Actually, my water comes out at 138F. Which is exactly the perfect temp to
run all of my plumbing needs with the number of people in the house. I do
not consider anything a real scalding risk until it gets a little higher in
temp. I just wanted something that would keep the water at 120F or so, at
just that ONE place.

Personally, I do not like setting the water heater down on 120F. I bought
the house, I bought the heater, and damn it, I'm going to take my hot
showers...

I have heard of an anti-scalding device that can just screw into a
kitchen
faucet. If this device exist, I could use it. Does anyone know of a web
source where I could perhaps find one?

I see someone has already suggested turning down the water heater. For
what purpose do you need to maintain water that is hot enough to
scald? You mention a kitchen faucet, which suggests either dish- or
handwashing to me. Of course it's nice to have a near-boiling water
spigot for coffee and instant soup, but those are usually add-ons, not
OE.
