Can I use it for hot water, right after the water heater?

No it's only to be used at an outdoor faucet to regulate the water pressure.

Not sure how this regulator would function in hot water. It is designed to regulate water pressure at the inlet (cold side). Regulating the pressure after the hot water heater may place high (unregulated) pressure on the heat tubes, especially if corrosion is present.

Not sure about hooking up in line with the hot water heater. I use this to regulate water pressure from outside tap to our RV. These are common valves. I would check with Home Depot/Lowes plumbing.

Yes you can. I use this but I also purchased the separate relay. This tells my furnace when the fan kicks on so it calls for the water.

You may be able to as the plastic seems durable, however I don't believe this item is the best choice for continually putting hot water in.

The manufacturer states it ca be used as a booster to the existing hot water supply. Hope this helps.

Yes, you can however we returned ours after the hot water failed within a week.

No. The connection is directly to the line and you would have hot water on demand. I have this installed in a cabin that I built and so far works great.

Hello,You should get a least a good 10 minutes before waiting for more hot water. We have not heard any complains regarding time usage of hot water. Thank you

You usually plumb it into a return hot water line just before it is tied back into the bottom of the water heater

Yes. It will give you hot water faster. But be aware, when your existing hot water reaches the tank, it will be REALLY hot!

Not sure how you would hook up a garden hose (which is what you need to do) and funnel hot water through that, so I'd have to say, NO, cannot be used with hot water.

I use this one in my kitchen sink for cold drinking water, I don't think it can be used for hot water as well. You may call or contact 3M first before you buy it! Good luck!!

I leave mine full all the time, so I have instant hot water. It would be pointless to have to wait for 5 liters of water to heat.

Yes you can. I do that most of the time. It cleans very well with just the hot steam.

you could hook it up to the cold water inlet instead of the hot water if you don't want to sacrifice any hot water from your main water heater. But be aware when you've used up all the hot water in this small tank its going to be a while before you'll get hot water again. if you plan to use large flows of hot water, I'd suggest you not do this. The hot water use for a normal bath sink is typically minimal.

I don't believe you are supposed to as it will shorten the life of the filter. If you do, be sure to run cold water immediately after so as not to provide a nice environment for bacteria, algae, etc.

yes you may. many install between heater and shutoff to prevent over-pressurization in the rare case your shut off at the heater is closed.... very rare. Anywhere between heater and Presure regulating valve is OK

No, it is not designed for hot water. The filter will fail and may cause damage to your washer.
