What is the function of the upper thermostat in a water heater and how does it contribute to regulating the temperature of the water in the tank?

The upper thermostat in a water heater helps to monitor and control the temperature of the water in the tank. It works in conjunction with the lower thermostat to ensure that the water is heated to the desired temperature and maintained at a consistent level. The upper thermostat is responsible for turning off the heating element once the water reaches the set temperature, preventing overheating and ensuring that the water remains at a safe and comfortable temperature for use.

It matters if it has ac or not. If it is a non ac vehicle, the hoses and coolant flow from the fitting close to the thermostat housing to the lower heater core tube, then out the upper heater core tube to the fitting on the water pump. If it has ac, the hose from the upper heater core tube connects to the fitting on the radiator.
