Sending cooler water to faucets and fixtures

Your boiler (or tankless water heater) might produce water at a higher temperature than what you want flowing to your faucets and fixtures. If this is the case, you will need to install a mixing valve. A mixing valve will take your hot water on one end and take cold water in on another end. A dial is set to the temperature you desire, and the valve will mix the hot with the cold to produce water of that temperature.
