At 1 gallon a minute (1 GPM) based on a cold water temperature of 60 degrees all of our tankless water heaters would be at 120 degrees or higher. Keep in mind the average temperature for washing hands and taking a shower or bath is between 95 & 105 degrees. With the average faucet producing 1.5 gallons per minute when using newer type faucets made within the last 10 years. The lower the gallons per minute the higher the hot water temperature settings can be. Scalding can occur with higher temperatures!
