Thermostatic Mixing Valves
Ftec offer a full range of services from installation, maintenance and servicing of thermostatic mixing valves (TMV's).
Thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) is a valve used for maintaining water temperature by blending hot water with cold water to ensure constant, safe temperatures for washing hands, taking showers and baths.
In order to kill legionella bacteria, hot water must be stored at a higher temperature than it is dispensed, so regular TMV servicing is crucial to ensure the valve is operating correctly and to prevent potential scalding incidents.
Ftec carry out TMV servicing in many facilities, including offices, leisure, education, health care and social facilities.
Both water systems and TMV's should be regularly tested in order to maintain a safe working order. We recommend annual TMV servicing, however if you suspect a problem, this should be done more regularly.
An indication of TMV issues is often a change in water temperature.
If your TMV is not serviced regularly and a problem arises, you pose a great risk of scalding and Legionella contamination to services users.
Ftec can service your TMVs as part of a Legionella prevention programme and will provide documentary evidence of the findings to support your compliance records.

The type of valve used will depend on the size of the pipe, the overall pressure that the system operates, the flowing media, process conditions, and other factors.
Reduced pressure zone valves (RPZ) are extremely important. They're used to keep contamination or pollution out of your water. Specifically, these devices are installed onto your plumbing system to help protect both drinking water
Pressure relief valves (safety relief valves) are designed to open at a pre-set pressure and discharge fluid until pressure drops to acceptable levels.
