Note: Valves operating outside these conditions cannot be guaranteed by the
Scheme to operate as Type 2 valves.
If a water supply is fed by gravity, then the supply pressure should be verified to
ensure the conditions of use are appropriate for the valve.
Recommended Outlet temperatures
The BuildCert TMV scheme recommends the following set maximum mixed water
outlet temperatures for use in all premises is 41°C for showers.
The mixed water temperatures must never exceed 46°C.
The maximum mixed water temperature can be 2°C above the recommended
maximum set outlet temperatures.
Note: 46ºC is the maximum mixed water temperature from the bath tap. The
maximum temperature takes account of the allowable temperature tolerances
inherent in thermostatic mixing valves and temperature losses in metal baths.
Warning: It is not a safe bathing temperature for adults or children.
The British Burns Association recommends 37 to 37.5ºC as a comfortable bathing
temperature for children. In premises covered by the Care Standards Act 2000, the
maximum mixed water outlet temperature is 43ºC.
