Abstract
A mixing valve assembly is disclosed. The mixing valve assembly can include a cold water connector, a hot water connector, an electronic valve system, and a tube. The cold water connector can have a through-hole configured to slideably receive at least a portion of a first tubular portion of a cold water inlet, and the hot water connector can have a through-hole configured to slideably receive at least a portion of a second tubular portion of a hot water outlet. The electronic valve system can be configured to transition a valve between an open configuration and a closed configuration such that cold water can be selectively permitted to flow from the cold water connector to the hot water connector. The mixing valve assembly can be configured to selectively permit cold water to bypass the tank of water heater.
