A thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) is a device designed to regulate the water temperature by blending hot and cold water to deliver a controlled and safely mixed water outlet temperature.
Its primary function is to prevent scalding, which occurs when the water is too hot and can cause burns or injuries, especially for vulnerable individuals like children, elderly, or people with reduced sensitivity to heat.
It is mandatory for TMVs to be installed in facilities such as hospitals, aged care and assisted living facilities, childcare centres, schools and kindergartens.
It is also mandatory for valves to be tested and serviced annually. Contact Tomlinson Plumbing on 5261 2422 – we’re licensed in this specialised field.
