Do I need remove the pipe isolation to install, or can install over the outside pipe isolation. Thanks

...These magnets are strlong, but the further away from the water...the less effective they will be.

I would remove the insulation to install and then put insulation back on top of it.

If you are referring to pipe insulation like thick fiberglass than you should remove a 4" section which is small. If the insulation is thin like 1/4" than no, the unit will work fine without removing anything. The units are powerful and will project magnetic waves through all materials. Hope that helps.

the strength of the magnetic field is lessened the further away the magnets are from one another. 1/4 inch insulation means that the magnets are 1/2 inch further apart than without the insulation barrier. The magnetic field will penetrate any type of insulation, the weakening factor is the distance between the magnets. This would all be important if this device actually did anything. Since it doesn't, you can put the magnets on different sides of the house and they will be just as effective as placing them on the bare pipe. ;)

WaveYou would need to connect hot and cold females to your existing pipes.You don't need an access panel.

Yes, I have mine installed outside. It's a hard plastic shell with a metal bracket to attach to the wall. It's a very heavy duty system. Make sure to get the unit with the 1 inch outlets as it will not affect your water pressure at all. Overall I'm pleased with the units.

first attach pipe to the tank side before you do any other fitting-- this is key to sucess

The venting is very important for the operation of this equipment. It must be mounted near an outside wall, and the distance needed to run the vent pipe is dependent on how many bends, etc. It is NOT included with the water heater and must be purchased separately. Amazon carries the vent piping that would work with this unit. I would check the owner's manual for the unit to see a better description of venting requirements.

Not sure. I added the separate piping and check valve and made for a "cleaner" installation. It might depend on the space you have available but if you cut the PVC to accomodate only one check valve and your not happy, you will have to redo everything.

Hello It took me around 30 minutes to install --- and have not had a problem with it yet --Yes - it did reduced the noise through my house !!! I would buy it in a minute if I had to Installing - Be aware that you need to glue (Plastic Pipe Glue) a small piece of pipe to the value, top and bottom, I needed this to connect it to my rubber extenstions on my copper pipes. it was like 6-8 inches of piope to both sides

I am not sure about it. I install mine in the standing shower onto the overhead pipe.

I had a similar installation. I used two 15 degree angle sections - plus a four foot section in between - and ran the pipe out beyond the overhang. It was a slate roof.

You need to loosen the connectors and insert the new valve. If there are no connectors you will have to cut the pipe and put in a union. Not a big job.

Are you asking if you have to adjust the computer after installing this kit yes if you got after market pipes .. you will still run lean if all you do is install the breather kit but not enough to cause immediate damage but you need to do it asap

Sorry I can't help with this question. I installed this when I was doing my bath remodel and the installers made some mods to my exhaust (my condo is 30 years old), and I wasn't home when they did it.

If you already have a shower pipe sticking out from the wall you should not need anything else. I would say try it with and without the flow restrictor in place to see what works best before permanently mounting. You would use the existing hot/cold valve(s) to control temperature. This unit just allows you to chose between the fixed or hand-held shower head or a combination of both.

Not if there is a crossover between the pipes. It needs an exhaust that can build pressure.

Pairs. Not to difficult to install. My Big Shots had straight pipes. No baffles. I went with the quiet baffles. Made a huge difference. But they are still loud.

The pipe is concentric with both intake and exhaust. If you had to you could fabricate something that would work. I doubt it would pass inspection without a lot of paperwork. If you decide to do it make sure to include slope in the pipe because there will be condensation. Either up or down slope will work.

The unit is designed for outdoor use. It has intake and exhaust built in. So you do not need additional venting.
