Is the inlet pipe behind the water heater 3/4 or 1/2?

Hi Behind the water heater 2 pipes are created, one where the water goes down and enters the water heater and I think that on the left there is another more haunted I don't know if a 3/4 or 1/2 plastic pipe was placed in my orbis What is the corresponding measure? If they were 1/2, would this be the cause of less pressure than due?

Hi. the pressure is given by the height of the tank with respect to the points of use and the flow rate is given to you by the diameter of the pipes. Usually 3/4 "for heating are placed both at the entrance and at the exit. Greetings

if the descent from the water tank to the water heater is through a 3/4 galvanized pipe with a distance of about 8 meters
but if a 1/2-inch plastic pipe was connected to this hurricane behind the water heater, am I in trouble with the pressure?

Can be. Ideally, try to change the entire length of the downpipe of the tank. A whole issue but you will solve the problem.

the only complication is that the galvanized pipe is 4 meters down the terrace and is inserted through a
elbow down inside the house towards the water heater another 2 meters
The thing is that it crosses the roof and
getting him out of that inlay is my concern
there will be problems?

While you repair the area well with concrete and then a couple of hands of fibrous paint there will be no problems.

If I did not misunderstand, coldd says that the descent from the tank is with 3/4 galvanized spout and from there to the 1/2 spout plastic water heater. If so and according to Servimat's recommendation, you should replace the latter with a 3/4 one. Arming

hello armondocr really surgeon doctor?
the recommendation of servimat to change the whole pipe was also for the reason why
the shower does not turn on the heater well without the help of another tap, then those 7 meters of galvanized spout
I could have tartar so the idea of changing all that stretch for a 3/4 plastic
Do you think this is wrong armandocr?
Cheers

hello servimat, I have a waterproofing Recuplast Fronts paint, does it also work instead of fibrated paint?

It would not help you, they are different things. The one you mention is an aesthetic finishing paint and the other one (the one I recommend) is for sealing surfaces. You can buy a 1 liter container to cover the patch.

They tell me about the paint shop where I bought the Recuplast Fronts that I would need a liquid membrane like Recuplast Ceilings or Sikafill Ceilings

Servimat, isn't there something little house that would seal any leakage there in the wall placement
on the roof of the new pipe
I have the Tacurú that I have put in grouts in cracks to walls and for years that I do not enter any drop or moisture
what do you think?

If it is only for a patch, buy 1 liter of the paint you want while it is fiber or polyurethane.

hello servimat
And the asphalt paint? That black doesn't work?
with 2 or 3 or 4 handles of this asphalt paint around where the pipe is placed ...
(which is worth only $ 150 a liter and the fibrous one is worth $ 500 a liter
I clarify that the entrance of the pipe is on a side edge in front of the terrace
that gives to the patio

Hello servimat
I finished covering the thermosetting stick and just released the shower with the new cane
I also have to open another canine a little so that the heater turns on well
and then the rain on the flower is the same with the old cane
I mean the cane was not the problem,
Mariotti supposed well when he said that it is rare for him to cover his cane
For my part I already bought 2 pipes of 4 meters 3/4 of thermofusion to change the galvanized pipe in the lowering of the tank to the water heater
in the galvanized pipe

Asphalt paint can be used, it has been used for years as a surface primer.

servimat, Here I send you a couple of photos so you can see
how the galvanized pipe is directed from the tank to the water heater,
but I anticipate that:
Go down from the tank 1 meter of 3/4 water pipe to the floor of the terrace through which it travels about 4 or 5 meters and then down to the water heater about 2 meters almost
And here they are, with a carmine arrow I indicate the route of the pipe on the terrace and in the other photo I indicate
the water pipe that goes down to the water heater, next to it is the gas pipe.

The horizontal spout almost certainly has tartar inside.

hello servimat
I think I understand that you are referring to the horizontal pipe that goes from where
start there on the terrace below the tank to the edge of the ledge which is where
go down to the water heater right?
I do not see any elbow in sight there on the ledge, of course it must be there where it is
embedded in the ledge
And here again I will need the gas bottle, the thread will surely be redure there
and my well-known gasman, can't come in 3 weeks for work

although from what I see in the water heater only the downpipe on its right side
he is the one who is warmed behind the water heater
look at the water heater, notice that the descent at the exit comes from the left in an external pipe
and the entrance to the water heater there with a red arrow is ua of 3/4

I believe that there is only one walled pipe, it is the one of descent and it is on the right of the water heater
above the water heater in 2002 was the voided water stopcock that didn't close properly
maybe there was something there that does not let the water in the water at all

It is not necessary to loosen or unscrew the pipes. You can cut them with the grinder directly.

hello servimat
but if I cut the horizontal pipe on the terrace from the bottom of the tank to the ledge (about 4 meters)
How does one end the green spout with the cut end of the galvanized spout?

Cutting the pipes was not to screw them out. Ideally, you replace the entire pipe, from the tank outlet to the heater inlet.

hello servimat
this week should change the pipes
I want to show you here in this photo the old water stopcock of those that have a round handle
car steering wheel type that failed that is why it was canceled
and then they put a new one under the water heater at the entrance to this
Do not you think that in the old stopcock would be the problem that little water passes to the water heater?
With the blue arrow I indicate the old key to which I covered it with mixture
and with the red arrow I point to the new stopcock

hello servimat, tomorrow my acquaintance comes, says that at noon it would end
the placement of the new pipe.
I bought a kg of Megaflex liquid membrane today
and also a 25 x 3/4 tube and a 25 x 3/4 elbow
Tomorrow I will tell you how the shower is with the new hot melt pipe.
It is expected that the hot water of the shower manages to turn on the heater well and not halfway.

hello servimat, we took out the galvanized pipe and put the green
the galvanized had tartar!
look at the photo =
https://ibb.co/dYEpg9
-------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
the water in the shower improved, for a while he turned on the water heater, but no
completely and then he didn't turn it on again, but the flow improved!
but we still don't turn on the water well
My acquaintance told me that if the one who put the water pipe to the mixer
I would have put a lot of sealant this would overflow and would not let go
well all the water
What do you suggest?
greeting

the truth is the heater starts but it needs a little help but now it is a much smaller help
Look at pictures of the rain, the position of the slide in the water heater and the little help:

hello servimat
the 2nd photo is the water heater
the green pipe that was changed, it was only for the galvanized that reached the old water stop valve canceled cms above the water heater, from this key down to the water heater there is a 3/4 plastic water pipe, this one it was touched, the old stopcock was removed and the green pipe was joined with a 25 x 3/4 tube
Do you understand
the pressure improved a lot
Before she was a little help from the tap, she had to have more water, and there was less left in the shower, add to that
that less water came from the water heater
when I bathed that rain in the photo it was just one
