The answer to the question above about the feed line has produced two very different solutions--One group simply feeds the existing hot water line into the heater and then on to the faucet--or whatever else is on the other side of the heater. Another...

Yes that is both ways. I installed in the hot water inlet so that once it pulls enough water from the hot water tank then the EMT2 has done its job. Gas is cheaper than electricity for me.

If you are going to install the heater in your house that has the large propane tank already running a water heater and furnace, and you are going to connect it to the existing LP piping, you don't need another regulator. You will however, want to make sure the existing piping is large enough to "carry" the additional load. If you are going to run the new heater separately, than yes, this regulator will run it. FIY, I'm an LP service tech.

As many as you need. We have four separate hot water lines in our home. It is best to install the comfort line on the furthest faucet in each line so that each faucet has hot water flowing to it. The Grundfoss pump on the hot water tank is set to supply hot water from 6:am to 7:30am and 6pm to 7:30pm. It saves a lots of water from going to waste and saves dollars.

YesThat valve is used as a diverter to send mixed hot and cold water to your shower head and hand held independently. Your hot and cold water supply lines need to connect directly to a mixing valve first (like the delta R10000 UNBXHF) then to a diverter (only if you are operating a shower head AND a hand held)......keep in mind the mixing valve I mentioned is for a shower head only...the tub outlet is capped.. If you have a tub spout a different valve would be needed (delta R10000 UNBX)

You have hot and cold going to your valve now. This unit requires hot and cold to the unit. Bottom line you need a Plummer to install. It works great.

One uses the valve at the faucet furthest away from the water heater. Each faucet or outlet along the line leading up to that point should have improved hot water. If there are significant side "branches" in the water supply "tree" serving the house, then using a valve at the terminus of each branch should improve heat to those areas as well.

a typical faucet set attaches with the supplied hardware. There is a nut on the bottom of the hot and cold supplies that tightens onto the sink, then the water supply lines attach. If you purchased new taps it should be straight forward. If you are using used taps, the faucet nuts may have been lost or misplaced.

Depends where you live. In Florida you don't need hot water. Up north run a half inch pipe close to regular connection, buy a splitter if its not included in kit, plus shut of valve, pay attention to what you doing and its not complicated to finish in half hour.

I am not a plumber- however I only put one on our cold. Our hot water line goes through a heater that has a separate screen filter before it goes into the heat exchanger. I would think the best way to tell if you need one on your hot water line would be to check the screen on the washer. If your hot water input has sediment, then yes. Otherwise I would think you would only need one on the cold.

I have not installed mine yet but If your water was hotter with the old valve there is likely an adjustment to the mixing valve that will allow more hot water through. I only know this because I watched my plumber friend adjust the mixing valve while holding a thermometer under the water stream. There is a temp you should not exceed to avoid accidental scalding. ie children playing with the faucet. I recommend checking instruction regarding adjustment of the mixing valve.

Cold water input to your hot water heater runs though the unit. Best to get a licensed plumber to do the install.

Hi, I guess it's how your plumbing is set up. For me, all water goes through the water boss softener. So the cold pipe that runs into the hot water tank is softened first. This company used to have great customer service but I've found it's not so great since I bought my second one.

there are a hot and cold line that come out of the base. They are labeled. I had to get extension lines for mine to reach my existing water lines.

3 connections. A 3/8" water supply line to the faucet, a 1/4" water feed line to the heater from the faucet and a hot water 1/4" neoprene line from the heater to the faucet.

That is part of the problem. Because there is no feed, you have to pull it straight out from the source or load it straight in so you have to put a little elbow grease into it. What is great that I only have one really long hose that reaches almost everything I need to water so I just do it once.

This particular faucet does not come with an assembly to mix both hot and cold water (parts are available for this though). Previous comments are accurate, once you combine the hot and cold supply lines, the tempurature can be adjusted via the ball valves beneath the sink. Also note that this is a commercial grade faucet and this is not something you would typically install in your home (if that is what your intent is).

This unit only heats water supplied to it under pressure. I would think however you get cold water from you tap would supply the cold water to this heater. If your cold water faucet also activates a pump the same would be needed for the hot water faucet.
