In April 2010 Part G of the Building Regulations for England and Wales will be revised to require the hot bath water in new build and extensively refurbished domestic properties to be limited to 48ºC. Installing a thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) or blending valve will meet this new regulation. The change to the regulations is designed to limit the risk of scalding accidents. The regulation has been in force in Scotland since May 2006.
