An inlet (10) for a water heater is provided for delivering water into a water heater through a port. The inlet includes a conduit (12) having a distal portion that extends downwardly toward a bottom of the water heater. The inlet (10) includes means for deflecting the water flow through openings in the inlet in order to reduce or remove temperature gradients in the water. A water heater assembly including such an inlet (10) is also described; its water inflow extends toward a bottom of the water heater and the inlet includes means for deflecting the water flow in order to reduce the temperature gradients. <IMAGE> |
