The thermometer shall be so located that it shall always indicate the temperature of the water in the water heater at or near the outlet; and (4) Flow-sensing device: potable water heaters requiring forced circulation to prevent overheating of the tubes, coils, or vessel should have an acceptable flow-sensing device or temperature-sensing device to prevent burner operation at a flow rate inadequate to protect the water heater unit against overheating at all allowable firing rates. This safety controls shall shut down the burner and prevent restarting until an adequate flow is restored and shall be independent of all other controls.
