Plumbing a hot-water loop The first and simplest method is installing a small pump on the hot-water line at the point of use farthest from the water heater, usually a bathroom sink or shower. The discharge on the pump is connected to a check valve, which keeps cold water from running back into the hot-water line, and then to the cold-water line.

How to Install a Shower Head Neck As far as showers are concerned, the head is connected to the arm. Because the fixture that sprays shower water is called a shower head, it seems to make anatomical sense to call the pipe that connects it to the water supply the neck..

- One end of this tube attaches to the pressure switch sensing port, the other end attaches to a pressure sensing port somewhere on the water heater, IE: the vent system, blower assembly. A flexible diaphragm divides the body of the switch into two air chambers. The sensing port is attached to one air chamber. The other air chamber is vented to the atmosphere which allows the diaphragm to move. Internal linkage attaches the switch contacts to the diaphragm; with sufficient pressure applied, diaphragm movement will activate the switch contacts.
