Gold Coast Thermostatic Mixing Valves

Thermostatic Mixing Valves (TMV's) are now compulsory in many Northern NSW, Gold Coast and Brisbane facilities, including; aged-care facilities, child-care facilities, shopping centres, hospitals, schools, hotels, and any other establishment aware of the Occupational, Health and Safety requirements of their clientele.

Thermostatic Mixing Valves offer a far superior level of temperate accuracy, ensuring a lower level of accidental scalding and cold shock incidents.

For all situations in which it is essential to provide a warm water blend; such as baths and showers, kitchen sinks and bathroom basins, having a reliable TMV installed by a licensed and insured professional Gold Coast Plumber is now legislation.

Hot water needs to be stored at high temperatures to reduce the possible cultivation of bacteria like Legionella. A Thermostatic Mixing Valve (TMV) is the mechanical element that blends the hot water with the cold water to a pre-determined safe temperature.

It also provides consistent temperature delivery when several services are catered for by the same supply. For example; if you are having a shower and the temperature rapidly increases because the cold water tap is turned on in the kitchen.

For sensitive skin, (especially in children and the elderly), scalding is a real possibility that can be easily removed with the installation of a TMV. Just one second of exposure to 'hot water only' temperatures can cause 3rd degree scalding.

If there is any disruption of either the hot or cold water supply, the Thermostatic Mixing Valve rapidly stops all water delivery to the service, as no water is far safer than continued delivery of either temperature extreme.

Governments and Local Gold Coast Council understand the safety implications for publicly accessible washing facilities, and have introduced regulations to maintain safe conditions.

If you are responsible for maintaining facilities, it is essential to collaborate with a qualified and insured Gold Coast plumbing professional for the installation and maintenance of all your Thermostatic Mixing Valve requirements.
