Water Temperature Regulation
For systems with storage tanks, the water
temperature in certain situation may vary up
to 30
°
F (16.7
°
C) higher or lower at the point
of use such as, bathtubs,showers, sink, etc.
HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: Water heat-
ers, are intended to produce hot water. Water
heated to a temperature which will satisfy
space heating, clothes washing, dish wash-
ing, and other sanitizing needs can scald and
permanently injure you upon contact. Some
people are more likely to be permanently in-
jured by hot water than others. These include
the elderly, children, the infirm, or physically/
mentally handicapped. If anyone using hot
water in the home fits into one of these
groups or if there is a local code or state law
requiring a certain temperature water at the
hot water tap, then you must take special
precautions.
Water temperature over 125°F can cause
severe burns instantly or death from scalds.
Children, disabled and elderly are at highest
risk of being scalded.
Feel water before bathing or showering.
Temperature limiting valves are available.

NOTE: This water heater must be installed according to all local and state codes or, in the absence
of local and state codes, the “National Fuel Gas Code”, ANSI Z223.1(NFPA 54)-current edition.
In addition to using the lowest possible temperature setting that satisfies your hot water needs, a means
such as a mixing valve, should be used at hot water taps used by these people or at the water heater.
Mixing valves are available at plumbing supply or hardware stores. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for
installation of the valves. Before changing the factory setting on the thermostat see Table “A”. Using the
lowest hot water temperature that meets your needs will also provide the most energy efficient operation
of the water heater.
Never allow small children to use a hot water
tap, or to draw their own bath water. Never
leave a child or handicapped person un-
attended in a bathtub or shower.
NOTE: A water temperature range of 120
°
F -
140
°
F (49
