FAQs

What is the maximum temperature this valve can output?

The valve has an adjustable temperature range of 38°C to 46°C. It is factory pre-set to a maximum of 38°C for immediate safe operation.

Can this valve be used for multiple outlets like a whole shower system?

No, this valve is specifically designed for single outlet use, such as a single tap or shower head.

What does TMV3 certification mean?

TMV3 certification indicates that the valve meets the highest standards for thermostatic mixing performance and safety, suitable for healthcare and other critical environments.

How often should the inlet filters be cleaned?

It is recommended to check and clean the inlet filters periodically, especially in areas with hard water or potential for debris. A regular maintenance schedule, perhaps every 6-12 months, is advisable, or more frequently if performance degrades.

What happens if the hot water supply fails?

In the event of a hot or cold water supply failure, the valve is designed to automatically shut off, preventing scalding or the delivery of dangerously cold water.

Do I need special tools to install this valve?

Standard plumbing tools are generally sufficient for installation. However, ensuring a proper seal on the flat-faced connections is important, and specific torque settings may be recommended by the manufacturer for optimal performance.

Troubleshooting

Water temperature is too hot or too cold

Check the temperature adjustment dial and ensure it is set correctly within the 38-46°C range. Verify that the hot and cold water supplies are adequately heated and cooled, respectively. Ensure the filters are clean and not restricting flow.

No water or very low flow from the outlet

Confirm that the hot and cold water supplies are turned on. Check and clean the inlet filters for blockages. Ensure no kinks or restrictions exist in the outlet pipework.

Automatic shut-off is not functioning

Test the shut-off by temporarily turning off either the hot or cold water supply. If it fails to operate, the internal mechanism may be obstructed or faulty; professional inspection is recommended.

Leaking from connections

Ensure all connections are securely tightened. Check the seals and O-rings on the flat-faced inlet connections for damage or debris. Re-seat and tighten connections if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures safe blended water temperatures, significantly reducing scalding risks.
  • Automatic shut-off provides an essential layer of safety in case of supply failure.
  • Robust certification (WRAS, TMV2, TMV3) meets requirements for sensitive environments.
  • Durable construction suitable for high-traffic commercial or industrial settings.
  • Serviceable components like filters allow for easier maintenance and extended lifespan.

Cons

  • Requires professional installation to ensure correct setup and certification compliance.
  • Primarily designed for single-outlet applications; not suitable for whole-house systems.
  • Temperature adjustment range (38-46°C) may be limited for specific niche applications.
  • Maintenance of filters is necessary for optimal performance and longevity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure the water supply (both hot and cold) is turned off before installation.
  2. Connect the flat-faced inlet connections to the appropriate hot and cold water supply lines. Note the correct port for hot and cold inlet.
  3. Connect the blended hot water outlet to the single desired fixture (tap, shower, etc.).
  4. Verify that the integrated check valves are correctly seated.
  5. Open the water supply slowly and check for leaks.
  6. Adjust the temperature setting (38-46°C range) as required, following the manufacturer's instructions. The factory pre-set is 38°C maximum.

Compatibility:

  • Designed for 15mm pipework.
  • Suitable for use with single outlets.
  • Recommended for use with timed flow controls, non-thermostatic showers, electronic controls, and non-thermostatic taps.
  • Requires stable hot and cold water supplies.

Care:

  • Regularly check and clean the serviceable inlet filters. This typically involves shutting off the water supply, unscrewing the filter housing, cleaning the filter, and reassembling.
  • Periodically test the output temperature to ensure it remains within the desired safe range.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which could damage the valve components.
