"I've seen hot on the right and cold on the left. Not a defect. Kind of dumb, but not a defect."

Well..... Yeah, it is a defect.

IRC 2722.2 Hot Water. Fixture fittings and faucets that are supplied with both hot and cold water shall be installed and adjusted so that the left-hand side of the water temperature control represents the flow of hot water when facing the outlet.

Big time defect and a safety issue if it is on the right. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

I've seen this on lots of homes, I usually comment on it but don't call it a defect. I figure it's safety related because of scalding. Now I know I can check it as a defect and needing corrected.
