Since the installed supply conditions are likely to be different
from those applied in the laboratory tests it is appropriate, at
commissioning, to carry out some simple checks and tests on
each mixing valve to provide a performance reference point
for future in-service tests.
P R O C E D U R E
1. Check that:
a) the designation of the thermostatic mixing valve mat-
ches the intended application
b) the supply pressures are within the range of operating
pressures for the designation of the valve
c) the supply temperatures are within the range permit-
ted for the valve and by guidance information on the
prevention of legionella etc.
2. Adjust the temperature of the mixed water in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions (page 63) and the
requirement of the application and then carry out the
following sequence:
a) record the temperature of the hot and cold water
supplies
b) record the temperature of the mixed water at the
largest draw-off flow rate
c) record the temperature of the mixed water at a
smaller draw-off flow rate, which shall be measured
d) isolate the cold water supply to the mixing valve and
monitor the mixed water temperature
e) record the maximum temperature achieved as a result
of (d) and the final stabilised temperature
NOTE: The final stabilised mixed water temperature should
not exceed the values in Table A.
f) record the equipment, thermometer etc. used for the
measurements
Table A: Guide to maximum stabilised temperatures
recorded during site tests

The mixed water temperature at terminal fitting should
never exceed 46ºC.
If there is a residual flow during the commissioning or the
annual verification (cold water supply isolation test), then this
is acceptable providing the temperature of the water seeping
from the valve is no more than 2°C above the designated
maximum mixed water outlet temperature setting of the valve.
Temperature readings should be taken at the normal flow rate
after allowing for the system to stabilise.
The sensing part of the thermometer probe must be fully
submerged in the water that is to be tested.
Any TMV that has been adjusted or serviced must be
re-commissioned and re-tested in accordance with the
manufacturers' instructions.
