FAQs
What does TMV2 approved mean?
TMV2 approval signifies that the thermostatic mixing valve has been independently tested and certified to meet stringent safety standards for controlling water temperature and preventing scalding.
Can I use this valve in a domestic home?
While primarily designed for commercial and semi-domestic settings, it can be used in a domestic home if TMV2 compliance and robust, vandal-resistant features are desired.
How do I adjust the maximum temperature?
The maximum temperature is factory set as per TMV2 standards. Adjustments should only be made by a qualified professional to ensure safety and compliance.
What is the purpose of the included flow regulators?
The 6 l/min and 9 l/min flow regulators are optional devices that attach to the shower head outlet. They limit the maximum water flow, promoting water conservation and helping to achieve environmental targets.
Is this a standard shower valve?
No, this is a specialized thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) with features geared towards commercial and public use, including enhanced safety and durability.
What maintenance is required for the vandal-resistant shower head?
Regular cleaning with a soft cloth is recommended. Ensure the spray nozzles are free from blockages by gently cleaning them periodically.
Troubleshooting
Water temperature is inconsistent.
Ensure hot and cold water supplies are adequate and balanced. Check that the TMV2 thermostatic element is functioning correctly and has not been fouled by debris. Professional servicing may be required.
Low water flow from shower head.
Check the installed flow regulator and clean any debris from the shower head holes. Ensure water supply pressures are sufficient. If a 6 l/min regulator is installed, this is the maximum flow.
Valve leaks from handles or body.
Check that all connections are tight. For leaks around the handle, the spindle seals may need replacing. For leaks from the valve body, professional inspection and potential replacement of internal components or the entire valve may be necessary.
Handle is stiff or difficult to turn.
The internal components may be affected by limescale or debris. Flush the valve with fresh water. If the problem persists, internal servicing or replacement might be needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This valve is designed for exposed installation. Ensure that hot and cold water supplies are correctly connected to the respective inlets. The adjustable inlet fixing centres (typically 150mm on centre) allow for flexibility when replacing older valves. Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct plumbing and TMV2 compliance.
Compatibility: The valve is compatible with standard UK plumbing systems. It is designed for use with both high and low-pressure systems, though performance may vary. The included flow regulators (6 l/min and 9 l/min) can be fitted to the shower head outlet to manage water flow.
Care: Clean the valve and shower head regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the finish. Periodically check the shower head for any blockages and clean as necessary. Ensure that the valve is flushed through with fresh water after installation to remove any debris from the system.
