What it delivers
The Frutlait HOPM001 Hot Water Recirculation Pump is a hot water recirculation pump.
A recirculation pump moves hot water back toward the heater so the far tap runs hot sooner; check that your tankless heater's maker approves the setup.
Pumps come as under-sink kits with a crossover valve or as line pumps near the heater; check which setup your heater's manual allows.
Also on the listing: connections: 3/4" inlet; material: Stainless Steel; model: HOPM001.
The listing gives dimensions of 5.1 in (L) x 5.09 in (W) x 5.3 in (H) and bridge valve in the box.
