The 'output' temp from mixing valve can be adjusted.........BUT the red knob has been 'tamper proofed'\\\\\\\ At least they use to by putting glue inside screw.
Under the knob are two sets of splines........large fixed ones on bottom and smaller ones on valve stem. Knob glued down engages large fixed splines making it non-adjustable.
Counter-clockwise 'warmer' will increase output temp.........CAUTION. Temp of water in WH tank should be 160*F (going into mixing valve)
Output temp should be 130*F (into hot water system) which is then mixed with cold water at faucet/shower (just like home....straight hot water should not be used due to possible scalding)
