Tempering valves blend stored hot water with cold supply to deliver a safer temperature at bathroom outlets. Australian regulations require them on mains pressure storage systems to reduce scald risk. The unit at this Palmwoods property had been leaking from its body, and rather than patch an aging valve, our technician installed a new 15mm tempering valve rated for the system's output. Insulated pipework was reconnected, and outlet temperature was tested at the ensuite to confirm compliance. Sunshine Coast Plumbing and Hot Water handles hot water system installation and valve upgrades across the hinterland suburbs. If your storage system lacks a compliant tempering valve or the existing one shows signs of failure, visiting our website provides guidance on requirements and options.
