: My husband installed out new water heater but the highest temperature the water that is coming out of the pipes is 120 degrees and he has the heater above the maximum tempurature which is 160. Nothing is leaking and the pipes are connected right. We have Gas heat the pilot light is on. What is your suggestion?take a look at owners packet that came with heater many new heater thermostates will not allow water above 120. if it is 120 throughout house this is probably the case. until you determine your problem leave thermo. set at a safer(lower) temp. than 160.
