Thermostatic mixing valves

The thermostatic mixing valves basically protect you from the danger of getting scalded by hot water. As per the Australian standards, tank storage hot water systems store the water at a minimum temperature of 60-degree Celsius. This is because most bacteria cannot survive in such hot temperatures. However, such hot water can potentially cause injuries due to burns or due to quick reactions caused by a person trying to get away from the heat. This is why the regulations also state that the temperature of the water coming out of a tap must be 50-degree Celsius at most. In establishments like schools, childhood centre, hospitals, hairdressing centres, etc. it is mandatory to maintain a water temperature of maximum 45-degree Celsius. A TMV accurately measures the hot water temperature and mixes it with the cold water.
