Thermostatic mixers use a device (thermostatic head worker or valve) that mixes or blends hot water with cold water to ensure constant, safe outlet temperatures preventing scalding.

Hot and cold water entering the valve is mixed to a temperature pre-selected by the user or installer. A thermal-sensitive mechanism within the valve’s body automatically proportions the amount of hot and cold water entering.

The mechanism then automatically compensates for any reasonable variations in supply pressures or temperatures within the design range and capability to maintain the pre-selected temperature.

In the event of cold water supply failure, the thermostatic mixing mechanism will automatically shut down the flow to prevent discharge of dangerously hot water.

The flow will also be shut down in the event of a hot water supply failure to prevent thermal shock. In the event of a sudden supply temperature increase (‘spike’), the thermostatic mixing valve will within 3 seconds adapt and deliver water at a safe temperature.
