thermometer.

A TMV blends hot and cold water before reaching the outlet, ensuring safe kitchen, laundry, shower and bath temperatures and preventing scalding.
