Warm outdoor tap

Question

Years ago we had an outdoor tap fitted that gave us warm water for washing our dogs. Kitchen sink was moved during refurb and they changed all the pipes so now only hot water out of the tap…they removed a small valve that was really small and simple but I can’t find it online anywhere- it wasn’t one of the big TMVs I’ve seen- just a small brass joint..any help appreciated!

You need a blending valve, temperature can be controlled to avoid any burns, they premix the hot with cold before it goes to the hot tap, similar to primary schools and hospitals etc

Chris · Answer

Sounds like a compression coupler was used to join in the pipes or a compression tee

John · Answer

Toolstation do one for about £32 which is good quality

Peter · Answer

Would only be an isolation valve by sounds of the description. You say you had warm water from the tap before - now only hot water? 
Either the cold water isn't connected or isolation valve for the cold water if what you are referring to isn't connected or its left closed.. 
Hope this helps.

It’s called a ballofix valve you can pick them up in Screwfix or the merchants! It opens and closes with a plain screwdriver

Just have a thermostatic bar fitted. Make sure it’s well insulated especially during winter.

Nj · Answer

was it a tee fitting from the hot supply that then blended with the hot to give you warm water externally
