Hi Paul,

The water tubing is actually not marine tubing – it's used in homes for domestic hot water and for radiant floor heating, both of which can be hotter than 140 degrees. The fittings, however, should be replaced whenever you break one (the plastic ones, not the metal ones). Typically, I've replaced 50% of mine and out of those, more than half had the metal ring in backwards…

I see that Force 10 has a TCV available for their units that re-directs the engine coolant once the water temperature is 140F. Have these typically been installed with a new heater. While I assume that you want to get as much free hot water as you can, I was wondering if the temperature can get to hot when you motor all day for that plastic tubing that Pearson installed for the water lines.

Thanks,
Paul
