PlumbingInstallation & Assembly4HighHomeowner$ implied
Installed Navien water heater with Navicirc recirculation valve but hot water takes over a minute to reach farthest fixture, and condensate drain is missing causing water spray on concrete wall.
The Navicirc valve is not functioning as expected to provide near-instant hot water, possibly due to improper installation or configuration; also, the lack of condensate drain indicates incomplete installation.
