The Uniform Plumbing Code specifies that faucets “shall be connected to the water distribution system so that hot water corresponds to the left side of the fittings.” Beyond this, the book is silent with regard to special circumstances.Jul 4, 1999
Which way do you turn for hot water?
To increase water temperature, either turn the hot water screw counterclockwise or turn the cold water screw clockwise. To decrease water temperature, either turn the hot water screw clockwise or turn the cold water screw counterclockwise.
Should hot water faucet be on left or right?
Cold water should always be on the right side of the faucet and hot on the left. This is an industry standard throughout North America, and applies to single lever as well as dual faucets.
Does hot water go on top or bottom?
Water enters the tank from the main water supply. The heating burner/element at the bottom of the tank starts to heat the water. As the water heats, it will rise to the top of the tank. When you need hot water, it's taken from the top of the tank where the hottest water is.Mar 28, 2018
