What is the maximum deliverable temperature of hot water specified?

A. 98 degrees
B. 104 degrees
C. 112 degrees
D. 120 degrees

The correct answer is: C. 112 degrees

The maximum deliverable temperature of hot water is specified to be 120 degrees Fahrenheit. This temperature is generally recognized as a safe limit to prevent scalding while still being adequately hot for a range of tasks, such as dishwashing and bathing. Water above this temperature can significantly increase the risk of burns, particularly in vulnerable populations such as children and the elderly. Thus, 120 degrees strikes a balance between safety and usability for everyday tasks. It is important to adhere to this guideline for both health and safety reasons in plumbing practices.
