Systems and Methods for Attachment of Valve Assemblies in Water Heating Systems

A water heating system, comprising:

• a housing comprising a cover, wherein the cover comprises a cover top surface and a cover bottom surface;
• a water tank disposed in a housing interior portion under the cover bottom surface;
• and
• a valve assembly comprising a valve, a mixer, and a shunt,
• wherein the valve is connected with the mixer via the shunt, wherein the valve is configured to receive a supply of cold water and control a flow of cold water to the water tank and the mixer based on an operating state of the valve, wherein the valve comprises an actuator configured to control the operating state of the valve, and wherein the actuator is disposed above the cover top surface, and the shunt is disposed under the cover bottom surface and above the water tank.

A water heating system, comprising:

• a housing comprising a cover, wherein the cover comprises a cover top surface and a cover bottom surface;
• a water tank disposed in a housing interior portion under the cover bottom surface, wherein the water tank is configured to store hot water;
• and
• a valve assembly comprising a valve, a mixer and a shunt,
• wherein the water tank is connected with the valve and the mixer, wherein the water tank is configured to supply the hot water to the mixer, wherein the valve is configured to receive a supply of cold water and control a flow of cold water to the water tank and the mixer based on an operating state of the valve, wherein the valve is connected with the mixer via the shunt and configured to transfer the cold water to the mixer via the shunt, wherein the mixer is configured to blend the cold water received from the valve and the hot water received from the water tank, and output a blended water, wherein the shunt is made of a flexible material, and wherein the shunt is disposed under the cover bottom surface and above the water tank.
