Mixing Valves

Q: Do mixing valves prevent scalding?

Yes — many mixing valves, especially thermostatic mixing valves (TMVs), are designed with anti-scald protection. They automatically adjust water temperature if there’s a sudden change in hot or cold supply pressure, reducing the risk of burns. We carry a high-quality anti-scald mixing valve for both residential and commercial use.
