Thermostatic Mixing Valve - Installation, Servicing & Repairs

What is a TMV?

TMV stands for thermostatic mixing valve, which is a fitting that controls the temperature of water from a tap or showerhead. TMVs are essential for preventing scalding and ensuring water safety in many settings, including: bathrooms and washrooms, hospitals, and schools.

 

TMVs work by blending hot and cold water to a safe temperature. They are installed in the pipework before an outlet, such as a tap or shower

 

 

How Often Do I Need My TMV's Servicing?

The frequency of TMV servicing depends on various factors, including the type of valve, manufacturer's guidelines, etc. The Legionella Risk Assessment should detail the servicing frequency of TMV servicing.

In general, it is recommended to have TMVs serviced at least once a year in order to ensure maximum efficiency from the valves.

However, specific requirements may vary, so it's best to consult your Legionella Risk Assessment, manufacturer's guidelines or local authorities.

What Are The Signs That I Need My TMV's Servicing?

Identifying when your TMV valve needs servicing is important for preventing any potential issues. The most common signs include; inconsistent water temperatures, water that is either too hot or too cold, and unusual noises coming from the valve.

If you notice any of these signs, it's essential to arrange a service to address the problem and maintain safe water temperature control.

Why Should I Get My TMV's Serviced?

TMV servicing is important because it ensures the safety of those

 who rely on consistent water temperatures. These valves play a pivotal role in blending hot and cold water to maintain a desired temperature, preventing scalding incidents and exposure to excessively hot water.
