Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a thermostatic mixing valve and how does it work?
A: A thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) automatically blends hot and cold water to maintain a pre-set output temperature. This solid brass 3-way valve uses a built-in thermostatic element that expands and contracts in response to water temperature changes, continuously adjusting the mix to deliver consistent output — with no electricity required.
Q: What temperatures does this thermostatic mixing valve support?
A: This valve accepts a cold water supply of 5–29°C and a hot water supply of 50–95°C. The mixed output is maintained between 35–45°C with ±2°C accuracy. The default setting is 38°C, with an adjustable safety switch allowing a maximum output of 42°C.
Q: Is this valve easy to install?
A: Yes. This is a deck-mount thermostatic mixing valve with standard 15 mm (0.59 in) hot and cold water inlets. It requires no electrical wiring and can be installed in most standard kitchen or bathroom setups. Basic plumbing knowledge is recommended for installation.
Q: Is this valve suitable for both kitchen and bathroom use?
A: Absolutely. This general-purpose thermostatic mixing valve is designed for use in bathrooms, washrooms, kitchens, and laundry areas — anywhere consistent mixed-water temperature control is needed.
