Reduced Pressure assemblies are used to protect against high hazard (toxic) fluids in water services to industrial plants, hospitals, morgues, mortuaries, and chemical plants. They are also used in irrigation systems, boiler feed, water lines and other installations requiring maximum protection. They feature a bronze body and threaded ball valve shutoffs. Maximum Working Pressure: 175psi (12.1 bar). The reduced pressure zone assembly shall consist of two independently operating, spring loaded, "Y" pattern check valves and one hydraulically dependent differential relief valve. The assembly shall automatically reduce the pressure in the "zone" between the check valves to at least 5psi lower than inlet pressure. Should the differential between the upstream and the zone of the unit drop to 2psi, the differential relief valve shall open and maintain the proper differential. Mainline valve body and caps including relief valve body and cover shall be bronze. Check valve moving member shall be center stem guided. All hydraulic sensing passages shall be internally located within the mainline and relief valve bodies and relief valve cover. Diaphragm to seat area ratio shall be 10:1 minimum. Relief valve shall have a removable seat ring. Check valve and relief valve components shall be constructed so they may be serviced without removing the valve body from the line. All seat discs shall be reversible. Shutoff valves and test cocks shall be full ported ball valves. Specifications

Tankless water heaters like those from Eccotemp rely on gas or electric connections for operation. Electric water heaters feature an element that heats the water as it passes over it. Gas water heaters have a burner that heats the water to the desired temperature. There are also propane-powered water heaters that are ideal for RVs and other outdoor areas. Both gas and electric water heaters use up to 30-percent less energy than a traditional collection tank model. You'll also need to place your tankless water heater in an area where you can add ventilation for proper functioning.

Tankless water heaters eliminate the large, bulky storage tanks and replace them with on-demand hot water. When you turn on a hot water tap or start a load of laundry, tankless models heat the water as it passes through the system. Tankless water heaters provide consistent temperatures, though like collection-tank heaters they can run out of hot water under heavy usage conditions.

When choosing a water heater, you have to consider the size of your family and the installation location. Measure where you want to place the unit so you know it fits to avoid additional work later. For households with up to two people, a 23- to 36-gallon water heater will work. Choose a 36- to 46-gallon model for families of four and a 46- to 56-gallon tank for a five-person household to meet daily needs. You can also install more than one tankless water heater in your home for optimal results during high-demand usage.

Whether adding new appliances or updating your plumbing for a home improvement project, water heaters are an important consideration. Sam's Club® carries tankless water heaters that maximize efficiency without breaking your budget.
