You might want to get one of those "Y" connectors to tie them together so you can have a good "warm" mix.

Yeah, I seldom see such setups unless they were specifically asked for. I'm so used to having both hot and cold water in the shop that I have to remind myself that not everybody has that.

I wonder if they were more common in the past...my father's (pre-WWII construstion) house had them and so do a few of his friends' places that were built around the same time. Growing up with setups like that, you can bet I specified them for my garage
