AKW Thermostatic Blending Valve

Mixes hot and cold water to deliver safe, controlled temperatures to taps, showers, bidets and other outlets. It suits care and domestic environments where vulnerable users are present. It is approved to both TMV2 and TMV3 and has a fail-safe function that stops the mixed water flow if either the hot or cold supply fails. Integral check valves and strainers are built in, and the head is tamper-resistant once set. It comes in 15mm and 22mm sizes. Both suit basins, bidets and showers, and the 22mm also suits bath filling.
