Does hot water take so long to reach the bathroom/faucet furthest from hot water heater simply because of the distance or because the temperature of the pipe all along the route steals the waters heat?
In: Engineering
If it was due to the pipes stealing the heat then it’d never get hot.
It’s purely due to distance and can be alleviated with a recirculating pump, which makes sure the water, even in the pipes, stays hot. This would give you instant hot water at the faucet.
