Anti-Scald For SHW [RE-wrenches]

[Travis Creswell, Ozark Solar]

Thanks Darryl,

I failed to mention that these homes are regulated by the State Housing
Authority.  Submittals will be required and likely carefully reviewed by the
local inspector and a state official.  One of these persons will quickly
realize that the mixing valve is not and "anti-scald" valve.

I'm specifically looking for information about the requirements of using
anti-scald device for a drain back system.  We probably will have to hire
and engineer to certify and draw up prints and it would be easier if I had a
reference for the engineer to refer to if he decided to specify an
anti-scald device.

Best,

Travis Creswell

HI 
I use just a standard tempering valve for water
heaters.  I use them all the time, they last longer on
soft water as the lime will deposit from the cold side
as it is heated.  (The hot side has been delimed by
the heater elements or the solar heatexchanger.
