Dang, ran out of red... oh well, nobody will see it buried in the attic insulation anyway

If it were only that simple.

Hot and cold were reversed at the tub faucet, and the toilet was plumbed with hot water. . .

Jeff i think your wrong, that is the new steam wipe , keeps the pimples down on your butt. I wish you would keep up with the new stuff!

[Jeffrey R. Pope]

That hurts just thinking about it. . .

How did you determine the toilet was plumbed with hot water? Did you flush it 30 times to push out the ambient temp water and stick your hand in it?

I disclaim checking water supply temperatures on toilets.

I guess Jeff could have taken some IR images.

I don't normally check toilet temps either, but after I saw this in the attic, I was looking for the issue.

I didn't think to take an IR image

LOL I've seen that done with copper, but that's a whole new level of incompetence to manage to do it with PEX. Check the hose bibs too

Jim,
Haven't you seen any mixing valves in your area yet? I starting seeing them a couple of years ago. Mix the cold/hot water to the water closet to reduce condensation. Actually works really well.

Funny, I ran across that...on a new build inspection...water heater was backwards with that....cant find the pic right now but it was funny
