Abstract:
Concerns originally raised by Welsh Health Estates personnel over the risk of patients, and particularly the elderly and children, burning themselves on the body of mixer taps incorporating TMV3 thermostatic mixing valves (TMVs), have, suppliers claim, seen a concerted recent drive to improve such devices' design. Manufacturers have also striven to ensure their latest thermostatic tap and valve technologies minimise any risk of scalding from excessively hot water during washing, showering or bathing in healthcare environments.
