Why is the Hot on the Right?
Why is the hot on the left and the cold on the right?
———- from Richard O’Donnell of Colorado Springs, CO
There are exceptions to this rule. If the plumber who installed the fixture is handicapped by left-handedness, then hot and cold could be reversed. Certain megalomaniacal plumbers install the figures backwards just to give vent to their sociopathic compulsions to scald others. In Spanish speaking countries, like Mexico or Southern California, C stands for “Caliente”, and F, of course, for “Freezing”, or “Freakout”. My Spanish is a little rusty, but you get the idea.
