Thermostatic Mixing Valves Forreston

A thermostat mixing valve mixes cold water with hot water to ensure constant and safe temperature for showers and other use so that scalding can be prevented. These valves provide increased user comfort because the hot water temperature remains constant. Many thermostat mixing valves include a wax thermostat for regulation. These valves turn off rapidly to prevent scalding or thermal shock to the user. There are three types of thermostat mixing valves available these days. These are heat source valves used with central heating systems; group controls and point of use valves. Mostly the temperature for hot water storage is set to 140 degree Fahrenheit and to circulate and distribute the temperature is set to 122 degrees Fahrenheit. Valves help to set a fixed temperature of the circulating water. Features and Benefits of Thermostat mixing valves: These valves are designed to prevent scalding, so they provide a safe way to use hot water, which is not too hot or too cold. Anti-scalding technology is now low maintenance. Thermostat mixing valves increase the amount of hot water as they will not let much heat loss. Low maintenance and decreased interaction with valves as no manual programming is required. These systems are very cost-effective. At 140 degree Fahrenheit, bacteria growth will be prevented yet safe comfortable water will be achieved for use. Thermostat mixing valves save water and energy too so they make the use of water and electricity very economical. With such a wide variety of valves, available, one can select a thermostat mixing valve according to his/her needs and requirements.
