A low water sensor testing device having an initial piping unit connected to a hot water boiler and also connected to a first three way purge valve unit, which valve unit is, in turn, connected to a T-shaped piping unit and affixed within the stem portion of which there is a low water level sensor unit with the T-shaped piping unit being further connected to a second three way purge valve unit, wholly equivalent to the first valve unit, with the second valve unit being connected to an adapter unit, in turn, also connected to outflow piping carrying boiler heated water via outflow piping to the heating system of a residential or commercial structure.

A tankless water heater (TWH) isolation valve includes a valve body having a plug valve port, a TWH port, a water distribution system port and a drain port. A plug valve includes at least one plug seal. The plug valve is controlled by a rotatable plug valve handle. The plug valve is disposed through the plug valve port and within the valve body. The rotatable plug valve handle includes a first plug valve handle position and a different rotated second plug valve handle position. In a normal operating mode in the first plug valve handle position, the TWH port is fluidly coupled to both of the drain port and the water system distribution port. In a drain mode, the TWH port is fluidly coupled to the drain port, and the water system distribution port is closed to the TWH port as blocked by the plug seal.

A radiator bleeding assembly includes a receiver for receiving a housing of a bleeder valve. The receiver includes a perimeter wall having a first end and a second end. The first end is open and has a size and shape to receive the housing. A hose is attached to the second end and is in fluid communication with the first end to receive any fluid ejected by the bleeder valve. A valve actuator is mounted on the receive. The valve actuator opens the bleeder valve when the valve actuator is actuated.

A radiator containment bag includes a bag section configured as a container and sized and shaped so that in use at least the lower end of a radiator fits within and is retained by the bag section. The bag section is formed at least partly from a waterproof material so that liquid in the bag section will be retained within the bag section. At least one containment strap is connected to the bag section and is configured to pass over and around the top of a radiator located in the bag section in use to hold the radiator in the bag section. A plurality of grab handles extends from the bag section and are configured to allow a user or users to grasp the handles to lift the

A combustion device may include a casing including a bottom plate, a combustion unit housed in the casing, and a fan housed in the casing and configured to take in air inside the casing and supply the air to the combustion unit. The bottom plate may be provided with a flat portion and a recess recessed downward from the flat portion. The recess may be provided with a drainage hole and an eave arranged above the drainage hole. The drainage hole may be located below an upper surface of the flat portion. The eave may be at least partially located below the upper surface of the flat portion.

A water heater including a cabinet having an inlet, an outlet, and a flow path disposed between the inlet and the outlet and having a plurality of upper and lower junctions to redirect the flow path. Each lower junction includes a drain port. A flow rate sensor measures the flow rate of the fluid through the flow path, an inlet temperature sensor measures an inlet temperature, an and outlet temperature sensor measures the outlet temperature. Heating elements are disposed along the flow path between the inlet and outlet temperature sensors, and intermediate temperature sensors are disposed adjacent respective heating elements to measure an intermediate temperature within the flow path. A controller operates the heating elements to heat a fluid within the flow path to a predetermined set point temperature based on the measurements of the flow rate sensor and temperature sensors.

A water-heating system, including: a controller; a refrigerant-water heat exchanger for exchanging heat between refrigerant and water; a sensor circuit for measuring a current water temperature of water in a water heater and providing the current water temperature to the controller; a first refrigerant pipe for passing the refrigerant from a refrigerant source to the refrigerant-water heat exchanger; a second refrigerant pipe for passing the refrigerant from the refrigerant-water heat exchanger to the refrigerant source; a first water pipe for passing the water from the water heater to the refrigerant-water heat exchanger; a second water pipe for passing the water from the refrigerant-water heat exchanger to the water heater; and a water pump for pumping water from the water heater to the refrigerant-water heat exchanger via the first water pipe and from the refrigerant-water heat exchanger to the water heater via the second water pipe based on a control signal.

The present disclosure provides a hot water storage tank support system and a water heater pan. In one implementation, the hot water tank support system comprises a water heat pan having a bottom wall, an outer wall extending upwardly from and substantially surrounding the bottom wall, and at least one elevated support feature, and at least one substantially rigid supplemental support component. The at least one elevated support feature is configured to support the hot water storage tank, and the at least one elevated support feature includes at least one supplemental support cavity configured to receive the at least one supplemental support component. In some implementations, the supplemental support component(s) may be insertable and removable from the water heater pan.

A filling loop device is provided to facilitate filling of an installed pressurised heating circuit (2) including a boiler (furnace) (1) from a mains supply pipe (3). The device includes a dead-man valve (14) configured to normally close off a water channel provided by a hose (16). This ensures that the channel can only be opened when attended during charging. Conventionally the hose ordinarily used to charge the heating circuit should be removed after isolation valves are closed at the inlet (4) and outlet (6). However careless operatives have been found to have frequently left the hose in place with the isolation valves open causing serious damage to the boiler.

A second embodiment of the invention includes a pressure regulation valve (25) in the filling loop device to prevent careless operatives charging the system to excessive pressure.

A third embodiment provides a pressure regulation valve in the circuit, normally biased to a closed condition with a dead-man actuator to open the channel.

An air pressure regulating device comprises an expansion tank having air stored therein and having an air injection/discharge port at an outside thereof; and a pressure regulation unit provided with a three-way ball valve connected to the air injection/discharge port, a pressure gauge which is installed in any one of flow paths of the three-way ball valve to check an internal pressure of the expansion tank, and a valve core which is installed in a flow path other than the flow path in which the pressure gauge is installed to be capable of injecting or discharging air into or from the expansion tank so as to be capable of controlling the internal pressure of the expansion tank.
