      A:  Yes, the unit does require pressure in order to perform correctly.

      by|May 5, 2023

        A:  Without water pressure, you won't have any water coming out of any of your faucets!

          A:  Not sure what you mean. Your cold water should be coming from the main valve into the right inlet on top of your water heater. The water heater heats it up and it goes out the left side into the house.

                Q:What is the overall width including the electric light control box?

                Answer This Question

                A:  Unfortunately, we do not calculate the width including the control valve. However, based on a quick look at our models, the vesta valve appears to stick out about 4 inches beyond the width of the unit. So with this unit's width at 16.5", I would say its about 20.5" wide with the control valve.
