A landlord must repair a condition if a tenant gives notice of a condition, the tenant is not delinquent in rent payment, and the condition materially affects health or safety of the tenant or is due to the landlord’s failure to supply hot water at a minimum temperature of 120 degrees Fahrenheit.

My 10 year old daughter took that pick while we were feeding our livestock on a -40 degree fahrenheit morning in North Dakota.

Dwellings shall be provided with heating facilities capable of maintaining a room temperature of sixty-five degrees (65°) Fahrenheit in all habitable rooms, bathrooms, and toilet rooms based on a winter outdoor design temperature of fourteen degrees (14°) Fahrenheit, in accordance with Appendix D of the 2000 Edition of the Standard Plumbing Code.

Part of the code which outlines the temperatures requirements:“There shall be supplied water heating facilities which are properly installed, are maintained in safe and good working condition, are properly connected with the hot water lines required under Subsection C of this section and are capable of supplying water at a minimum temperature of not less than 120 degrees Fahrenheit (120° F) and at a maximum temperature of not more than 140 degrees Fahrenheit (140° F) at all times to each hot water outlet.”https://library.municode.com/n...

Set it so that the hot water temperature is slightly below or at 120 degrees Fahrenheit; if the temperature is higher than that initially, you may have to empty the tank a bit for the heater to kick in again as you are making adjustments.

PEX is about 45% of the market and CPVC about 16% of the market.PEX and CPVC can handle higher temps (up to 180-200 degrees Fahrenheit) than regular PVC.

But it's kind of like one percentage is expressed in Fahrenheit while the other is expressed in Celsius.

To wit, this occurred in thesummer months when the temperatures were more than 90 degrees Fahrenheit.

The temperature is 40 degrees Fahrenheit out there and I am worried what would happen if the temperature drops below 20 degrees.
