1. On this type setup, there should be a Brass Check valve at the top hot water exit fitting. I will bet, you installed them in reverse.  O)n your set up with the 1 valve. When you bypass, the cold water stops at the valve goes up that short pipe and then feeds the downstream Hot water faucet valves. IF you did not install the check valve in the upper Hot water exit on the heater, you are mixing hot and cold. Verify that the check valve is at the top hot exit of the water heater. Are you positive you installed the Check valves correctly? You can reverse them. The ARROW on the check valve at the hot exit should point away from the water heater. Doug
