Our Hot Water Tools™ keep your Customers in hot water.

Most of the Rules around hot water systems relate to safety & risk about
  • fire
  • gas
  • hot water scalds
  • electrocution.
Our Tools™ also show you all the critical dimensions plus the ‘jargon’ and Rules we all should know:
  • Flue Outlet
  • always installed outdoors
  • accessible without ladder – ideally 1.5m from ground to Flue Outlet
  • 500mm minimum from any structure
And we have linked lots of other key intel about gas installations eg:
  • fan assisted heaters
  • gas meters.
Couple of other tips. I always insulate ALL hot water pipe to fittings to ensure optimal efficiency. And PLEASE check the corrosion resistance of everything about the tank & fittings – especially if the job is within 500m of the sea.
