The new Victoria Plumb Thermostatic Mixing Valve is an anti-scalding device that can be added to any washbasin or bath to ensure the safety of your family.

There are around 20 fatalities every year as a result of hot bath water scalding. The most vulnerable to hot water scalding are the young and the elderly as the skin is thinner making it more perceptible to scalding injuries.

According to a report on the TMVA website “Hot bath water is responsible for the highest number of fatal and severe scald injuries in the home.” Figures also show that a massive 75% of severe scalds are suffered by children under the age of 5 and a staggering 75% of fatalities being of people aged 65+.

These are worrying figures and an easy and inexpensive solution is to install a Thermostatic Mixing Valve, which is easily purchased as an individual item or added as part of a bathroom suite from Victoria Plumb.

The Victoria Plumb Thermostatic Mixing Valve is WRAS & TMV3 approved and will need to be installed in your bathroom by a plumber to ensure the anti-scalding device is correctly installed.
