TMV valve checks on domestic properties

[Stefromthewirral]

Hi

Am due to fit a TMV valve in a domestic property (not a new build) it's not a residential home or anything like that just a domestic dwelling for a private client.

I am aware of the checks required in Nursing homes etc but I can't see any requirement for after installation tests on domestic dwelling.

Firstly have I got this right? Secondly would you recommend to the client that the valve is checked every 12 months? As I have seen this in some TMV installation literature stating this is good practice?

Thanks

Hi

The client wants it fitted to her bath because she's scared that her grandchildren could turn the tap on and burn themselves, it's just piece of mind for her.

Thanks

would say just to get the client to check it once and a while if its only for that reason

Hi There, have a read of the TMV2 approval, this will state everything you need to know about testing and requirements. Good to these being fitted to protect homeowners from severe scolding due to full immersion in baths.
