If a plumber connects a hot water system wrong it can explode an destroy the computer downstairs as well as half the house.
It seems that I'm missing something, but forgive me and let me now how that can happen.
Boilers requires a specific trade to install & service, because when water heats, it expands and releases steam, which cause a significant increase in pressure. A boiler that ruptures under pressure is comparable to a bomb.
In my country, hot water systems do not boil the water. And there is a relieve valve.
Boilers are not used to heat water, they are used to generate steam, and can reach quite high pressures. -- Bob Smits bob@rsmits.ca A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
