This is something I need to look into for the new house. 

In our last house all hot water except the kitchen sink went through a main TMV, 

can this be done instead of TMV on outlet point of showers. 

Whats the rules on scalding yourself on the bath hot tap. 

 

Not sure I understand the question...?

 

Baths and sinks ideally need slightly different temperature hots. 

 

You can fit local TMVs to individual sinks, baths etc - what I AM looking to do.

 

The ideal I believe is to run all the pipes from a manifold at a UVC/TS - what I SHOULD be doing!

Screweys have a Mira shower on clearance under £100. 8.4l/min at 0.1bar.

Unless there's an environment where unsupervised children, infirm or elderly folk use the outlets, there is no real requirement for thermostatically controlled outlets. Rentals should have a thermostatic shower if there is an instantaneous water heater ( like a combi for eg ). 

I have a 3-way thermostatic valve that does my bath filler / shower rose / shower handset, so they're covered, and I fitted a separate TMV under my combi to supply temp controlled hot water to the basins ( x2 ). Even though they are mixer basin taps it's just so much safer, and easier to control. Simply flick the tap to the hot position and turn on full to get the same flow & temp every time. No faffing with hot and cold taps to get a decent temp as that would just bug me, plus my TMV was less than £20 delivered off eBay. ?

With an UVC you typically run direct with no 'front of house' TMV at the cylinder, but a TS needs one as the stored ( set ) temp is way higher than with an UVC.
