injured by hot water than others. These include the elderly,
children, the infirm, or physically/mentally handicapped. If

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. In addition to using the lowest possible
temperature setting that satisfies your hot water needs, a
means such as a mixing valve, shall be used at the hot water
taps used by these people or at the water heater. Mixing valves
are available at plumbing supply or hardware stores. Follow
manufacturers instructions for installation of the valves. Before
changing the factory setting on the thermostat, read the
“Temperature Regulation” section in this manual.
NOTE: To protect against untimely corrosion of hot and cold
water fittings, it is strongly recommended that di-electric unions
or couplings be installed on this water heater when connected
to copper pipe.
