The problem with FEMA approved plumbing! American Plumbing, LMP #556
Every time we have a storm and FEMA steps in, our customers pay the price for FEMA contractors poor workmanship. When FEMA is involved the local governing body has no control of who performs the work. That is why you end up with a flood of illegals working for non-licensed companies. Above is an example of an illegal water heater installation in 2016.

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)
