question about the hot attic water
just wondering about the lines going through the attic.
have you ever had problems with the tempering shower valves
not functioiing properly because of the rush of hot water from both the hot
and cold sides of the valve????
of course this would only be a situation that would last till all the hot water in the cold lines is totally out, and that would depend on how long the runs are in the attic...
something you would just have to get used to in the desert
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I once had a SIMMONS tempering valve in a commercial situation that didnt work properly because the plumber actually ran hot to the hot side and ran
a luke warm water to the cold side instead of real cold, cold water.
He tied in a return line from the recircualtion pump for the water heater to the incomming cold lien to the tempering valve.
This totally messed up the simmons valves operation. It bounced all over the place. Had to be changed to only COLD incomming water..

A non commercial simmons tempering tub or shower valve , would it mess up or act erratic with hot water comming down from the attic??
A Delta Pressure balanced valve functiosn by a change in pressure only,
or does temperature have a role in the function of the valve???
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
only a temporary inconvienance, but still a pain
and
I guess some scumbag could claim that they were scalded too....
any opinions about this....
