new - lots.
eBay - much less.
I would put a search in on eBay and save it. I waited 4 months for one, but I got it for £40 odd. (NEW)
On the way I got to know the price of TMVs quite well. Even bought a job lot and sold them off one at a time which made enough profit to pay for the Horne Grin Grin

Thanks. My reckoning is that say a vented thermal store with mixer is (about) £300 more than a vented cylinder, then if the Horne 25 is (say) £150, then the former option looks more affordable. And I get mains-pressure hot water!

Paul - you give away too many secrets - probably why there are rarely any Horne valves on Ebay these days!
I like the sig by the way   Grin

fittobust - I think Navitron now sell the Horne but you could also try ringing Hannah at Horne...

I'm not sure from your post what you plan to do but....
1. I'd be careful with planning to use a TMV with mains pressure only on one side. They will work with different pressures, but there's a limit to the differential.

2. Personally, I'm not sure what the advantage of mains pressure hot water is; I've got this dislike of high pressure showers due to the waste of hot water and energy, just use a good shower head on a low pressure system for a good shower and saving energy.
