Delabie’s new TMV3-approved point-ofuse thermostatic mixing valve, the Premix NANO, has a compact design ‘ideal for under basin installation to deliver safe, mixed water for one or two basin taps, or to supply one shower’.
The company said: “The new HSG 274 part 2 guidelines recommend fitting a type 3 thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) to washbasins and sinks for ‘high risk’ users, ‘as close as possible to the point-of-use’.”
Less than 8 cms long, the Premix NANO fits discreetly under a basin, or close to the delivery point for showers, either behind a panel, or in the roof space.
Delabie added: “The Premix NANO is extremely precise. Pre-set at 38°C, the installer can adjust the mixed water from 34° to 60° C. It will regulate any variation in temperature, pressure, and flow rate, to deliver safe, stable mixed water in any installation. Its automatic failsafe is active for both the hot and cold water supply, ensuring automatic shut-off if either fails.” Buildcert and WRAS-certified, it is NHS Estate D08-approved, and has a minimum required flow rate of 3 litres / min, ‘one of the lowest on the market’.
