Gas on beg - Ecotemp water heater

[David M]

Not sure how much help I'll be as I'm not that familiar. I believe there is some sort of ring that is positioned according to temp and this affects the hot/cold combination. I wasn't aware of this until plumber told me. I prefer the old fashion type controls. We set out H/W at the 120 setting, that allows a higher ration of hot to cold reducing the chance of low demand for hot causing the heater to cut old. The paperwork that came with the faucet should describe how to set. Probably any handyman could do so reasonably. To me part of the house being "done" is the electricial makes sure all the fixtures and circuits he installed are functional. The plumber makes sure all the fixtures/appliances/lines/drains that he installed are functional and properly adjusted - just part of what he was paid to do. Sometimes one is dependent on the other, but that is no excuse. My electrician finished before the plumber so couldn't test the whirlpool tub, but when I notified him it didn't work, he fixed it without hassle (a neutral wire problem). When a plumbing leak developed that I felt was related to installation, I didn't fix it myself, my plumber returned and fixed and thanked me because it highlighted something he needed to address with his crew.

IMHO, final inspection has nothing to do with it. Your contractor should make sure the house passes YOUR final inspection before he gets final payment.
