ABSTRACT:
An inlet is provided for delivering water into a water heater through a port in its top. The inlet includes a conduit having a distal portion that extends downwardly toward a bottom of the water heater. The inlet includes means for deflecting the water flow through openings in the inlet's wall in order to reduce the generation of temperature gradients that otherwise tend to develop within water heater tanks. A water heater assembly including such an inlet is also described.
