This is to allow for expansion of the hot water-- otherwise the cylinder would blow up.
Hot water barely comes out of faucet cold water works fine how do i fix?
If shut off the hot water valve then you take off your supply line from your hot water valve to your faucet and then turn your hot water valve on slowly (with of course a bucket or something to collect the water under it) and if you can see you have water pressure and flow then most likely the problem would be in your faucet on the hot side. If you have no pressure or flow when you turn the hot valve on then it could be debris plugging your hot water pipe or your hot water service valve (angle stop, straight stop) which older galvanized pipes are known to do so. To fix the problem you would need to find out where the problem is then either fix or replace the faucet or replace the angle/straight stop or try back flushing the hot water pipe and or replace the pipe with pex or copper pipe.
Why does it take 90 seconds to get hot water from tank to faucet?
That's just how long it takes to get the water that is sitting in the pipe out. Unless you have a circulating pump on the line so that there is always hot water at the faucet, it always takes a bit of time for the water to get hot. The hot water is in the tank, not the pipe connecting it to the faucet. There is nothing in the pipe to keep the water hot.

Why is my hot water pipe frozen, even though it is not cold?
Your hot water pipe may be frozen due to a lack of insulation or exposure to cold temperatures in unheated areas of your home. Even though the water inside the pipe is hot, if the surrounding environment is cold enough, the pipe can still freeze.

Do you need special PVC cement for hot water lines?
There is no special PVC pipe. CPVC can be used for hot water applications or in my opinion just use PEX pipe.
How does a hot water pipe jacket work?
A hot water pipe jacket is a special insulation sleeve that wraps around a hot water pipe to help retain the heat within the pipe and prevent heat loss. It acts as a barrier to minimize energy wastage and reduce the amount of hot water needed to maintain the desired temperature in the system. By insulating the pipe, the jacket promotes energy efficiency and can help lower heating costs.
