    Does it have to be mounted upright (blue cap on top) or can it be mounted with the main body horizontal (hot at 12 o'clock, cold at 6 o'clock and mixed at 9 o'clock)

    There are no H/V orientation markings on the body and no mention of an orientation requirement in either the install manual or specs. The one requirement is that you don't mix up hot and cold.

    So no.

    Thanks for that. Will make the piping far more straightforward 👍

    The TMV comes preset to 43C, so ensure you have access to the "top" in case you want to change the setting.
