TMV3 Thermostatic
Mixing Valves
Predominantly used in the healthcare industry,
however, every employer has a duty under the Health
and Safety at Work Act 1974 to ensure that the
health and safety of patients, residents, visitors
and staff using a building are not at risk, and
this applies to all types of buildings, not just
healthcare premises.
Scalding – Cause for Concern
Scalding through accidents involving hot water
can lead to horrendous injuries. The most vulnerable
are often at risk – the young, elderly and
infirm. Every year 437 children* (average) under
five are seriously scalded in the bath. Of 21
recorded fatal cases, 72% were accounted for by
the 65+ age group.
What is the solution?
Products called TMV’s – Thermostatic
Mixing Valves are available from Gummers, which
would significantly reduce the risk of scalds
occurring in the home or indeed anywhere that
hot water is delivered through mixing valves.
