So could you just plug the one line put in a check valve and use more cold water at the tap and save some time and money??
One COULD do away with the mixing valve........
BUT you would need to install a check valve in hot out...better yet install a shut-off valve in hot outlet line.
AND change the t-stat.
The water heaters with mixing valves use a 160*F t-stat.
Normal t-stats are 140*F
Atwood does have an adjustable t-stat (110*-150*F)
