The temperature control value is essentially the mixing value. Right above the hot water tank, you connect it to your hot and cold water lines. You set your desired water temperature, and the valve then alternates between hot water from your tank and regular cold water until you reach the desired temperature.

What are shower mixing valves and how do they work?

What is a thermostatic mixer and how does it work? The thermostatic valve mixes hot as well as cold water to the temperature you specify. Also, it reacts instantly to changes in water pressure or temperature by readjusting the hot and cold water mix.

What is the function of a boiler mixing valve?

The mixing valve allows the heat source (boiler or water heater) to be set at a higher temperature to meet high-temperature loads, while the radiant circuit is supplied with a lower water temperature via the mixing valve.

To get hotter water, which way do you turn a mixing valve?

The outgoing water temperature is cooled by turning the automatic mixing valve clockwise. The outgoing water temperature rises when the Watts mixing valve is turned counterclockwise.

Is it possible to change the settings on a shower mixing valve?

What is the difference between a thermostatic mixing valve and a mixing valve?

A tempering valve is accurate to about 3°C +/-, whereas a thermostatic mixing valve can keep the water at 1°C +/- and reacts faster to changes in incoming water temperature than a tempering valve. TMVs are designed specifically for use in high-risk environments, such as nursing homes and hospitals.
