Key information for sizing Thermostatic Mixing Valves for Emergency Fixtures:

 
  1. Determine incoming pressure. Valve flow depends on pressure supplied to valve.
  2. Per ANSI, a minimum of 30 PSI must be supplied to Emergency Eyewash and Shower Equipment.
  3. To use a TMV, a minimum of 2 GPM must be supplied to the unit.
  4. EFX items should be on a dedicated supply line so supply will not be disrupted.
  5. The number of units attached to a Thermostatic Mixing Valve will depend on location and flow requirements.
  6. The layout of TMVs must be determined by end user, or installer/plumber.
  7. If calculated amount is higher than valve GPM rating at incoming pressure, additional valves must be used.
