Abstract: A thermostatic mixing valve including: a first fluid inlet; a second fluid inlet; an outlet; a thermostatic element connected to a return spring and a piston such that movement of the thermostatic element assists with moving the piston, movement of the piston controlling fluid flow from the first fluid inlet and the second fluid inlet to the outlet; a housing containing an overtravel spring, the overtravel spring configured to resist a force applied by the thermostatic element during movement thereof; and a plunger extending into the housing, the plunger configured to engage the overtravel spring, wherein rotating the plunger adjusts the resistance applied onto the thermostatic element from the overtravel spring.

Abstract: A disinfection device for a valve, the disinfection device including: a mobile member having an outer portion including a camming surface configured to engage with an activation member such that rotation of the activation member relative to the camming surface, about an axis, moves the mobile member in the axial direction, wherein the mobile member is associated with an adjusting device of the valve such that movement of the mobile member in the axial direction moves at least part of the adjusting device to allow adjustment of a predetermined outlet temperature of the valve.

Abstract: A water temperature regulating valve (10) including a valve body (12) having a cavity (13) in which mixing of fluids can occur, and provided with a hot fluid (or heated water) inlet (18) adapted for communication with a source of hot (or heated) water, a cooled fluid inlet (16) adapted for communication with an apparatus that has used the mixed fluid for heating, a mixed fluid outlet (14) adapted for communication with an apparatus that uses the mixed fluid for heating, and a return fluid outlet (20) adapted for communication with the source of hot (or heated) water, all inlets and outlets also being in communication with the cavity (13) provided within the valve body (12), said cavity (13) being provided with an insert (24) in a sealing relationship with an inner surface of the said cavity (13), said insert (24) having a central bore (42) and also defining flow passages and being configured to direct the flows of hot fluid entering the cavity (13) via the hot fluid inlet (18) and cooled fluid entering the ca
