many sites say to put a heat loop on the tank style water water heater to stop the rise of hot water from the heater.
1. do I need it on both the hot and cold connections?
2. how high must the loop be (how much of a loop up then back down)
3. Are there advantages/ disadvantages of flex copper vs stainless steel mesh flex lines other than cost - which is more reliable?
4. Is there one fitting- not two or 3 that I have to solder together- that will screw into the female IPS hole in the heater top, that the flex connections will then screw onto?
Thanks.
