Rheem-Ruud PT12992E Heat Trap 3/4″ x 5″

Description

Rheem-Ruud PT12992E Heat Trap — 3/4″ x 5″

The Rheem-Ruud PT12992E is an OEM-quality heat trap fitting designed for use on residential and light-commercial water heaters. Heat traps are installed at the inlet and outlet connections of the water heater tank to prevent thermosiphoning — the natural convective circulation of hot water through the plumbing system when no hot water is being drawn. By stopping this passive heat migration, the heat trap helps reduce standby energy losses and lower operating costs.

Key Features

• OEM Rheem-Ruud replacement heat trap fitting
• 3/4″ connection size for standard water heater inlet/outlet ports
• 5″ overall length for proper installation depth
• Prevents thermosiphoning to reduce standby heat loss
• Helps improve water heater energy efficiency
• Direct OEM replacement for compatible Rheem and Ruud water heater models
• Durable construction for long-lasting, reliable performance

Application

The PT12992E is intended as a direct OEM replacement part for compatible Rheem and Ruud water heater models. It is installed at the hot water outlet or cold water inlet connection on the tank. Always verify compatibility with your specific water heater model before installation.
