Hot water systems can be set to deliver water so hot that it is scalding when it comes out of the faucet. This results in babies, children, and even adults being severely burned. Young children have died from this sort of thing. As a result governments and other advisory organizations set maximum allowable temperatures for hot water in plumbed systems.

Thermostatic valve in water supply system?

Most thermostatic valves are only needed in a domestic water system that has a device to heat water (such as waterheater). These valves will control the set temperature of the valve and only allow the degrees of set temperature and colder. Example lets say you have a thermostatic shower valve with the cold side being 52 degrees F and the hot side 140 degrees F and the valve set at 120 F , this valve will only allow the max temp of 120 F out of the shower head but does not control any cooler temp only the max temp in which it is set. They also have thermostatic valves that control any temp but mostly for controlling hot water to prevent scalding. Pressure balanced valves will not control temperature only pressure and equals the same pressure from hot and cold sides.
