Hi,
I am building an extension and planning to install a double-ended bath in an en-suite bathroom. I like the idea of a bath overflow filler with a recessed wall-mounted thermostatic valve (see images below of proposed purchases and setup)
My main concern is how the valves work. Often in the bath I want to put in hot water only to warm the whole bath. Presumably the shower valves are designed never to do this as it would scald. But I don't see any other recessed alternative.
Basically I have 2 questions:
1. Does the mixer valve pushed all the way over to the hot side deliver only hot water or does it still mix in some cold
2. If not is there a better solution to supply hot water only to the filler
In case it is important the hot supply will be from a Vaillant EctoTec 937 which is plumbed into a newly installed 25mm MDPE supply with a 4-5 bar static pressure.
