Do you agree with this statement: "The 4” drain/fill nozzle is for both functions, as its name indicates. " Can we use 1 nozzle for both drain/fill functions for our thermal storage tanks or do we have to use 1 nozzle for drain and 1 nozzle for make-up water? Thank you so much!

What do we use to connect PVC & Steel pipes? Pipe expansion required? Would that effect the insulation? Can the transition be within the concrete (thrust block) from outside to inside the building? This application is for Chilled Water Supply and Return. Thank you

My drawing indicates the Honeywell 3-way modulating Control Valves on the Supply side (modulating the return side), shouldn't the Valve be on the Return Side for Chiller Water and Hot Water System? I thought it was a drawing error. Would that effect the flow efficiency if it's located on the...
