Hot water has been around since man first harnessed the power of fire, but when at elevated temperatures, it is dangerous and even deadly. Today’s hot water heaters offer a diverse range of technologies that perform leaps and bounds ahead of their predecessors, but what temperature should they deliver?

Caleffi’s SinkMixer is a thermostatic mixing valve fur under-sink and under-counter applications where the user must be protected from the danger of scalding caused by hot water.

The 2021 AHR Innovation Award winner in plumbing, the Caleffi AngleMix is the industry’s only thermostatic mixing valve with an angle-style body. 

Although the market for gas-fired boilers continues to track toward those that can modulate and operate with sustained flue gas condensation, conventional boilers (e.g., those not designed to operate with sustained flue gas condensation) still represent a significant portion of the market. 

Preventing scalding is indeed something that requires serious consideration. 

The LEGIOMIX Master Mixing Valve for commercial domestic hot water is now available with 2-1/2” ANSI 150 Class flanges for demands of 17 to 470 gpm and 3” ANSI 150 Class flanges for demands of 22 to 537 gpm. 

Webstone, a brand of NIBCO, introduces the new Thermostatic Mixing Valve for high-temperature solar heat sources.
