Temperature Regulation

Due to the nature of the typical gas water heater, the water rem- perature in certain situations may vary up to 30°F higher or lower at the point of use such as, bathtubs, showers, sink, etc.

This means that when the temperature adjustment dial is set at the mark approximating 120°F, the actual water temperature at any hot water tap could be as high as 150°F or as low as 90°E

Any water heater's intended purpose is to heat water. Hot water is needed for cleaning (bodies, dishes, clothing). Hot water will

present a scald hazard. Depending on the time element, and the

people involved (normaladults, children, toddlers, elderly, infirm, etc.) scalding may occur at different temperatures.

lowest position, to reduce the risk of scald injury. It is adjustable and must be reset to the desired temperature setting. The mark

(A)indicative of approximately 120°F is the preferred starting point. Some states have a requirement for a lower setting. If you need hotter water, follow directions for temperature adjustment, but beware of the warnings in this section.
