FAQs
What is a TMV and why do I need one?
A tempering mixing valve (TMV) blends hot and cold water to a safe, controlled temperature. It’s essential in facilities where users are at risk of scalding, such as hospitals, aged care facilities, and childcare centres.
Is TMV testing a legal requirement in Victoria?
Yes. Facilities in Victoria that provide personal care or health services must have TMVs installed and tested regularly under plumbing and health regulations.
How often should TMVs be serviced?
TMVs must be tested and serviced every 12 months, or more frequently if specified by your local health authority or manufacturer guidelines.
What happens during TMV maintenance?
We clean filters, check valve components, calibrate water temperature, inspect for wear or corrosion, and issue a test report for compliance.
Do you offer TMV installation for new builds?
Yes. Our TMV installation Melbourne service includes planning, supply, installation, and certification for new homes and commercial properties.
