Dɛn nti na baseboard heating pipe a apaapae kɔ so yiri fa fie no mu a ennyae sen sɛ ɛbɛda mpan wɔ lita kakraa bi akyi?¶

Ɛkame ayɛ sɛ Amerika Atifi fam nsu a wɔde yɛ nsu a wɔde yɛ nsu a ɛyɛ hyew nyinaa nam kɔbere a ɛyɛ adwuma ankasa a wɔde ma nsu a wɔde ma (Pressure Reducing Valve anaa PRV, a wɔde asi hɔ sɛ kilopascals 83 kosi 103 / 12 kosi 15 psi) so na ɛkɔ nsuonwini a wɔde ma wɔ fie no mu.
