Commission and Maintain Hot Water Temperature Control Devices

Plumbing Registration Training Program

The most vulnerable people in our community are at risk of severe injury and death through incorrectly installed and maintained thermostatic mixing valves and other hot water temperature control devices. Aged care homes, hospitals and child care facilities are just a sample of where such devices must be used.

As a plumber, you are charged with the responsibility of protecting the health and safety of the community
and must ensure that such devices are used in accordance with both regulatory and manufacturers’
specific requirements. This nationally recognised unit covers the skills and knowledge required to commission and maintain hot water temperature control devices.

Participants will learn:

About temperature control. Where and when must it be applied?
About device identification, characteristics and installation requirements.
To perform testing of devices.
To perform maintenance on devices.
