Zone valve is used to open in hot water heat?
A zone valve is actuated by a thermostat and will allow water to pass from the boiler to radiant floor piping or base board radiators or in some cases a hot water storage tank.
Does the boiler heat the water at first then supply it to the hot water tank?
No, a hot water tank heats water by itself.
How do you get water out of a gas tank?
You can use a fuel tank additive called "Heet." Basically, Heet is a type of alcohol which mixes with the water in your tank and allows your engine to burn it. Depnending on the amount of water the tank could need removed or drained.
How many lbs of pressure in a water tank?
Static or pressurized tank?
How long does it take to heat water in a hot water tank?
If you just filled the tank on a 40 gal. about 30 to 45 min.
What is the water pressure from an overhead tank?
That depends on the extra height of your tank, its capacity and the bore of your piping.
With a closed sewage system is it okay to use smaller diameter piping due to lack of angle on the piping to the sewage tank?
yes it will be fine

What are different ways to clear water line clogs?
Even if you have a very high mineral content there should not be enough buildup in a water line, it will be at the hot water tank and the fixtures. If it is the water line replace with pex, it is very cheap and better than copper. Although i agree with the statement above to a certain degree. This is open to opinion, Copper carries every bureau of compliance requirements where as pex does not even have one. Most insurance companies will only insure you with copper piping or galvanised piping as pex piping is not recognised.
Water temp and elements for hot water heater seem fine. Why is water heater discharging water through pressure valve usually after extended hot water use?
One possible reason for the temperature/pressure (tp) valve to start leaking may be from expansion of the water as it is being heated if there are check valves in the water system this is sometimes the culprit .In most water systems there is plenty of room for expansion in the distribution piping and service line and private well systems have a pressure tank that can absorb the expansion. You may have to add a small expansion tank to the water piping at the heater to solve this problem. hope this helps. Bob
Can you connect CPVC piping to the Hot Water inlet line of a Hot Water tank?
There is no hot water inlet in a water heater. There is a cold inlet and a hot outlet. Yes it can be connected to the hot outlet depending on the jurisdiction. Check the plumbing codes in your area to be sure.
Where is hot water tank located in home?
There are a number of factors that determine where the plumbing contractor decides to install it. If it is a gas heater, it needs to be located where it can be vented to the outside. Typically the heater should be as centrally located as possible to facilitate hot water getting to all of the fixtures it is attached to. They will attempt to minimize the length of the piping runs. Takes less piping and less work to install.
How do you backflush a dry hydrant?
A dry hydrant is backflushed after a suction hose connection is made to a fire department pumper. The backflushing occurs when the pump operator opens the water tank valve. This will allow tank water from the pumper to flow through the suction hose into the dry hydrant piping and strainer. This process allows dirt and debris from the water source that has collected in the dry hydrant strainer and pipe to be removed.
Is the pressure relief valve on a water heater is required by code to prevent an explosion should the tank overheat?
Yes and is supposed to be piped close to the floor. T&P piping needs ran down to within 6" of floor.
How do you turn down the temp of your oil heated hot water?
It would depend on how the water was heated. Tankless Coil, there should be a valve on the side of the coil, that has a knob on top, that is your mixing valve and should be used to adjust water temp. Indirect Hot Water Tank, it is connected to boiler through piping, but does not have it's own burner...should have a box on it, (aquastat), that will adjust the temp of your hot water, likewise with a Direct Fired Hot Water Tank, which is the same as mentioned above, but with it's own oil burner.
How can you increase water pressure from a well?
Simply increase the height of the tank as the pressure is a constant (.434) times the height, or approximately 1/2 PSI per foot.
Why do you need to have a water tank?
If water doesn't go into the pressure tank you will not have water pressure.
