`
`The American Journal of Public Health prefers a maximum temperature of 120°F for hot water.
`
`The Consumer Product Safety Commission and the plumbing industry have published a voluntary
`standard which states that the maximum allowable temperature at the water outlet to the bathing area
`should be 120°F.
`
`There are national standards set forth by the major plumbing code making bodies, which specify a
`maximum temperature of 120°F for delivered hot water. The major code making bodies include:
`
`Southern Building Code Congress International (South)
`National Association of Plumbing, Heating and Cooling Contractors (NJ, DE, MO, NE)
`Council of American Building Officials (Regulate 1 & 2 family homes in U.S.)
`International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (West)
`Building Officials and Code Administrators (Northwest and Midwest)
`
`Other nationally recognized plumbing code bodies that have published or proposed standards specifying
`120°F as the maximum allowable discharge temperature include:
`
`American Society for Testing & Materials (ASTM F44488) Standard Consumer Safety
`Specification for ScaldPrevention Devices and Systems in Bathing Areas.
`
`American Society of Sanitary Engineers and Plumbing Manufacturers' Institute
`(ASSE 1016) Individual Thermostatic Pressure Balancing and Combination Control
`Valves for Bathing Facilities.
`
`American Society of Sanitary Engineers and the Plumbing Manufacturers' Institute
`(ASSE 1062) Temperature Actuated Flow Reducers for Individual Fixture Fittings.
`Passed the ASSE Standards Committee April 26, 1996
`
`Other organizations that specify a maximum of 120°F for delivered water temperature include:
