A crucial part of being Part G compliant, is ensuring that baths in new homes have thermostatic control of water temperatures. To guard against scalding, especially in properties that may be home to vulnerable groups such as young children and the elderly all baths are required to fit a device that limits the hot water to a maximum 48°C.
With over 40 years of bathroom experience, Bristan Group provides affordable housing solutions that won’t get you in hot water!
Thermostatically speaking
Thermostatic mixing valves (TMV) are the most effective way to alleviate the risk of scalding anywhere that hot water is delivered. TMVs allow water to be stored and distributed at a high enough temperature to kill harmful legionella bacteria, and reduce it to a safe temperature at the point of use by mixing it with cold water supply. What’s more, TMVs will maintain water temperature even when the incoming water pressures or flow rates change.
Pictured here, the Bristan Assure Thermostatic Bath Shower Mixer comes with easy to use handles and a five year parts warranty.
