Hey All,
I have a Watts MMV-M1 Mixing valve I would like to install in a bathroom to prevent scalding through flushing or accidental knob bumping/turning. The fixtures in this bathroom are old-school with no such features.
Now, it would be much easier to install this in the basement where I have direct access to the pipes that feed the bathroom, but this would result in the entire bathroom being controlled by the valve (toilet/vanity/tub/shower) as opposed to just the tub/shower.
My question is this: If I install it this way (entire bathroom on mixing valve) am I somehow negating the protection against the dreaded "hot flash flush" since the toilet is on the receiving end instead of the supply end? Or does it matter?
If it doesn't matter, could I put multiple bathroom on this one valve by installing it near the water heater?
Thanks!
