DANGER
• 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.
• Set the thermostat as low as practical. Settings the thermostat as
low as possible will reduce the risk of scalding and reduce energy
consumption.
• Feel water before showering or bathing.
• Special valves are available to provide anti-scald protection.
Consult a licensed plumber or the local pluming authority for more
information.
If the temperature and pressure relief valve on the SB tank opens
periodically, it may be due to thermal expansion in a closed water supply
system. Consult a licensed plumber, the local plumbing authority, or the
water supplier. Do not plug the Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve.
SB TANK PIPING WITH A “MIXING VALVE”
Usually, the maximum temperature of the outlet water will stay near
the setting of the thermostat. In some cases, however, hot water usage
patterns can cause the outlet water temperature to rise significantly
above the control settings.
The temperature of water going to the fixtures may be more
carefully controlled through the use of a mixing valve. This device blends
a controlled amount of cold water with the hot water from the tank to
provide a more constant temperature at the fixtures.
