can this be used on a hot water baseboard system? I probably have to install at each heating zone valve as hammer happens when zone closes.

I am not sure. This is probably a question for the manufacturer. However, I am venturing to guess "No" because this device has garden hose connection. It is probably meant for the washer only.

There can be. The main reasons for the valves is to bring heated water to the furthestmost point of use in a system. If your plumbing system has two or more branches of hot water plumbing that are long runs then yes it could be an advantage so that hot water would be at each end of a branch. I hope that answere your question

Sorry, I can not answer this question. I would contact a heating specialist.

We used a mixed hot and cold. No problem. The plastic is pretty heavy duty and I think you will have no problems with running hot water.

I would not suggest it. Few things. 1.) There are three heating "silos" within the unit one for each breaker. So one "silos" wouldn't be doing anything unless you got fancy with the wiring. 2.) I think the device uses only as many breakers as it needs, so if the water is unusually warm I can see it only pulling power from one breaker until it hits the set temperature. If the water is unusually cold it will pull from all three until it hits the set temperature. 3.) I do not believe the wiring within the unit is rated for 6-2 so you would probably mess something up.

I am using one of these with an Intertherm electric hot water baseboard heater. I am also using one for electric forced hot air heaters. It works great for both applications.

Too many unknowns to answer directly, could be anything from valve not opened fully to sediment knocked loos and lodging in your faucets. The unit itself should not appreciably affect water pressure; in spite of differences in heating mechanism, it is still just a water-in-water-out canister.

Not a recommended application. It is not designed for that type of thermal load demand, thus a possible safety and economy issue. Recommend researching other types of water heater devices such as pumps used for heating vehicle engines, or larger capacity thermal heaters. Good luck with your project.

You have to install a 1/2" threaded copper fitting on the hot and cold water line and it should protrude from the wall about a 1/2". This means eliminating the mixing valve that is currently installed in your shower wall. This is easier said than done and you must measure the shower tower to place the copper connectors at the correct height. So you will need all of the tools for sweating and cutting copper and tools for tile work.

Yes, I'm running an oil fired boiler with 2 zone recirculators to hot water baseboards. I have 2 of the FocusPro5000 thermostats, one for each zone. They seem to be working ok, been installed about 2 months now. I am mad of the deceptive description of the AC and battery power option on the FocusPro 5000, you cannot power this thing with 24V AC with a 2-wire thermostat system.

If you have traditional plumbing, where your hot and cold enter into a single valve, behind the wall, and then a pipe goes up the wall from the shower head, you would have to ct a hole in the wall to acccess those two water supply lines, add elbows so they protrude through the wall, add a male threaded pipe so you can screw the two water supply hoses from the back of this unit onto those. This is a surface mount system so we installed wood horizontal boards in the wall behind the new shower unit before we installed it. It is a nice additin, but veryy "cheap" alluminum. Mine had a ding in it, but I dd not want to hassel to return it. Sorry for the typos...my key board is dying!!!! yikes. hope this helps.

Not absolutely sure but I would say no. I use it for baseboard heating units. Check the manual for the Honeywell unit and be sure before you purchase.

Yes, use a wall thermostate the you would use with a electric baseboard heater.

I used it on standing water pipe outdoors. Not to be used on hot water lines. Used zip ties to secure.

That's exactly what I'm using mine for. I hooked it to the hot water line below my sink and have instant hot water. The cold water in the line that used to run for about a minute out of my spout mixes with the water in the unit so that I never get cool water when running the hot water side of my faucet.

Not a code guy, but as I understand it, it can be anywhere in the system as long as there are no valves between it and the hot water heater (except, I assumed, an isolation valve for replacement purposes).

That sound sort of dangerous...i looked it up on the insinkerator doctor and it wasn't really a "question" though it did say that over hot water could lead to spitting and spouting of water. Perhaps turn it down a little and call insinkerator if that doesn't work.
