2. Water heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_heating

   In traditional plumbing in the UK, the space-heating boiler is set up to heat a separate hot water cylinder or water heater for potable hot water. Such water heaters are often fitted with an auxiliary electrical immersion heater for use if the boiler is out of action for a time. Heat from the space-heating boiler is transferred to the water ...

3. Heat trap - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_trap

   Microcirculation on the left: Heated water is rising into the pipe on top of the hot water tank, cooling off on the sides of the pipe and thence circulating back into the tank. Right: Circulation of hot water is inhibited by the loop in the pipe. Heat traps are valves or loops of pipe on the cold water inlet and hot water outlet of water heaters.

4. Trace heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trace_heating

   Hot water service piping can also be traced, so that a circulating system is not needed to provide hot water at outlets. The combination of trace heating and the correct thermal insulation for the operating ambient temperature maintains a thermal balance where the heat output from the trace heating matches the heat loss from the pipe.

   Plumbing systems also service air distribution/control, and therefore contribute to the mechanical part of MEP. Plumbing for HVAC systems involves the transfer of coolant, pressurized air, water, and occasionally other substances. Ducting for air transfer may also be consider plumbing, but is generally installed by different tradespeople. [11]

   The advantages of this method are durability, speed, neatness, and safety. The connection can be made even when the tubing is wet. Crimped fittings are suitable for drinking water pipes and other hot-and-cold systems (including central heating). They are more expensive than sweated fittings.
