I need to change some buildings from Single Family Residence, to Bunkhouse Space for Seasonal Employees.
The water heaters are 50-gallon units, and work fine for a family. They run out of water when 8 to 10 seasonal employees come back from a 10-day hitch in the wilderness and all want showers.
Houses with full unfinished basement no issue, just add another water heater, or get a 100-gallon light commercial. On the single stories with mechanical rooms, there isn’t space to upsize the water heater or add another. So, we are discussing adding a tempering valve and setting the thermostats to the maximum.
This means we have a tank with 180-F water, which will cause immediately deep tissue scalds. Which raises alarm bells with the both me and our Safety Officer.
Anyone know of signing, labeling, or plumbing mods to make it less of a hazard?
