    I'm looking, and finding it hard to find information on these valves so maybe somebody here can help.
    I'm looking for a TMV that can serve an entire standard house. Rated tmv2/3 is easy to find but the all seem to be point of use mixers. Even the 22mm valves are point of use.
    Coujd anybody help please.

    It's better to put one at each point of use - if you just put one at the centre, the pipes won't ever get hot enough to kill bugs

    worse, the water in the pipes will be just right for growing all sorts of yokes - your facecloth will jump up and bite you on the lip

    I understand that but it's simply not practical to do every hot water point

    you can parallel these ones for more flow

    Larger applications can use several valves in parallel for higher flow rates.
