Pegler Yorkshire can now offer a new mixing valve that it says greatly simplifies valve selection while simultaneously enhancing product performance – by blending two valves into one “all-purpose”, multi-use TMV.
Traditionally, TMV products have been divided into Type2 (for the domestic market) and Type3 (for environments such as hospitals), with the latter requiring a more exacting standard. However, with HTM 04-01 allowing use of a Type2 valve in certain hospital locations, Pegler Yorkshire has now combined a Type3 and Type2 into one blended valve that it says still offers “all the high performance” of a TMV3, yet maintains the lower servicing costs if used in TMV2 environments. The new valves are fitted with a blue cap (denoting a Type3 TMV) as standard, and if the valve is then used as a Type2 – and installed and commissioned as such, then the white cap (denoting Type2 status) can be fitted, providing a clear visual indication of how the valve is being used, and the appropriate servicing/testing regimes. The new TMV complies with BSEN1111 and BSEN1287, and meets the BS7942 standard and the Model Engineering Specification.
