Passing my heater this morning, I grabbed the inlet and the outlet pipes on
the water tank to see the temperature differential. They were both hot.
There is a valid reason for this. I'll post the answer later for anyone that
cannot figure it out.

The hot water is flowing backwards because the tank was mounted upside
down.

You need the unions or maybe they are couplings that insulate on both
pipes at the tank, I think.

I give....
cuz water heater is completely filled with hot water?
And the heat from the water conducts out through both the hot & cold
piping?
