Ken,
That would be the best way to install the valve, then all hot water outlets are protected. We bought a park-model here in Tucson and they have a19 gallon HW tank and in order to stretch the hot water time for showers we now run the tank temp at 160 and then thru a anti scald valve to keep the temp at about 110 F. Much safer, valve fails in the cold position.

I used this valve from McMaster-Carr, it is a 3/4” valve, but they offer a 1/2” that will work well. I personally am not comfortable with the made in China stuff.

The part number is 1184N2 and it is more expensive, but I would trust it more.

The McMasterCarr site is down as of now, will check later.
