It%26#039;s difficult to put an exact temperature at which water will cause physical damage. Above about 60oC water becomes uncomfortably hot, and you will want to remove your hand (or foot or whatever) from it quite quickly, but it will not cause any medium term damage. At the boiling point, 100oC, water will scald quickly, producing the usual large blisters. Even then, it%26#039;s rarely fatal except for cases of extensive scalding or for very young or very old people. However, it is painful and can cause scarring.
Most domestic boilers contain internal controls to prevent the production of water at a temperature which could be dangerous, apart from the control on the front of the boiler which allows you to set the water temperature for the central heating. If these are not functioning correctly I%26#039;d suggest you get a (Corgi) engineer in fairly promptly.|||Hmm, I think that is left up to experiment considering some of us have thicker skin than others.
I would strongly recommend that you don%26#039;t experiment however.
It also depends on the source of the heat.|||Around 120 F.|||160 celcius
