TMV2 to non concussive tap

[Dom38]

:90:Hi... Need some help please!

I have been asked to fit a TMV2 to a non concussive tap in a school. The specification for the install states that I am not required to install a separate cold feed and the non concussive tap is not a mixer. I am sure this does not comply with the regs. Am I right in thinking this? I've been looking at BS Standards, Building Regs G and WRAS. Please help!

Most of the ones I fit are taken from the cold and hot taps to the basin and then mixed hot to the hot tap

Also the requirement is TMV3 for schools

Just fitted one tonight on a solo tap. Cold straight to tap, tee off cold to tmv, hot into tmv and mix to hot tap.

TMV seems a bit of a waste on a non concussive tap. Probably wont run long enough to get hot 🙂

Hi thanks for advice but just to clarify I only have one tap fed from tmv which means I only have hot water supply I do not have a cold tap which means no cold water at all surly this is not correct and should either have a mixer tap or another pillar tap

Just fitted 5 sensor taps with blending valves, so no cold tap just blended, nothing wrong with that as long as their are Check valves.

You need a cold supply for the mixer to work, so you either need to find a cold supply or not fit the tmv3

As above you need a cold supply for the blending valve to work properly! Otherwise the blending valve will just shut down.

I have a cold supply and hot to the tmv I have one pillar tap it is not a mixer ! What I am asking is . Is it ok to only have a hot tap regulated to 43 degrees and no cold tap ?
