The problem with a minimal code! American Plumbing, LMP #556
When the Louisiana Legislature was forcing the IPC / IRC codes down the consumers throats, a number of us were pointing out the IPC / IRC were self described minimal codes. The legislature did not care about the consumers and forced these minimal codes down the Louisiana consumers throats. Since that time the current LSUCCC has been having to amend the code to strengthen it. The above amendment is a perfect example.

What is a tempering valve? www.americanplumbingla.com #americanplumbing #geriatricgymrat #temperingvalve #federalgovernment #plumbingrepairs A tempering valve is a plumbing safety device that mixes hot water with cold water to deliver water at a controlled, safe temperature. What it does Reduces very hot water from a heater to a preset temperature Prevents scalding at taps, showers, or fixtures Keeps water temperature consistent even if pressure or supply changes Where it’s commonly used Domestic hot water systems (homes, apartments) Bathrooms, showers, sinks Solar and heat-pump water heaters (which often store water at higher temperatures) Hospitals, schools, childcare centers (where safety standards are strict) Why it’s important Water heaters are often set to 60°C (140°F) or higher to prevent bacteria like Legionella Tempering valves typically reduce outlet temperature to around 45–50°C (113–122°F), which is much safer for skin How it works (simple) Hot water enters the valve Cold water enters the valve The valve blends them to a set temperature Mixed water exits to fixtures Tempering valve vs thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) Tempering valve: Usually serves an entire house or group of fixtures TMV: More precise, often used at individual outlets (like a single shower)
