Recommended Outlet temperatures

The BuildCert TMV scheme recommends the following set maximum mixed water outlet 
temperature for use in all premises:

     The mixed water temperature must never exceed 43˚C.

    The maximum mixed water temperature can be 2˚C above the recommended maximum set 
    outlet temperature.

Note: 

43˚C is the maximum mixed water temperature from a shower mixer. The maximum 

temperature takes account of the allowable tolerances inherent in thermostatic shower

mixers and temperature losses.

It is not a safe bathing Temperature for adults or children

.

The British Burns Association recommends 37 to 37.5˚C as a comfortable bathing

temperature for children. In premises covered by the Care Standard Act 2000, the 

maximum mixed water outlet temperature is 43˚C.

Installation

Important

: -  The following instructions must be read prior to the installation of the 

    thermostatic shower valve. The installer of the thermostatic shower valve must comply with the 
    requirements of the Water supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 and also be aware of their
    responsibility and duty of care to ensure that all aspects of the installation comply with the 
    regulations.

    It has been brought to our attention that flushing water systems using certain chemicals may 
    wholly or partially remove the lubricant from the internal workings of the valve, which may 
    adversely affect its performance. We recommend that following flushing the system with 
    chemicals; valves are checked for correct operation. 

   1.  It is essential that before installing any thermostatic shower valve to ensure that the supply 
        conditions of the system to which the valve is intended to be fitted are checked to confirm 
        compliance with the parameters as quoted within the technical specification and conditions 
        on which the approval is granted i.e. verify supply temperatures, supply pressures, risk 
        assessment.

   2.  Consideration must be made for the possibility of multiple / simultaneous demands being 
        made on the supply system whilst the thermostatic shower valve is in use, all practical 
        precautions must be made to ensure that the valve is not affected. Failure to make provision 
        within the pipe sizing etc. will affect the performance of the shower valve.
