Ideal for one bathroom homes (or up to two in warmer climates), the Rinnai B20 hot water unit only heats water as needed. With an impressive 6 star energy … Read more
The Pressure Temperature Relief (PTR) valve is a key safety feature that protects the hot water system from excessive pressure and temperature levels inside the tank. If the water pressure or temperature inside the hot water unit exceeds the threshold, the valve will open to release water and steam. This relieves pressure and reduces the … Read more
The gas burner assembly provides the heat needed to rapidly warm the water as it flows through the system, ensuring hot water on demand without the need for storage tanks. Here’s what it does: Ignition: When hot water is required, the unit detects the water flow, and the gas burner assembly ignites. This can happen … Read more
